Glad i found creative fabrica its fantastic, £60 for a full year and you are all ok to sell items with the designs on I wasted sooo much money on design bundles before finding creative fabrica
Thanks for watching! I really was happy to learn that the Cameo 5 does well with the settings in Silhouette Studio. I know that the Cameo 4 usually needed some tweaking.
Thanks for such an informative video. I've just got my hands on the Cameo 5. It's my first cutter... I had a go with the mat that came with it, but it seemed way too sticky, I struggled to take the protective sheet off and then the piece of copy paper that I used to make the first cut curled up so much! The tip about turning the mat over, and then rolling it of will really help. I've got some other mats too, so I'll give those a try and I'm keen to give matless cutting a go too, along with rolled vinyl.
@@silhouettesuccess Thanks for the tip. I purchased some deTAPE mats and just had a go with the light tack version and that worked brilliant. The copy paper peeled off nicely without curling up. I'm now struggling to get it to connect via USB when I use Silhouette Connect, but it is working fine when I use Silhouette Studio? It's all a learning experience for sure! 🙂
I did not purchase the ES Mat for the cameo 5 because I have it analysis on the curio 2. If you do a lot of paper cutting, then I think it is worth it.
What I really want to know is how loud is it compared to Cricut explore 3? I want to switch to cameo, but the noise will be sorta a deal breaker, because I work in a shared room.
Hello, im curious how you have the presets available for the cameo 5? I have the latest and there are no presets. My screen on the send mode has no compatable settings for this machine. Can you please share how you got your setting? Thank You!
i recently downloaded the latest version of business, sad thing is I have a cameo 4 plus and never used it, I wanted the cameo five with the static tray to do print and cut htv. I have been a Roland GS-24 cutter user for about six years so this cameo is all new to me@@silhouettesuccess
This is amazing! I wish Silhoutte will update their tutorial for the Studio with the latest Cameo 5. I had a Cricut and just bought a cameo 5. tried my first print and cut. Supposedly only need 3 sheets, I ended up printing another 2 as the cut went haywire or the cut alignment was not there. Out of the 3 sheets completed, I only am satisfied with one. Help! The software is not as clear as I expected, how do I even do a kisscut if i want to.
The software is a lot different than Design Space, and it will take a while to adjust. I switched from Cricut, as well. I do have some videos on stickers. Did you see them?
Hi! I have the Cameo 5 Plus. Can i get your advice? Two issues: When doing a test cut, it cuts outside of the cut area on the upper left notch on the part where there is no tack on the mat. Second issue, when I use my old portrait cutting mats w the cameo plus 5, even with changing the mat to either of the portrait options, they cut outside of the mat (as if i'm Loading Media instead of Loading Cutting Mat). The only solution I can find right now is to change the mat to a Cameo Plus mat, even if i'm using a Portrait mat, and that seems to work.
I got so frustrated with my Cameo blade settings, that I bought a Scan n Cut with true auto blade technology. My Cameo is about 8 years old. I like what I am seeing with the Cameo 5.
Hello, I have a problem with re-cutting again when I turn off Bluetooth or disconnect the cable because I have another device, Cameo 4. I want it to work at the same time, knowing that the program was last upgraded to Business Edition.
You shouldn't need to disconnect. There's a little symbol all the way at the bottom of the screen that looks like a Cameo. If you click on that, you can see all of the machines that you have connected. Choose which one you want to send the job to. You can name your machines to make it easier to tell them apart.
@@silhouettesuccess Yes, I know that, but the new addition to the Cameo 5 device, from the touch screen, re-works like the Cameo 2, I cannot work with it. It must be connected unlike the Cameo 2.
The truth is it’s junk. Just my personal experience. It’s been a week and it’s still sitting here. Silhouette won’t respond to emails, documention has never been updat3d from Cameo 4 to 5, Bluetooth will not connect and get this - it’s not onboard WiFi - it’s a dongle. Even after buying two more on my own it still fails to connect. All my other 32 devices, no problem. You’ll notice how many videos like this on TH-cam there are like this and it’s mainly because the company has failed to support its own product via well, support documentation. After three emails and two requesting a refund a week ago I have yet to hear a peep out of them.
I'm sorry to hear about your negative experience with the Silhouette. It's frustrating when a product doesn't live up to expectations, especially when the company's support is lacking. Hopefully, they will respond to your emails soon and resolve the issues you're facing. Unfortunately, this seems to be the new norm in the craft machine industry. I left Cricut and moved to Silhouette years ago because of their customer service reputation.
My Cameo 3 settings worked fine for me. But the Cameo 4 were a miss. I kept thinking maybe they released it to soon with the pandemic and all and would some how update us. But no! I have found that increasing the Force and decreasing the blade depth and given me great cuts.
Sorry 😞 but the Cameo 5 is a damn plastic crap. I used Cameo 4 by far better. Issues over issues bad quality. 2 times by the service without using it often...
Oh no! What issues are you having?? I might not be able to solve the problems, but I try to understand everyone's experience so that I can point users to customer service if needed. I haven't had any problems with mine, so I can't let people know of specific issues without input like yours.
@@silhouettesuccess Oh, the manufacturer itself is great! I used Cameo 4 for 2,5 years and never had any problems. I thought I'd sell the old horse and jump on the new one. With all the new features, I just thought WOW That was the biggest mistake. Cameo 5 is a plastic-breaking disease. Many things are not well thought out and seem more like a test version. 2 times small parts are broken (roll holder) roll guide or what are they called) Cuts badly out of nowhere or leaves edges over. Partly sporadic problems that greet you from time to time and then disappear. So I've had it in the house 3 times, and I'm fed up with it. I'll buy the old Cameo 4 and wait until Cameo 5 is fully developed or Cameo 6 comes out.
@@fitramitra847 I've heard quite a few people say that the rollers have broken. I almost always cut with a mat, so I don't move them too often. I'll be extra careful, though. My Cameo 4 is still running like a champ, and I'm getting a like new cameo 3 this evening. I'll always have a backup. 😅

