    I've been having problems with my silhouette not cutting HTV for a very long time and it's been frustrating (and wasteful). I've googled before and purchased new blades, etc but nothing worked. Your video is the first time I heard pressure of 14. It 100% worked! You gave me the solution I was looking for in two seconds, clearly and concisely. THANK YOU!! I was using a pressure of 6 and I had to rewind and re-listen to make sure I heard 14 correctly. Lol. No wonder I had so much trouble. 😅

    You just saved me from throwing my cameo 4 out the window. I have had it almost a year and sadly have never used it to actually do projects with because i was afraid of how LOUD it was that it was broken but then it wasn't cutting all the way through until NOW. I just had to do like you said and put it at 14!! Is it supposed to be loud when cutting? I've been a cricut girl for 4 years and its a LOT quitter than my Cameo 4.

    I have my autoblade in correctly, cut lines are out to send and it's correct blade, force and speed. It was cutting fine until after I did a much higher blade number and force on different lb card stock. Now it can't even cut through 65 lb card stock. Is the blade dull already? I haven't had it nor used it that much since getting it.

    • @SilhouetteSchool
      @SilhouetteSchool  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There could be something in or on the blade like paper dust from the cardstock. I would try to clean it. Make sure the blade is seated all the way in the carriage. Also make sure that the red line is moving when the auto blade is taping so that it's accurately adjusting the blade depth.

    What about if you cutting blade won't reset itself to the right position? I turn my machine on and the cutting mechanism just keeps going across the machine. I didn't know how to explain it. I updated the machine and it immediately messed up my machine. I contacted the company and they said I'd have to send it in to get it fixed yet they wouldn't give me a price point. I'm so frustrated. My machine is only 2 years old, was less than that when it broke several months ago.

    I am ready to toss my new machine! I have an older cameo, and have no real issues. I thought the 4 would be good for auto settings and you're right, I can't get them to work!!! I've watched this video 3 times, my blade is deep enough/the machine cuts, just can't get them to weed, i've tried 14 force, I've tried different settings of material just to test. they all seem to print the same? no matter what i use, cuts, but can't weed it, not cut enough. HELP. Can I send a picture? Video?

    My cameo 4 doesn’t cut-- the cut blade is seated but I have an autoblade. It seems to me to be a software problem. Ive been using cricut and Silhouette for 20 years now and im about done forever! The blade is in correctly, its set on cut, and it simply doesn't cut! Drives me bat$hit crazy. Doesn’t matter if its paper or vinyl it doesn't cut and there seems to be zero help from Silhouette at all! Thanks for your video but it doesn't help me! Maybe the autoblade is the problem, I have even had it cut something thats not on the screen! Had a cricut that used sircutsalot software until cricut decided to make it even more restricted and you can't use cricut expressions to cut off your computer eventhough theres a usb cord.

      @@SilhouetteSchool I don't want to jinx myself but after I texted in frustration, I decided to do an update on my software and since then my cameo 4 has been working today. I also used your advice on the pressure settings, after I cut regular cardstock it wasn't cutting deep enough so instead of increasing cut depth I increased the pressure from 20 to 30. It's so weird in the past I'll cut something it doesn't cut, so I'll unload the cutting mat, and reload and then it cuts the second time. Yesterday it was not cutting at all, despite restarting my computer or turning off my cameo and turning it back on again-- the cutting blade was slamming into the side well off the cutting mat-- it was crazy. So that led me to think I was having a software issue, and so far so good the update worked! Thanks so much for your quick response, I will definitely email you with pictures and more information when this happens again. For like a year it was not cutting the first time, but cutting the second time-- same exact settings. But yesterday it wasn't cutting at all no matter how many times I restarted my computer and my Cameo 4.

    We just bought a cameo 4 pro and let me tell you, I am so highly disappointed with this pile of junk. It doesn't track right while cutting, we have done all 3 of your recommended things on this video and still doesn't cut right. On top of that the Bluetooth will disconnect mid cut ruining the vinyl that is being cut. I can't even believe that I can't just pick up the phone and call someone because they prefer to do things through email. If I ran my business the way silhouette runs theirs I wouldn't have a business. I'm going to send this huge disappointing machine back and go back to my Cameo 3. At least it still works and gives me zero problems!!!!!!
