Cameo 4 or Cameo 5 Alpha?

Hello! 😊

For those who previously had a Cameo 4 and upgraded to the Cameo 5 Alpha, did you notice a significant improvement?

Was the upgrade worth it for you? I’m also planning to get the Cameo 5 Alpha, but one of my concerns is that I’ve heard the pinch rollers can be prone to getting damaged. Is that actually an issue, or does it mostly depend on how the machine is used and maintained?

Cameo 5 alpha not working anymore after 5 Cuts

Hi all, I have bought a new Cameo 5 Alpha from Amazon half a year ago, and after purchase, I Print & Cut around 5 sheets of 320 gsm laminated paper. All worked really well, and then I had to put the machine away due to ... life. Now, after half a year, I pulled out the well-stored machine and tried to print and cut the same material with the same settings.

Unfortunately, the auto blade is not setting automatically anymore. It clicks, but the red line is not moving at all. I tried everything from the standard troubleshooting video...

Reboot

Turning off the machine

Cleaning the autoblade

Opening and cleaning inside the autoblade

Moving the carrier gently 3 times back and forth

Cleaning the slit where the autoblade is setting up

--> Note: I can set the autoblade manually quite easily as usual, and I can reset it to the default position as well by hand

Anyone had the same issue? It looks like the machine is not pushing hard enough when setting the blade...

Cameo 5

Hi, I'm new to crafting and been doing some researches about the cutting machines. Cameo 5 caught my attention but it seems not to be available.

I would appreciate any guidance on where to look and all that. Thank you

New and frustrated - ESD mat and sticky mat same problem

Coming from a Brother machine; new to silhouette cameo 5a. Pattern is 7 rows by 7 columns 1-1/2 inch square with one diagonal on each one. Horizontal and vertical lines cut properly. The diagonal never cuts correctly on either the sticky mat or the ESD mat. Photos are (1) pattern, (2) settings (3) ESD before start (4) ESD after paper added (5) Video of failure.

I'm sure it's a setting but don't know which one??

Can't seem to add another photo, but cutting on the sticky mat pulls up the corners and leaves some areas not cut at all.

Paramètres matériau Cameo 5

Bonjour,
Je débute avec la cameo 5, j’ai fait une dizaine d’envois de découpes avec les paramètres papiers cartonné fin / découper / auto lame pour le porte outil 1.

Sur le porte outil 2 je n’ai rien.

Et le logiciel m’indique de sélectionner une action et un outil compatible avec le papier cartonné fin (outil2).

Pourriez-vous m’aider svp à résoudre ce problème car je ne peux plus avancer.
