Thank you so much for your very clear videos. I have only just acquired a second hand Cameo 4 (in case I didn't like it) and have discovered a load of things to do with it - all thanks to you. I am just making a 90th birthday card for my Mum - a pop up with a photo of her at 90. Still glamorous! Thanks again from a 68 year old in the UK.

Hi there! The Portrait can cut a depth of 2mm and for this craft you aren't cutting all the way through so you would just have to check the thickness of the acrylic.

Awesome project! I'm trying to replicate it, but found my Chomas blade stops before reaching the acrylic blank like there's not enough clearance. I tried slipping the blank under the area between the two pen slots and it fits. The Chomas blade, however, looks like it is 1mm too low. Do the blanks have to be less than 3mm? This one is 0.12 inches (which = 3.048mm). Am I supposed to be adjusting the rollers or anything else?

Hey Carmela! Without looking at it, I'm not sure why that wouldn't work. What you can do is put your acrylic on your cutting mat, then follow a method like I show for creating templates in a different video. I'll link it here for you to watch, I think it should help in this situation also, just make sure you create an offset around your design so you an still use it with the adhesive vinyl to hold the acrylic in place.

I have the Silhouette Curio and was always taught use the emboss/deboss panel for etching. I actually only used the Line Effects for the first time in a long time to get to the marker sketching two days ago! I was wondering then which one should I be using when I noticed it said for sketching or etching projects at the top! The emboss/deboss panel only has 4 effects, I think the scribble effect would be good to have on some parts of my acrylic etching projects. I double crosshatch all my acrylic etching with one at an angle since I like it super white to show up even better, especially on Christmas ornaments and other acrylics that will NOT be lighted. I think it looks even nicer on the LED acrylics AND they show up well even when the LED base is off. I actually have two copies of the design with one copy crosshatching at an angle and change the color on one so it is easier to line up. I do use enable smart snapping to get them to line up perfectly and group them together to make sure they STAY together. I do zoom WAY in to make sure they are perfectly lined up. I'm so glad I watched this video, I thought RELEASE EFFECTS was the opposite of what it was... :) ANd learning I can use the Sketching panel for etching too! Your other videos have me thinking about saving up for an Epson that will allow me to use Sublimation inks... Oh well, I already have two heat presses, lots of shirts, some of which can be used without sublimating on my white glitter HTV. You are a bad enabler! :)

Hey Angela! Thanks so much sharing your experiences for etching! I love when we come together as a crafting community and share our wealth of information! Sublimation is a fabulous craft, maybe Santa will bring you a printer for Christmas (wink wink). But yes, I have been called an enabler a time or two, I will wear my badge proudly LOL. Thanks again! ---Becky

Can cameo 4 etch a 3mm thick acrylic?
@DesignBundles
@DesignBundles 3 жыл бұрын
Hey Abigail, the Cameo 3 can accommodate 3mm acrylic, but each machine is a little different and some crafters have reported the 3mm being slightly too thick. So I would stick with the 2mm or switch to a Curio. Hope this helps! ---Becky

I'm using Cameo 4, but when i send the designs to sketch - it seems to leave out parts of my design. They're totally not etched at all, but those parts could be in the middle of the entire design and not thin at all. It also seems like I can't cut one entire design in one go, as it'll stop less then 5 mins into etching, and not even half way done. I'll have to split the etching process into multiple parts just to get one full design. Have you faced any of these problems?
@DesignBundles

Hey Krys, have you tried connecting your Cameo with the USB cord? Sometimes my Cameo 4 will seem to time-out, even saying it's complete, but then it will resume if I give it a minute. I figured it was a hiccup in the bluetooth communication. If this isn't it, I would probably reach out to Silhouette America's support team in case it is a technical issue. Hope this helps! ---Becky

I etched a nightlight on my Cameo 4. It did a great job except it leaves scratches when it moves from one area to another. I can't raise the blade like you can on a Cameo 3 because it has to be in the special pen holder. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?

Hey Debbie! So I think what I would do is try to raise it a little before locking the holder in. You should have a little bit of wiggle room, just a little, and that slight change in depth may solve your problem. Also, make sure you are using the 2mm acrylic instead of the 3mm, that will help. Let me know how it turns out!! Hope this helps! ---Becky

Not sure you will see this. Love all your videos. Don’t understand the “no cut” process. I usually change the line colors, use the line option, choose the line color and deselect the line colors I don’t want and I can cut individual pieces but clearly I can learn a better process. Can you explain better
@DesignBundles
@DesignBundles 4 жыл бұрын
Hey Pamela! If you are already using the Cut by Color (line) option, then you are ahead of the game! The Cut/No Cut is available at all levels, whereas Cut by Color (fill or line) is an upgrade feature. But if that is what you are comfortable with, I think that process will be more efficient for you! Hope this helps! ---Becky
