If you already have a machine, don't forget to comment and tell me what sold you on your machine! Or if you plan to buy a machine, what machine are you going with?!
ОтветитьYou are biased towards the maker by adding costs to Cameo by adding a useless pen and extra mat, lmao. The price difference is $100, don't try to make it smaller
ОтветитьAre you able to design in cricut design space and cut with a silhouette?
ОтветитьWhich is best for beginners/hobbyists?
ОтветитьThank you for the video I have the cricut maker I love it but wanted a bigger machine I got the cameo 4 but I love their software but not the machine so much it’s loud and it can’t score like I want it does the cut dash line I don’t like but love the mattless cutting I think I will be doing what you do and make my svg on the silhouette and cutting on my cricut more and using my cameo for the big vinyl cutting wish silhouette had put in a scoring tool
ОтветитьVery informative review. I loved that you weren’t leaning towards just one or the other and actually compared them both. I’m a newbie and just purchased the baby Joy Xtra 😂 hey, I’m just starting out ok! I’ve seen horrible reviews for the Maker 3, so I’m staying away from that one. My sister has a Cricut Explore Air 2 since it came out and she loves it! She says she will use it until it dies before buying another. I think I will go with another Cricut only because DS is much more simpler. I cannot retain information like I used to, so the Silhouette may not be good for me, which is a shame because I was leaning towards that until you said it’s not as easy to learn. I love the features though
ОтветитьIn my opinion I prefer Cricut because it’s quieter than the Cameo 4 and I like that Design Space in my opinion, is easier to use once you get the hang of it!
ОтветитьHi, I want to make stickers and material applications for dresses, what should i get?❤
ОтветитьThe Cameo 4 with the 3mm Kraft blade can cut right through thinner styrene sheet (plasticard) and can score the 1/8" thick stuff deep enough that it will snap on the score line like it should. It makes making wargaming terrain that has a lot of repetitive details much quicker and easier. The 2mm Kraft blade will also get through the thinner styrene. I got the base size Cameo 4 (the 12") because that's really all I need. Most often I'm buying the 7" x 12" sheets sold by Plastruct but I also use the 12" x 24" sheets when I am building an entire new set of terrain because it's more cost effective. with the 12" x 24" cutting mat I can get a lot of styrene parts cut out very quickly and safely. I had tried a laser cutter before that could cut through the material but it often leaves blackened and melted edges, gives off a lot of fumes that will either cause cancer eventually or could possibly create hydrochloric acid in your lungs and there was always the possibility of an errant piece of material reflecting the laser and blinding me. The Cameo 4 cuts the plastic neatly, quickly and safely. I couldn't be happier with it. I had demoed the Cricut at an in-store demo at a JoAnns near me but it just doesn't have the power to even score it well or cleanly.
ОтветитьIm a model builder and someone suggested that i could use this to cut Styrene sheets. do i need a special blade and whats the thickness of Styrene i can cut?
ОтветитьHi I have a question?
I do balloons and balloons backdrop decorations ,I’m currently paying someone to do the (Happy Birthday) sign decal, vinyl etc my question is with cameo how many inches can I go like let’s say I need a sign 16 inch will I be able to do it with cameo?
Silhouette hands down. the Cricut is like that girl you met that has a very specific preferences and it's just an annoyance. vs Cameo 4 is that guy who can just do whatever you want and is chill however you want it to be, it's flexible.
ОтветитьWhen upgrading the software to one of the other versions, is it a one time fee or do you have to pay a monthly or annual fee in order to use the software?
ОтветитьCan you draw your own design and can you drop deign in silloute free or do you need to pay?
ОтветитьYou would be perfect as a Bud Light marketing exec.
ОтветитьU went thru this long ass video and still didn't say who was best waste of fn time
ОтветитьI have the cameo 3 business edition I am thinking getting the cameo 4 do I need to repurchase the business edition if I do get the cameo 4
ОтветитьHello, can someone please help me with my silhouette cutter, please? Are there any experts out there?
