You are the best truly! Your information is always so valuable. Mistakes are important so solutions are found. Thank you!
You are welcome!
I appreciate you showing this. I think im going with the juliet instead.
Would using a brayer to roll over help it stick better? Will putting tape at bottom edge help keep the ends down?
Yes, both can help.
If you are using it to cut multiple sheets at the same time, you have to tape the corners. A single sheet does not need tape if the charge is built up, but it would secure it more.
I'll be testing it more soon!
I wonder why they didn’t make the static “protective” sheets the same length or cover the entire electrostatic mat. It is a lot of unused space and it will reduce the chances of being “shocked”
They did. The area under the electrostatic mat is the only place where it builds up the electricity. You can touch around it..... the only time you would get shocked is if you didn't have the protective mat on it and turned the bed on, then touched that specific area.
Make sure when you lay down the protective mat, you verify direction! One side is longer just a bit than the other -- you want it to fit between the rollers and it will cover the entire ES field "mesh".
@@SirRonmit yes - this was one reason they had the issue at Summit. The ES Protective sheet had a corner bent from not being on the bed properly. I covered it in my new video too!

With this static mat, does it have any medical warning with folks who have pacemaker implants and the electric charge?
I'd always recommend checking with your doctor, but we did ask this question.

no different than not getting good contact with a sticky mat
Yes. A lot different. No curling, no tearing and great for thin delicate materials.
sorry I was trying say that the little mishap at the end of cutting happens with sticky mats too, so no big deal. every piece of equipement has a learning curve and the potential for things to goo wrong on occasion, as for the new technology I cant wait to try it!
What will happen I’d you have your depth too deep and it cuts thru that static sheet? Sparks?!
It will be difficult to cut through it, it's built to withstand it. Not impossible, but if you damage the bed, you'll need to replace it. I don't think it will spark, but your project will be lost.
Thanks El. So much to learn
You are welcome!
So excited to try mine out! Have you done a print and cut with the es mat?
@@PoshPaperPerfection yes. Here's my full playlist on the ES bed.
ua-cam.com/play/PLtZDFYSJhbL1kCXgIH0pXHyzzyniyAUau.html&si=OMqoRFcdKLPqUuGl
Keep in mind that videos in general for the ES bed will work on all models it's compatible with. For instance, one video shows Print and Cut with the Curio 2, the same can be done on the Cameo 5 & Portrait 4 ES bed.
@@PoshPaperPerfection the only thing that can't be done the same as the Curio 2 on the ES bed is use a cutting mat on top. Since the Cameo & Portrait are roll through machines. But that's not necessary. Just disconnect the ES bed if you want to use a mat.
@@SilhouetteSecrets thank you! You are awesome!
@@PoshPaperPerfection You are welcome!
Can’t wait see you demo when you get your own
I have lots of ideas! 😍
What’s the thickest cards stock used on this?
It blank happens at the worst time usually 😊. But i would buy it just for the static matt alone.❤
Will it work with fabric???
No. It has to be able to maintain a charge between the bed and material being cut. Fabric won't hold that charge... here's a little more information - ua-cam.com/video/EQGc1JZv6kI/v-deo.htmlsi=KsTOShaipZDf8JKL
Thanks for the informative video. Do you know if you can do matless cutting and embossing on cardstock still? Also, does it still have a USB connection? I'm a bit of a luddite when it comes to technology and I like a good old wired connection, especulially as I plan on using it with a desktop computer.
Yes, it can still cut matless.
If cutting through a material, you would need to use the pop out feature.
Embossing needs to be used with the embossing mat.
Yes, you can connect by usb cord. However, there is not a USB cord in the box. You have to provide it.
@@SilhouetteSecrets Thank you for such a promt reply. I'm still waiting for them to arrive in the UK. Can't wait!
Could you hold the corners of your paper down with washi tape?
Yes, that's an option to. If you are cutting completely through a material, I would suggest you use more tape than just on the corners.
If you subscribe to getting the autoblade and new sticky mat with Cameo 3, but want to replace the 3 with this machine, can you then get the blades and mats needed for this machine through that subscription? Thanks!
You would need to look at your Silhouette Club account on the Silhouetteamerica.com and see if you can change those allotments. If not, then I'd recommend contacting Silhouette Support and ask how you do that. I know there are options when you join Silhouette Club, so there should be a way to change it.
@@SilhouetteSecrets Thank you!
@@aspirecan4829 you are welcome!
Can you tape down a corner if you notice it’s bent ?
You can try, but no guarantees it will work and maintain the charge.
If you are using the ES Bed for the Cameo 5, make sure you have the protective sheet on the bed correctly. It is directional. One way it will get caught in the rollers and bend the corner.
It fits one direction only.
Please tell us they have rewritten and optimised the software too? Soo many simple fixes and improvements they can make.
