How Do You Load AutoBlade on Silhouette Cameo 3?

Loading AutoBlade in Silhouette Cameo 3

The Silhouette Cameo 3 is a cutting machine that utilizes a small blade to cut and draw materials like paper, vinyl, fabric, and more. The AutoBlade feature is one of the most useful features of the machine as it gives users the ability to automatically adjust the blade depth with each material they use. This makes it easier for them to get accurate cuts without having to manually adjust each time.

To properly load the AutoBlade onto your Silhouette Cameo 3, you will need to first unplug the machine from power. Next, you will need to locate and remove the blade holder from your machine by pressing down on either side of the blade holder and lifting it out.

Once removed, you can take off any existing blades and replace them with the AutoBlade. To do this, turn the blade so that its arrow points towards the back of your machine, then slide it into place until it clicks securely into position.

Once your AutoBlade is installed, you can now connect your Silhouette Cameo 3 back to power and turn on your machine. It should automatically recognize that an AutoBlade has been installed.

To confirm this has been done correctly, select “Tools” from your Silhouette Studio menu bar followed by “AutoBlade” in the drop-down menu that appears after clicking on “Tools”. A window should appear which will show you if an AutoBlade has been loaded or not.

You can now adjust your cutting settings as per usual but instead of manually selecting a blade depth as before, you can simply select a material type from “Materials” in your Silhouette Studio menu bar and let your AutoBlade do all the work for you!

In conclusion, loading AutoBlade on Silhouette Cameo 3 is quite easy when following these steps – unplugging power from machine; removing existing blades; inserting new AutoBlade; turning on power; confirming installation through Tools/Auto Blade menu; adjusting cutting settings with material selection in Materials menu bar; and letting AutoBlade do its job!
