Changing the blade on a Silhouette Cameo 3 is an important part of maintaining and using this machine. Without a correctly fitted blade, the Cameo 3 won’t be able to cut through materials properly, meaning any projects you create won’t turn out the way you want them to. Thankfully, changing the blade is a relatively simple process that only takes a few minutes.
To get started, unplug your Silhouette Cameo 3 from its power source and lift up the lid on top of the machine. You should see two screws that hold the blade in place – these need to be removed with a Phillips-head screwdriver. Once you’ve removed the screws, carefully pull out the old blade and dispose of it safely.
Now it’s time to fit your new blade. Take your new Silhouette Cameo 3 blade and line up its notch with the grooves inside the machine. Once they’re lined up properly, you can use your screwdriver to put back in the two screws that were holding the old blade in place.
It’s important to note that when tightening these screws, make sure not to over-tighten them as this can cause damage to both your blade and your machine.
Once you’ve done this, close up your machine’s lid and plug it back into its power source. Now you’re ready to test out your newly fitted blade! Make sure you select the correct settings for your material before starting any cutting projects – this will ensure that you get accurate results without damaging either your material or your Silhouette Cameo 3.
Conclusion:
Changing the blade on a Silhouette Cameo 3 is easy once you know how! All it takes is a few minutes of unscrewing and fitting before you can start using your new blade for cutting projects. Make sure not to over-tighten any screws when fitting in the new one and always select appropriate settings for whatever material or project you’re working on.
