Hello mdb,

 

You can create a new material and name it Oramask 810 or whatever. In the area where the settings are, click "MORE". At the bottom of the list are + and - signs, click +. You can make settings and then save them for future selection.

 

I've used 810 and I'm also using Artool Ultramask. 

 

AutoBlade

Depth 2

Force 6

Speed 5

Passes 1

Accel. 1

I also found one other problem why i didnt get a cut

My cutting tool is missing its tip so new underway.

Hmmm, that sounds strange. Are you sure? What kind of blade?

 

I'm adding some photos here. Two of the photos point out something I did with my first attempts to cut masks which left the appearance of not cutting.

 

1. This is an AutoBlade and the little tool will loosen or tighten the bottom of the blade housing. It's useful to clean out little bits that might become stuck inside the blade. When you take the end off the AutoBlade housing, the blade is visible.

 

 

2. If you're not using an AutoBlade for Cameo 4, you will have to manually set the depth of the blade.

 

3. The 'handle' that I have hold of, is the latch for the blade. Note that looking in the small hole in the first picture it is black and in the second picture it is green. Green means it is latched. The first couple cut attempts, I didn't realize this is a latch and when the machine did it's thing for setting the blade depth, it just pushed the blade upward and the blade barely touched the mask material.

 

 

4. something else to point out, the AutoBlade movement in total is 1mm. That means each depth setting 1,2,3, etc. is adjusting the depth by 0.1mm or 0.004".

Hats off to you, Dave, for that in-depth advice!!!👍  Nicely done.

 

mdb - checking that the blade is fully down and locked, as Dave explained, seems pretty basic  ... but I've suggested doing that more than once in  my small hobby group.

Sorry I can’t help in this discussion, my Cameo 2 is old school so the blade is set manually……sometimes less is more methinks! Hope you get it sorted soon Mdb. Keep us posted please.
