Inleiding
The roller bar mechanism of the Cricut Maker is the piece that allows the machine to create these designs and patterns. It rotates to keep the blades and engraving tips in line and precise.
If you find that your roller bar is not working, or it is damaged, this replacement guide is for you!
Before you begin the repair, be sure to turn the device off and unplug it from the outlet.

Press down on the lid.

Push the lid outwards to free it from the jointed clasps.
Where is/are the steps to get to the point of seeing the motor? I've got the top cover off, but that doesn't reveal the motor. There are steps missing between 4 and 5.
There are x7 small screws on the inside upper panel that have to be removed as well as x4 long screws under the feet of the machine.
I had to turn on my machine and send a project to it to have the cutter mechanism move out of the way to remove some of the screws. Once all the screws have been removed the case can be pulled away, but you have to be careful when removing because there are some wires connecting the buttons on the case to the harddrive.
Where can I get the replacement part(s) to make the door stay up and open?

I think there's a step missing between step 4 and 5. Took the lid off in 4 and in 5 we can already see the motor...
Do you have aline the gears when you put it back together that are on the left side for the small roller ?
Someone can tell me where we can get this gear?
The outer two attachment points of my Cricut were actually glued on, and I had to reach in with the torx driver and remove them while the strip was still on, to be able to get the lid off. On inspection, there would have been no way to lift the strip off in the way described here.
