OMG MY E JUST BROKE!

I was having problems with scallop circles, they were lopsided. I called PC on Friday and they are going to send me a new E. Well it is a good thing!! BECAUSE IT JUST BROKE! I don't mean it won't cut, or won't turn on, or the keys won't work, or anything like that.......


I MEAN IT BROKE!!

I was cutting some stuff for Valentines cards and was watching it like I usually watch my Cricut cut and I noticed the blade housing was kinda swaying. The more I watched it the more the housing swayed!!

So after it finishes I thought I would take out the blade housing and see if something odd was going on.....I unscrewed the little thing AND IT BROKE!! JUST CAME OFF IN MY HAND!!

This is the arm thing that swings out when you take out the blade housing.









here is a close up
When I was cutting for a LO earlier I noticed the cuts were kinda odd in some places, corners were kinda rounded instead of sharp. Guess I should have looked closer then. I just wasted a piece of my precious Mica cardstock!!

*okie sighs deeply and is very very very very sad*

    I'm sorry to hear you are having such problems with your new E! Sounds like the issues I had when I got my cuttlebug in the mail after waiting 4 weeks to finally get it. Thank Goodness Provo Craft is so good with customer service. I hope your new E arrives safe and sound.

    You are not alone, I had the problem of the "black arms" wobbling and not cutting right.(2/08) when I bought my E,it didn't break like yours did thou. Though PC would have fixed this problem by now.
    Your new one will be faster than you expect!!! Then you will be off and running for more paper to make cards and LOs to share with us on the board and on your blog :-)
