This is genius and could be use the same way as circuit party foil just more steps since circuit party foil is discontinued

How much did you increase the depth for the second pass

Hi was watching your video and wanted to try it myself but for some reason my machine cuts above and through my design.. Any idea why it may be doing that?

hello, I used blade 10, force 33, but the clear shrink flim didn’t fully cut. Should I change to 2mm blade instead of the original blade? thanks.

You dont put a resin layer to finish them?

@kimmirandaart9909 Жыл бұрын

this is so nice thank you, but how did you manage to get the silhouette to read the material without registration marks?

I also don’t know how to make silhouette read material without registration mark!

Looking at the previous comparison video, I thought Curio would be more suitable for shrink film work. (Because it's a hard material) I am curious now I saw you using portrait. How is it for real use? Is the portrait better to cut the shrink film?

It does cut with the Portrait, but it is a little bit more of a process. The easiest cut I have gotten with shrink plastic is with the Cameo 4 and the kraft blade.

I'm having some trouble running my paper through my machine. I keep getting a error massage saying it cannot register the paper. Any help would be appreciated.

Is the Silhouette having trouble with the registration marks?

Does your ink rub off the plastic when touching cuz mine does. What settings are you using t

@AlexisMiddletonPersiaLou 3 жыл бұрын

I didn't have any issues with the ink rubbing off. What type of printer and shrink plastic are you using?

@kaylanek1 3 жыл бұрын

Ya same. I was using glossy plastic and a normal printer that I connected to my computer with silhouette studio

@mellorin5646 3 жыл бұрын

@@kaylanek1 Did you use the printable kind? Since the normal one shouldn't work I think

@mariadavis6157 3 жыл бұрын

Very beautiful, Did you print directly on the shrink plastic?

@AlexisMiddletonPersiaLou 2 жыл бұрын

Yes!

Do you have to seal this once done? Love your work.

@eveleen18 3 жыл бұрын

I seal the printed side with uv resin

Be careful to use gloves and a respirator with an organic solvent filter when using UV resin. Plenty brands lie about being non-toxic when they're really toxic and quite dangerous for your health.
