    I can't thank you enough! I was literally on the verge of tears lol. To think the fix was as simple as locking the friggen blade. Feeling a mix of emotions right now. Happy that I can finally start making decals, and pissed that I made such a simple mistake lol. Thank you thank you thank you again!

    I use these settings for autoblade and vinyl + cutting mat. (My machine is Cameo 3)
    Depth 2, Speed 1 (speed for vinyl should always be 1, specially when doing intricate designs), and Strength/Pressure 15. So 2, 1, 15. When trying different materials always start with lowest number and rise it by 1 until you get desired cut. Sometimes the pressure (last setting) is also important to do a good cut together with a low number on the autoblade. You'll get the feel of it once you test different thick materials and then you can calculate the settings by the thickness/previous experience. Cameo is an awesome machine I love it!

    I know you keep hearing this, but THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!! I've had my Cameo 3 for 2.5 years and have been having this problem, right out the start gate. My blade was sitting exactly like your first example. It looked "in" all the way to me! After 2 years of disappointment, I'm so very excited to use this cutter. I've been designing things that I had no knowledge of how to cut. I'm definitely having a yahoo moment because of you.

  • @carolinecordelia
    @carolinecordelia 5 лет назад

    Thank you so much for explaining this. My auto blade cut right through my mat. I have been using Silhouette machines for ten years and never seen this issue before.
    I figured it was my fault, but didn't know what it was.
    My auto blade was tightly put in though so I hope that it will adjust right now when I removed it and put it back in.
    If this doesn't help I just have to use my old cut blade with my old Cameo. Have to get a new mat too as it was sliced through the middle and I taped it with some duct tape from the back so it doesn't bend.
    I love my Cameo 3 anyway, cause it's pink :)

    Hello there, thanks for this video; I think you should fallow up with how to change or fix the cutting strip. (I looked at your videos and didn't find anything to that extend)
    I had the issues you describe in this video, ended up IM with someone and they were very helpful, BUT, my mat is cut all the way thru and even the cutting strip has a long gap of about 3 millimeters deep. Now my blade gets stuck in that gap (Or at least thats what I think is happening) Thanks for your efforts to help! Liz

  • @eclaire.wellness
    @eclaire.wellness 5 лет назад +1

    I tried all of your great suggestions but my autoblade was still cutting too deep, and it was tapping around to 1 correctly, firmware was up to date etc. (I started to wonder if I had label paper that was too thin for the machine or something!)
    But I remembered I had also purchased a deep cut blade. So I had a look at how far its blade stuck out at 1 in comparison to the autoblade at 1. The autoblade stuck our more. Also even when the autoblade was at 0 it still stuck out a lot. I had purchased a second autoblade too and it was the same. So I tried cutting with the deep cut blade set to 1 and force 1. And bugger me if it didn't work perfectly!
    So I tried manually clicking the autoblade to 0, put it back in the machine and told the machine it was a ratchet blade instead. It managed to do the kiss cut I wanted!
    So then I set the autoblade to 0 again with my finger (and cut myself :) lol ) and then pushed the blade down hard on my desk. I think it had helped push the blade up a little into the housing. So now I am achieving a kiss cut with the blade set to autoblade.
    Anyway for those of you have trouble with the autoblade cutting too deep, even on 1 give this a try. Set the base of the autoblade to zero with your fingernail, then pop in it the cameo as usual. But in the studio program, tell the software it is a ratchet blade and see if it works for you.

    New issue unlocked. Selecting the correct depth is good. My problem is that it does not reset it properly. So if i manually reset the blade and then run the cut, it works. After that, if i want to cut something else, if i don't manually reset the blade, it will not reset it and it will go for example from 3 (the last setting i had) t=+ the new setting (let's say 5) so it will cut at 8.
