'Hidden' Features on the Silhouette Cameo 4.

Just a quick video to show some of the overlooked parts of the Silhouette Cameo 4 cutter. Roll holder, hidden storage compartment, loosening and opening the autoblade, moving the cutting head, and using the built-in straight edge cutter.

Very nice video. No fluff, just info. Thanks.

I've had my cameo4 for a week now and wondered what the left side was for. Never knew there was a box in there. I have now kept my tool opener in it.

Did not know about the little storage area on the left side. I've had my Cameo 4 for over 18 mos. Thanks!

I have had my silhouette for over 2 years and never knew about that silly little compartment on the left! lol rest of info was informative. thank you.

I've had my Cameo 4 for more than a week and have been using it every single day, but I didn't know about the darn little door!! Thank you!

I know this is an older post, but: your info is GREAT! Others out there are telling people that the "Camera" / Optical sensor is used to adjusting the blade by tapping "into" it. I'm new and just got my Cameo 4 (I'm coming in from a 42" US Cutter and multiple 3D Printers), and found your video answered all the questions I had since getting the machine yesterday. I thought I "broke" my blade as it went from 5 down to 0 while playing around, then realized it CLICKED and the numbers moved : your video was perfect and I wished I had seen it yesterday instead of "freaking" out thinking I broke the blade already, LOL!!! I did notice that the vinyl almost "clicks" or "fits" between those 2 guide lines at 0 & 12 (but I definitely will be looking for that 3D print and make one here to test). Keep up the good work!

Omg I am so happy about the door! But also sad because it’s too close to a railing I have by my table (I have the pro, so not much room to spare).

I have been using my machine a year, a Cricut refugee, and I missed the compartment the Cricut maker has. So glad you showed me this feature.

thank you, I have been using cameo 4 since 2021 but I have learned many things from your video. Kudos!

[agwoot]

Very helpful thanks, had no idea about the storage compartment!

[StrawberryDragon]

Richard, I like to know how things work and why. I appreciate your explanations! Thank you.

[LexLaptopCoffee]

Just got my Cameo 4 today, the secret compartment holds my extra autoblade nicely. Thanks!

[joannethompson]

Thank you, like others have said, you have shown me things on my new Silhouette that no one else has mentioned in other videos that I have watched, on my search for tips and no hows.

FYI the hole to the left of the mat is also used to adjust the ratchet blade that cannot be set automatically. Some people prefer to use the ratchet blade instead of the auto blade.

I thought there was a storage on the left but couldn’t open it…if I wasn’t so tired I’d go up and try it! I haven’t used the vinyl holder because my rolls are 3’ long!

[krisbedphotography]

All these steps worked for me. Thank you so much.

[kathykeeperofcrafts]

So glad I came across your video. Couple things I had no idea about, others were clarified so much better. Thanks

[judybailey]

Thank you. I had no idea on a lot of this

[mrbanks]

I've had this thing since the day it was released, and I never knew about that side compartment.
