Silhouette Portrait 3 Print and Cut | Complete walk through unboxing to successful print and cut

Lets get the machine out of the box and make some stickers!
We are walking through the entire process of making print and cut stickers on a Silhouette Portrait 3 from downloading the files and unboxing the machine to printing and cutting out the stickers.
Print and cut is one of my favorite things to do with Silhouette machines.
It works if you follow the steps correctly. No hacks necessary.
I am using the Portrait 3. The latest Portrait 4 has been released so that means the Portrait 3 Models are often on sale.
The Portrait 3 uses the same autoblade and manual blades as the new Portrait 4 and Cameo 5 (the tools for the #1 tool carrier) so they will be available for a long time.
