Blade holder adapter for Silhouette Cameo 4

thingiverse

With this adapter you can use a common "Roland" blade holder in your Cameo 4 (see picture). Holder dimensions: diameter = 11.5 mm, length = 28 mm (blade outlet to ring). I prefer this type of blades more than the ones used with the CB09, as you can easily pop them out of the holder for cleaning, without dismantling/unscrew the holder. Why not use the original Silhouette blades? (1) Original blades are quite expensive while not lasting longer than the "no-name" ones (I personally think that the 'no-name' holder and these blades work even better) (2) You cannot just replace the Silhouette blade, you need to dispost the whole "plastic thing" (3) The alternative adapter holds blades with 30° / 45° / 60° (you gain more choice for different material) Please remember that the blade will not be detected automatically, and you will need choose the type manually in your cutting software (e.g. I use 'ratchet blade' in Silhouette Studio). Also any adjustments to cutting depth of the blade needs to be made by hand.