Start watching the site around black Friday. They run specials, and you can add extra years for super cheap!
Looks great! Again, thank you for these videos 😊

Thanks for watching! If your mat is too sticky, stick it to your shirt a couple of times. A bit of lint will stick to it and make it just right.

@@edwardholmes91 I don't use silhouette connect, but I have heard others are having issues with it. Might be a bug in the software.
What a fabulous project! Love it! 😍
My son ripped it open and ate the candy before I could get a video. 🤣 I guess he liked it.
Really cute
Thanks for your video! Do you have any experience with the Electrostatic Grip Mat Attachment? I am wondering if it is worth the money?

I can't compare. I have my cricut away 3 years ago. Lol.
How AWESOME!!!!
can i use my own materials? like PDMS and other polymers instead of stuff like cardstock? will the machine still work?
Hello, im curious how you have the presets available for the cameo 5? I have the latest and there are no presets. My screen on the send mode has no compatable settings for this machine. Can you please share how you got your setting? Thank You!
That's strange. What version of the software are you running? The list is not complete, but the basics should be there.
i recently downloaded the latest version of business, sad thing is I have a cameo 4 plus and never used it, I wanted the cameo five with the static tray to do print and cut htv. I have been a Roland GS-24 cutter user for about six years so this cameo is all new to me@@silhouettesuccess
I think Ive been readin that you have to create your own settings for each material, which I have no patients and still learning
@@silhouettesuccess
@markhexamer that's more for specialty materials and the new tools. What do you want to cut? I might be able to get you set up.
hey there and thanks again, for now HTV, regular and puff v
inyl and inkjet sticker paper@@silhouettesuccess

May shifts when cutting caused that, there is no solution for that. Good luck.
Why didn't you cut the little purple piece along with the first purple cut?
Because three main pieces were cut out of cardstock, the embellishments were cut from adhesive vinyl. I'm not a big fan of gluing the little pieces. 😅
Thanks for this video 💕
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
I got so frustrated with my Cameo blade settings, that I bought a Scan n Cut with true auto blade technology. My Cameo is about 8 years old. I like what I am seeing with the Cameo 5.
I do love the new machines! The Cameo 5 is faster, quieter, and the blade settings are more accurate. Overall a good experience.

Where can I find the domes?
They are actually clear Christmas ornaments. I got mine from Amazon. amzn.to/3tPZYCy

Agree mine never cuts right for print and cut and I have done a lot test and calibrate. I went from 1 to 4 to another 4. It’s always off.
my cameo 4 was sitting in the storage after 2 weeks of purchasing. Cutting mats shifts all the time when cutting.
My Cameo 3 settings worked fine for me. But the Cameo 4 were a miss. I kept thinking maybe they released it to soon with the pandemic and all and would some how update us. But no! I have found that increasing the Force and decreasing the blade depth and given me great cuts.
