When the Cricut Maker 3 fails to connect to a device via Bluetooth, Design Space shows the machine as “offline” or not connected. It occurs when the Cricut Maker 3 is placed too far away (more than 10-15 feet) from the computer or mobile device. If the machine is not turned on properly, the computer will not recognize it as a Bluetooth device. These fixes can resolve this error quickly.
Fix 1: Check the Distance Between Your Devices
A Bluetooth connection needs the connected devices to be in proximity (close to each other). If the Cricut Maker 3 is placed more than 10-15 feet away from the device, the Bluetooth will not work. Place the machine and the computer at a maximum distance of 10 to 15 feet apart.Fix 2: Check if the Machine Is Powered On
