After comparing the different models Cricut has to offer, I learned the Cricut maker 3 has the most diverse range of capabilities compared to other cricut models.  It can handle a variety of materials such as wood, metal, textiles, and can print up to 12 feet wide. Because of its broad range of capabilities, the Cricut maker 3 is the most expensive of their models to choose from at $400 on average. Cricut does have sales pretty frequently so it’s possible to get your hands on it for less than average.  The Cricut maker 3 is also the largest and heaviest of all the models which is one of the downsides to the device since it would not be practical in my apartment.
