Silhouette Cameo 3

April 14, 2018

I love this cutting machine. I was able to make vinyl stickers and label all my equipment with my logo and company name. It doesn't print but it comes with a set of lovely pins that can put into the machine to sketch and cut out whatever I design.
Okay. Let's get into what I didn't like. I couldn't get the Bluetooth function to work. From what I have read online, most people have that problem. It does have a cord that hooks up to the computer. It comes with a free tutorial but it looked like the tutorial was using the previous software. It looks nothing like the current software. That made it very hard to figure out how to use the Silhouette Cameo 3. I had to search YouTube to for a video that had a tutorial of the current software. Without a tutorial, I would have never figured out how to use this machine and would have returned it. It is not intuitive at all and difficult to use if you've never used this type of machine before. It get's four stars instead of five because I had to search the ends of the internet to figure out how to use it.

Not for the faint of heart!!!

This machine can do an amazing variety of jobs. Learning how to make it work is both frustrating and expensive. There are NO instructions included with the bundle. There is NO software. It must be downloaded from the internet and it is NOT user friendly. The users manual must be downloaded and printed at home, all 118 pages of it!! Then one must enroll at Silhouette U. To get the free month, it is necessary to agree to pay for future months of study. The videos from Silhouette U make use of advanced software which is NOT what one gets when they download from the internet. As the chirpy instructor bounces her cursor around to icons I don't have on my computer screen, the frustration mounts. There are literally hundreds of YouTube videos covering nearly every aspect of Silhouette use, some excellent, some awful. I recommend them rather than the Silhouette U.
I regret the investment in a Silhouette and wish I had bought the new Cricut instead.

For the most part, this product does the work, however...

At times, there's a miscommunication and it does not cut on the line. Now I understand that new technologies take time to develop into perfectness and I do not take these beautiful human inventions for granted. Yet, when I pay $1.5-$2 per heat transfer paper that is wasted for this reason, it hurts over time. Still, awesome technology. Much success

Great bundle! Enjoyed getting all the different colors of vinyl. Would be nice if they included some actual instructions though instead of having it all online. This product is fairly easy to use.

For directions go straight to youtube it took some reading and watching before I could actually use this product. Directions in the box would be nice

So excited to get this bundle in the mail. It was giving us a little issues right away, it was saying a registration marks error when we would put the vinyl in. My husband helped me figure it out and have made quite a bit of projects already in just the 2 days we have had it. Hoping that it has worked out all the kinks! Love this machine and can't wait to figure out all the cool things I can make with it.