Regards,
Phill from Australia
This is the best side-by-side comparison that I've seen. This video helped to reinforce that the Cameo is the right machine for me. I think Cricut is so popular because the company has done a better job of getting machines and other free materials to influencers. I especially like the cutting size of the Cameo. I don't like waste so taking a 12x12 paper and cutting it to 11.5x11.5 on the Cricut would be frustrating. Thank you for showing that you can cut fabric without a stabilizer.
ОтветитьI know I’m late thanking you for a great video but I’ll do it anyway! You are such a great reviewer. Thanks! I have a question, I make puppets and I am in search fo a machine that can help me cut both foam and thicker fleece, called Nylafleece, do you know what I can buy for this purpose? Thanks in advance 🎉
ОтветитьI do not use the drawing functions on my Silhouette since I am a graphic designer and use Illustrator exclusively. The reason I watched this video is I know nothing about the capabilities and functions of a Cricut machine. My take away from this... I made the right decision going the Silhouette route, but your right about the noise hahaha
Aesthetically, I love the look of the Silhouette... imho, it looks more sleek and professional.
starting out great content and explanation i subbed hope you can too. do you have any run disney attire stuff?
ОтветитьCricut’s software “user friendliness” makes it so NOT user friendly. Sounds counterintuitive, I know.
Cricut need an advance user mode to allow owners to work more freely like Silhouette studio imho.
Also love Cameo print and cut feature. And ability to interface with Pepakura directly.
I know it's been 2 years... but the silhouette does cut those cut lines with the rotary blade. It uses those added cut lines to turn the blade to re-adjust for the next cut.
I have three cameo 4's and use them to run my shop. I’ve used my cameo for print and cut illustrated stickers, vinyl die-cut stickers, felt, leather, plastic acetate (not designed to cut that lol), gold foiling with the foil quil, sketching, and used it to cut vinyl. I have also used Cricut and kind of hated it. Shilouette is an overall more versatile machine for the hard-headed DIYer who wants to push the limits and make whatever they want to make. I do feel like they feel a little flimsy comparatively, the Cricut does seem more heavy-duty and less plasticy, but I have put my original Cameo 4 through serious WORK for the last 4ish years and she is just now starting to wear out. So they do hold up. I mean I have run my first Cameo 4 nearly every day, all day, for almost 4 years and she has been fine until last week.
Can you do kiss cut stickers using roll material on the silhouette?
ОтветитьReally appreciate your comparison. It helps a lot..
ОтветитьThey both are pretty mediocre, Vevor machines cut way more accurately.
ОтветитьI started with a Silhouette Portrait because at the time Cricut used cartridges so it was the machine that just kept asking for more money. I stayed with Silhouette because the software didn't require a monthly fee as Cricut does. It's a lot easier to use and you can cut a wide variety of materials. I do have a Cricut Joy and a Cricut Mini Press I am not impressed with the Joy but the mini press is really great.
ОтветитьI bought so far back that you used to have to buy cartridges of images for the cricut, so I went with the Cameo. I've had the original one for years and I love it,
Ответитьcan I use windows 7 on either cameo or cricut. My computer doesn't support windows 10
ОтветитьIf there are multiple items on the mat to cut you can click each one on or off when you are on the send panel, just highlight it and turn off cut so no need to move on and off the mat
ОтветитьThanks
Ответитьhuge beginner question; i was ready to buy a silhouette but realized the only computer i have for home use is my GOV work computer that will not let me add outside items……. So for all these cutters sounds like i’m gonna need a new laptop( with no Gov restrictions) first am i wrong?
ОтветитьCan you make wall stickers with the cameo ?
Thanks for the very informative video.
Glad you don’t have to choose based on the cut quality
ОтветитьHello, Would you be able to help me please?
I have the Silhouette Cameo 4 Plus and am trying to print and cut my Honey Labels but my prints from Silhouette Studio are blurry. Like very blurry that you can't even read the labels.
I designed the labels in Inkscape (SVG) and initially was exporting those into Silhouette Studio as a PNG from 250dpi to 320dpi quality, but everything prints blurry.