The only software updates mentioned at Summit were on the Silhouette Go app. The Silhouette Studio software will be updated in order to support the new machines. As soon as I have my machines and can test it, I will know more and be reporting any issues directly to Silhouette as I do normally.
Thank you for sharing your experience and expertise!
I have been trying to cut flower designs from freezer paper and the petals and parts that have been cut away are losing its grip to the electrostatic mat and sit on top the paper. Any idea what to do for that? I’ve looked for troubleshooting help but it’s so newly on the market there aren’t any!
Keep in mind that the smaller the surface area for it to hold a charge, parts will move ua-cam.com/video/HENWVeOH7lA/v-deo.htmlsi=GrlIK6L3NuGVtJIR
More tips
silhouette-secrets.com/2023/12/10/silhouette-electrostatic-es-bed-tips/
I love silhouette software but I don’t think the machines are improving and I’m actually quite put off by seeing things like this happen with the new innovations, it doesn’t give me confidence that the product is up to scratch! I’m also quite disappointed that silhouette keep discontinuing products ( which is fine it’s technology) but they say support will remain but they stop making all the consumables for previous models so then they are landfill products as you can’t use without mats and blades. My hand was being forced to buy a new but I’m not convinced that these are up to scratch
The only machine and supplies that has been discontinued is the Curio 1. It is still supported on the software, so users can still use it and access any Silhouette machine model they own.
They are one of the only companies that continues to support and allow users to use older models. They don't brick the machine like other companies might.
The Curio 1 was manufactured for almost 10 years - that is a long time for any machine model.
I have other videos with success with the new machines since the release. The particular video you are watching was at the Summit demo and the very first look by all, even some of the demonstrators.
But it is not for everyone..... the new ES beds are pretty cool though.
@@SilhouetteSecrets that’s the machine I have 🥲, it’s ok having support though the software but without the supplies/consumables it’s not useable. Support would be continuing to offer the supplies, but just no longer making the machine itself for purchase. I now don’t know what to do with it I’ve contacted the company for comment but no response and the new curio hasn’t really improved in fact it doesn’t offer as wide an opening anymore or have much uniqueness to the other machines. I understand you’re just promoting the products but I’m just not impressed. I think my machine will be on eBay later
@SammieCrafts my job isn't to convince you or any other user or to promote the products. I use the products, and I teach users how to use the products. It is not for everyone. You are correct. The new Curio 2 is completely different from the previous model. There are some things it does not do that the Curio 1 did. However, Curio 2 actually has the most clearance on any machine at 20 mm and a bed of 12" x 12". But it is different than the old Curio 1 in many aspects.
I also understand a bit about how the manufacturing process works. The machine & supplies manufactured for it are over 10 years old. There is not a large enough customer base for the Curio 1 to dedicate a manufacturing plant, machines, staff, and sourcing materials to a minimal number of users. In order to do so, the costs are extreme, and all supplies would need to increase in price to cover just the costs to continue manufacturing. This is the way for all manufacturing, not just Silhouette. The fact that they manufactured it for so long was unusual.
Many Curio 1 users are sourcing alternatives when they run out.
@@SilhouetteSecrets unfortunately I can’t find any alternative supplies, but I’m not in America you see. If you’re aware of alternatives though I would be grateful for links to look at them as I’m really stuck not knowing what to do with it now, I wasn’t aware of it being discontinued till now otherwise I’d have got more supplies. It may be that if the alternatives are only America import would make them not worth it, but I hate throwing things away because accessories are no longer made it’s what bugs me with a lot of crafting machines and just wish the consumer would be thought of a little more. I understand what you’re trying to say about things but I’m sure that the mats could be made along side the other machines mats it’s only a matter of what size for each machine and clips. I don’t think the cost of manufacturing those would actually be that high. There has to be a better way that companies can make new machine models but have more of a continuum so that the accessories/the consumables parts don’t become the issue in them becoming obsolete!
What size is the mat 12x24?
The electrostatic bed is a 12" x 12" cuttable space. That is the largest. The entire bed is a bit larger, but the cuttable space is 12" square.
Will it work with light fabrics?
The Electrostatic mat - no, most likely not because it has to be a completely flat, smooth surface to create the charge to hold it in place.
Is the ES mat compatible to cameo 4?
No. It is not backward compatible because the older models do not have the technology built into the machine to power or connect to the new tools.
Did you get yours yet to touch it and see if it feels like 9V battery? LOL
I touched it at Summit, and it was the same or less. It's not harmful.
Um “stick ur tongue to a battery”… why would u… um never mind i just remembered people swallowing tide pods.. got it…
I'm not talking about a car battery..... a 9v battery. It's to test if it has juice.
Sorry but not convinced yet.
No worries... my job isn't to convince you, just share what we saw at the Silhouette Summit. Happy crafting!
minuto 4:06 el desastre jajajajajjaajaj
😂🤣😂🤣😂
very dangerous machine..
