How Do I Use the Pen Holder on My Silhouette Cameo 3?

The Silhouette Cameo 3 is an essential tool for any crafter or artist. It’s the perfect machine for cutting and designing intricate shapes and patterns with precision and accuracy.

One of the most useful features of the Silhouette Cameo 3 is its pen holder, which allows you to use a variety of pens to draw or write directly onto your projects. Using the pen holder on your Silhouette Cameo 3 is relatively easy, but there are a few steps you need to take in order to ensure that it works correctly.

The first step to using the pen holder is to make sure that your machine is set up properly. This includes ensuring that your blade depth is set correctly and that your cutting mat is securely attached. You should also make sure that you have selected the correct type of pen from the Silhouette Studio software.

Once you have ensured that everything is in place, it’s time to attach your pen holder to the machine. The pen holder should be placed on top of the left-hand side pressure strip and then secured with one screw. Once it’s in place, you can insert your chosen pen into the holder.

Using The Pen Holder

Once your pen holder is attached and ready to go, you can begin using it on your projects. To do this, select a design or shape in Silhouette Studio and then click “Send”. This will send the design over to your Silhouette Cameo 3 where it will be ready for cutting or drawing.

When selecting a design for drawing with the pen holder, make sure that you select one which has no cut lines as these will not be used when drawing with a pen. If there are cut lines present, they will need to be removed from the design before sending it over.

Once you have sent over a design for drawing with the penholder, press “Play” on your Silhouette Cameo 3 and watch as it follows along each line of your design with its chosen pen. When finished, simply remove any remaining pieces from around your project before admiring its perfect finish.

Conclusion

Using a penholder on the Silhouette Cameo 3 is easy once you know how! Just ensure that everything is set up correctly before attaching and using it on designs without any cut lines present. With practice, you’ll soon be creating beautiful projects with ease!
