That looks like a useful product for crafters - any likelihood of it going into production or would it be too expensive?

I was hoping to save for a Cameo3 not so sure now
Annie I agree with Brian the Cameo 3 is a great machine along with the original Cameo and the Cameo 2. It is just with any new machines or upgraded features there can be teething problems.
I remember around this time five years ago the original Cameo had us complaining about the blade as it could not be cleaned out of the card debris. Silhouette redesigned it so the little cap at the bottom could be unscrewed to clean it.
I upgraded too and have had teething problems but that's mainly due to me not doing the right thing and that's usually sorted by the people on this forum. I am glad I upgraded, keep on saving!
I'm so glad that I came across this thread! I've been saving for a Cameo 3 and had been put off by the bad feedback.
Having read the last few posts in particular, and seeing that you we have a goldmine of support here, I think I'll stick with saving for the 3 ^_^
Pleased it's been of help to you daisychain
I bought Cameo 3 a few weeks ago and I am pulling my hair out as I just can’t get the blade to cut. I have tried all suggestions given on various sites. Hope someone can help.
Having read all of the comments here I am now wondering if I should buy a different blade.
Thanks
Mary
Have you checked to see if the point of the blade has broken off other than that if you've tried everything else would contact Graphtec to see what they suggest 01978 666700
Sorry Neries I replied to you earlier but my post has disappeared.
Yes the blade is firmly in place and I can see the green dot. When the machine starts the cutting process it makes a loud clack clack noise then the carriage moves from side to side by doesn’t cut.
Any advice will be gratefully received.
Mary have you taken the blade out when it has finished trying to cut and check if the red line has moved at all from the rest position so the blade is showing?
Mine does make noises when it starts but it is the same one as when the cutting mat is loaded. If you think the carriage is making noises it should not you really need to do as Doreen suggests and contact Graphtec GB. They are really helpful, especially Brian. If you can't phone them email them. sales@graphtecgb.com
Are you hearing a tapping noise as the blade self adjusts ? If the carriage just move from one side and back to the other are you sure that you have cut lines selected ?
Yes to all of the above. Brian is out of the office until Monday so I will contact him then.
BTW when I logged onto Graphtec to buy the Cameo I was redirected to another site so I assumed wrongly as it turns out that Graphtec had changed names.
