Silhouette 3.

[PRINCESSRUTH2]

How are you all getting on with Solhouette3? Can you tell me about it please and the things you have made. Are you enjoying it? Which machine did you have before? Why did you upgrade?

[Shirley Anne]

I absolutely love my Cameo 3, I upgraded from the original Cameo. I really like the autoblade although I know some people have had problems. I also like the fact that you have the dual carriage so you can use two tools and if I want to use it with my laptop then I can use Bluetooth although there again people have had problems connecting - I guess I have been lucky as I haven't had any problems apart from trying to connect to my PC using a Bluetooth dongle and that just wouldn't work but the problem seemed to be with the drivers for the dongle as it kept coming up with an installation error, so with the PC I connect via USB. You can also use the deep cut blade so I have cut lots of different stuff, card, vinyl, fun foam etc.

I love my Cameo 3 too especially the auto blade and the dual carriage. I also upgraded from the original Cameo and no regrets.

The only problem I had with the auto blade was even after cleaning some card debris did stop it auto changing blade settings. I sent it to Graphtec and Brian found when he dismantled it there was some card debris caused the problem and the blade has a small chip in it. Using it for plain and simple cutting now.

I am loving the new cameo 3. I used to have cameo 2 but I swapped to the cricut as the noise on the cameo was getting to much for me but I soon found out you can't beat the software that comes with the cameo and the fact that you don't have to rely on an internet connection all the time. So far I have had no problems apart from the fact that if I connect via Bluetooth it sends the machine crazy and does alsorts of random things, I am not to worried about that as it works perfect with the USB cable and I don't mind having it plugged in. I am now prepared to put up with the noise because I just love the machine and software. I make cards mainly and I like to design them in studio. The dual carriageway is excellent for me as I use pens a lot. The auto blade has so far been excellent for me, I do have to make a few adjustments sometimes but once you know what settings you need for your card it's pretty straight forward. I also have the pixscan mat I have no problems with that and it's a great tool for when I want to cut out any stamping I have done. The print and cut also works really well for me. Yes it is still noisy but hey hooo I guess you can't have everything. Some cards I made with the new cameo 3.

There was an issue some time ago but it has been resolved and I don't get any warning messages any more. What browser are you using ?

[AndiDee]

I get the warning on both Firefox and Opera, but not on MS Edge. There may still be an issue somewhere that some browsers aren't happy with. All my browsers are up to date, as is my virus software and firewall. I never use IE but I'm guessing it would be fine as it is a MS product.

I believe I read IE is no longer supported so probably not a good idea to use it I haven't used it for years

[Shirley Anne]

I am using the latest Firefox but don't get a warning - what exactly does it say ?

[BowBow]

I've never had a warning. Using Firefox on a Mac.

Thanks Stella, not like last time then when the message was the site had been hacked. I always look for the https when buying anything as I know it means the site is encrypted and secure otherwise I don't worry.
