AOOIINExtension Tray for Cricut Maker 4/Maker 3/Maker and Explore 4/3/2/Air, Cutting Mat 12x12 Holder for Cricut Maker and Explore Air Series, Tray Extender Compatible with Grip Mat

This extension tray made my Cricut feel like it grew up and got a promotion. It’s sturdy, well-made, and keeps everything feeding smoothly. No more curling, crumpling, or muttered profanity during big cuts.

If you struggle with your cutting mats bending or falling off while using your Cricut, this extension tray is the perfect solution. I use it with my Cricut Maker 2, and it has made a huge difference in keeping my mats aligned and stable during cuts.Setup & Compatibility: Attaching the tray was super easy, it snaps right onto the front of the machine without any tools or complicated setup. It fits snugly and securely without interfering with how the Cricut functions. I tested it with both 12x12 and 12x24 mats, and it holds them evenly and without sagging.Performance & Build Quality: The tray is made of sturdy plastic that matches the look and feel of the Cricut machine. It’s lightweight but strong enough to support the mat without bending. I noticed that cuts are now more precise since the mat stays level, especially with longer materials like vinyl and cardstock.One thing to note is that this only extends the front, it doesn't provide additional support at the back, so if you're working with longer mats, you might still need something behind your Cricut to catch them. Also, it’s not foldable, so if you're short on space, you’ll have to remove and store it when not in use.Pros:✔️ Keeps cutting mats stable and prevents bending✔️ Easy snap-on installation, no tools required✔️ Compatible with multiple Cricut models and mat sizes✔️ Sturdy and well-madeCons:❌ Doesn’t provide back support for longer mats❌ Not foldable for easy storageOverall, If you’re serious about clean, accurate cuts and want to protect your mats from warping, this tray is an essential add-on. Highly recommend for all Cricut users!

This is such a simple and inexpensive solution to the problem of keeping your cutting mats flat when using a cricut machine. I bought it, assembled it and it hasn't let me down yet. Definately a must to any cricut user.

Quality and durability are great. It has made my job so much easier when cutting vinyl on my cricut. Size is perfect

Works well if you never bump it, it easily comes off and is also easy to install. I would suggest using it if your machine is on a table.

Great little accessory. I moved my Cricut to a cart instead of a table and really needed something like this to help support the mat. It does what it’s supposed to do, fits well and is affordable.

It works just as it should. The way my Cricut is set up, I frequently had to hold the end of the mat up with my hand as it fed in and out of the machine (especially when cutting more rigid materials). But this eliminated that need. It holds the mat up just fine, freeing up my hands for setting up the next mat I want to cut. I'm pretty resistant to the "you really should have this extra item for your already-expensive hobby" mindset, but this one is totally worth it.

Have an explorer and maker, fits both perfectly. Stores in the fold out part. Easy to use, fits mat flat. Sturdy.