I then bought the Business Edition of Silhouette Studio thinking that being able to import SVG would answer my prayers, however they're still printing the same. I even designed a mock up label in Silhouette Studio and it is also printing very blurry. I have tried all of the dpi settings within the Silhouette Studio software and still no luck. Please help!
Do you have any comparisons on the Cricut Maker 3 vs the Silhouette Cameo 4?
ОтветитьMy cricut maker 3 didn't come with anything but the standard blade. I wish it came with all that. I had to buy each one separately and it came new. No pen no rotary blade.
ОтветитьAre you still working in Utah at Silhouette? If so maybe you'll be the one to help me. I am having trouble with customer service getting back to me to help me with my Cameo 4 that is less than a year old, used only 4 times and it now broken. I have emailed 4 times, heard back only once, followed the multi list of things to try, sent in a video and still nothing! I'm extremely frustrated as I wanted to make Christmas presents with it. Any and all help you can give me will be greatly appreciated! As maybe you can expedite things.
ОтветитьThank you....Awesome video
ОтветитьI'm 71 and try to stay techy. I'm only a year ago into the cutting machines, i.e. except I'm a seamstress/designer/inventor. I needed precision cut fabric for my invention and a time saver and thought the Cricut could help – it was great. Well I purchased several including the old machines no longer online but they had this classic look for decorating in the sewing room. Foolish me! I have the Explore 2, Maker, Maker 3 and Joy. I did many tutorials and did not know anything about a rotary tool so I just used another bland, bonded the fabric which is an outdoor type with a heavy nap. I was able to design interesting looks that I could not do by hand, played with the settings on the "Explore 2" and the cuts were great and saved me hours of time. I kept trying to make the design space more computer savvy but I could not maneuver it like I wanted nor did I like losing paper in print and cut. I heard about the Silhouette. It’s tool capability is so scary but what a grand machine for manipulation and power, as I got into it. I purchased a Cameo 2 just to be safe for less than $100 at a thrift store and it works beautiful and the matless was weird although I've paid for smart vinyl from Cricut - I will not buy anymore. I'd rather use the mat especially since Cricut’s print and cut waste so much paper/vinyl. I know that I'll probably us Studio for design and cut many things in Design Space. Great Tutorial and on Point.
ОтветитьQ- I have a new cricut a new cameo 4 and an uS cutter but never used nine.. I know Q☹ Q is can I use any to use on the MK cutter .
ОтветитьThe first ever machine I owned was the Cricut Maker, I bought it not long after it was launched. At the time I thought it was awesome, though I used to get frustrated with the online software, odd occasions when I couldn't use my machine because cricut were running maintenance etc. I then purchased a Brother SDX1200 because I wanted to be able to do bigger print and cuts, and eventually found myself using the brother machine all the time with the cricut just sat there idle. The brother machine did cost considerably more but it was a far more versatile machine. I sold the cricut to help finance another brother machine because of an increased workload, however I discovered quite a serious flaw with the brother machines, their build quality wasn't great, the feed roller system was poorly designed and eventually failed due to wear, brother didn't seem to want to admit that they had not put enough effort into development. I think they were just eager to get to market before cricut could made too much of an impact. Anyway, I then purchased a Cameo 4, and I can honestly say, that out of all 3 of the machines, it is the one that suits me the most. It's definitely the most capable, has the most advanced software and is the cheapest. It is the noisiest, with the brother machine being the quietest, but I can live with that. I've worked it hard and it's more than paid for itself, I just wish I had bought one sooner.
ОтветитьHi, can we auto cut witg cameo 4 ?
Ответитьgood video, it was long but I appreciated the detail you went into, particularly on the software, which is very important to me.
ОтветитьI didnt get a rotary blade :( i bought the maker 3 bundle on their website
ОтветитьGREAT Comparison! Looking at buying a Cameo 4. We have Apple products - iPhone, Macbook, and iPad. Picture formats are different (heic, jpeg). Does the Cameo 4 allow use of those formats when importing pics or designs?
