Hello all,
My birthday has a come a couple of weeks or so early this year. - Chris has bought me a Silhouette Cameo cutter and because it arrived and the warranty is now running she decided to let me get my hands on it early.
I am not sure if I should place this here in CAD Corner or along side my workbenches but I wanted to record my beginner's efforts in this field away from my build threads.
So far I have unpacked and plugged it in run through the set up and updated the Silhouette Studio software package that I had previously installed without doing anything with it beyond opening it initially.
I have also started to read through the following threads on RMweb.
http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/in...a-guide-to-using-the-silhouette-cameo-cutter/
I am currently up to page 17 of 45
The other thread that I have viewed is the tutorial by Mike Trice on using InkScape - another package that I had downloaded in anticipation some time ago.
http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/in...n-to-using-inkscape-to-produce-cutting-files/
The first few pages of Jason's Silhouette guide list places to get alternate blade holders and significantly cheaper blades which I have ordered and expect in the next couple of weeks or months - they are from China via eBay.....
My plan is to create wagons and coaches bodies using the cutter but I will no doubt move on to buildings when I get to re-starting on the layout at Christmas.
