hi guys welcome to my channel Avanti Morocha.
today I'm going to talk about Silhouette Cameo 3
I will tell you all you need to know to get started and how do I use it.
For those who don't know the Cameo 3 is cutting machine and
it's able to cut over a hundred types of materials like paper cardstock, vinyl, fabric and more
There are two versions of the Cameo 3
The Bluetooth edition that includes the bluetooth adapter already installed
This model is offer in the USA Canada and EU
and the Standard edition that is Bluetooth compatible
but it doesn't include an adapter
if you have the standard edition you can buy the adapter to enable the bluetooth
if you don't know what edition you have to check the box
in the bottom right corner you should say bluetooth included or bluetooth compatible.
For me it's really convenient to use the bluetooth,
I like to have the Cameo on my worktable and my computer on my desk without any cable between them.
This is the Cameo 3, the button to turn on the machine is on the right side
Here is the port for the USB,
here is the port to connect your computer to the Cameo if you are not using the Bluetooth
and here is the power cable
Cameo 3 has a touch screen.
Press the gear and then select your language
I'm going to leave it in English
press the arrow back.
Now you can select a sleep mode, theme, watch a tutorials and more
Cameo 3 hasa lot of storage
you can pull these pockets here
place your tools here
your cross cutter here if you have markers you can place in here
and place your blades here.
The CAMEO 3 provides a dual-carriage to hold two different blades simultaneously.
Cameo 3 comes with the auto-blade.
I'm going to show you how to remove it.
Pull the tool holder tab towards you
and pull the blade.
This is the auto blade, as you can see it has some ridges.
This blade can only be place in tool holder 1.
The tool holder one is the only one that has notches where the auto blade can slide into it.
Now push the tap holder,
you'll see that there is now a blue circle.
This means the tool holder is lock.
Let me zoom in this area.
To insert a blade the tool holder has to be unlocked,
This is how it looks when is unlock.
To lock it push the tool holder tab.
You'll see the dot became blue.
This is the deep cut blade. It doesn't come with the machine,
but I recommend getting it if you are planning to cut material like vinyl
glitter card stock or craft foam
Insert the blade into the tool holder and lock it.
Keep in mind that only the auto- blade will change its settings automatically when using it with Cameo 3.
The rest of blades need to be set manually.
For example the deep cut blade depth can beset from 1 to 20
It has two lines .
The blue line is from 1 to 10 and the red is from11 to 20
if you see blue it means that you are setting the depth for the blue line
and if you only see red that means that you are setting the depth for the red line.
You'll need to change the blade depth based on the parameters Silhouette Studio shows you when selecting a material
or based on the thickness of the material.
With Cameo3 you can adjust the rollers to cut different size materials
A4, letter, 12 " and 13".
Release the lever and turn it clockwise,
Hold the roller body and head then twist it into the unlock position.
Slide the roller to the desired position.
and twist it to lock it in place .
Move the lever back to its position.
when placing the mat pull out the little tabs in this area.
these help you to keep the mat in a good position.
it is really important to align the mat with this blue line.
Now load the mat.
Silhouette has a lot of languages to choose from when staring the setup,
which is one of the many reasons the setup of Cameo 3 is so easy .
These are the steps you're going to follow to register and download the software.
When you are in step #5 check you inbox, cameo will send you an email with a code
that you'll use to get a free subscription to Design Store for a month.
The program that you get when you buy the Cameo 3 is Silhouette Studio Basic Edition
This software is very powerful,
especially when compared to other design applications bundled with cutting machines..
If you are familiar with graphic design software, you're going to like the interface of Silhouette Studio.
There are a lot of keyboard shortcuts that you can use.
if you are not familiar with a graphic design software don't get scare,
you have all the information you need in the Cameo manual and there are a lot of online tutorials
This is Silhouette Studio Basic Edition,
on the left side you have a couple tools
like the Select tool, edit points, make a line, draw a shape, the freehand pen,
add text, add a note, eraser and a knife on the right hand side you have panels
On the right size you have panels,
like the pixel scan, fill, line style, trace, special effects,
text style, transform, replica, modify and more.
I'm now going to design store. Here you can buy projects.
Some of them are 0.50 cents other are a little more expensive.
You can also pay a subscription you can choose the basic, deluxe, premium or diamond.
you can also select the length of the subscription three six or twelve month.
Now go to the library.
when you buy the Cameo 3 it comes with a hundred images, click the library folder
It's important that you create an account on Silhouette Cloud,
everything that you buy in Designer Store is going to be sync to the cloud.
The Silhouette Studio I showed you is the Basic Edition
if you need more functionality you can upgrade the software
to the Designer Edition for $49.99
or to the Designer Edition Plus for $74.99
or to the Business Edition for $99.99
if it is in your possibilities I recommend getting the Silhouette Studio Designer Edition,
This allow you to use SVG files.
As you know I sell digital files on Etsy and my favorite files are SVG
the main reason is that they are vector and that they save the information of their dimensions.
For example if you buy the patterns to make these succulents you will open the SVG files
on Silhouette Studio Designer Edition and the only thing you need to do is send the job out to cut
if you want to change the size you only need to adjust the proportions
and because it's an SVG file it retains the quality of the cut.
now I'm going to teach you how to make a cake topper
using one of the images you got for free with the purchase of your Cameo 3.
Go to the library and select the Happy Birthday image.
I know I want a topper to be 5 inches tall.
I'm going to remove the parts I don't need
Select everything and press ungroup.
I am now going to remove the exclamation sign.
Link the dot to the letter "I" now select the elements and press the weld icon.
Go to the offset panel and set the offset to 0.05
press apply.
Go back to the modify panel and select the elements then press the weld icon.
Now I have a ticker stroke.
Select the Edit point tool
There are tons of points to simplify them press this tool
I am now going to use this set of tools to modify some of the lines.
For this cake-topper I'm going to use the deep cut blade.
select everything and press tool 2.
Instead of using Cameo pre-settings for glitter cardstock.
I'm going to use my own which I have tried and I know works.
Set the deep cut blade to depth 20 speed 3 force 28 passes two.
The time it took to cut the cake-topper was about 4 minutes
These are a couple projects I made with Cameo 3: cake toppers, I cut small flowers,
flower centers for large flowers, greenery for flower backdrops
this box, stickers and this succulent.
I want you to keep in mind that the time the cameo is going to take to cut a project
it depends on how complex is.
For example to cut the center of this flower is going to take you about two minutes
and to cut the center of this flower is going to take you about four minutes
if you're a crafty person and you make project all the time you're going to love the Cameo3
if you have an event decor or catering business this machine is going to be of a lot of help.
I want thank Silhouette for sending me the Cameo 3 to make this review.
This machine is really good and Silhouette Studio exceeded my expectations.
I'm going to leave you the links to where you can buy the Cameo 3 in the info box below the video
