TO USE
To fit a pen into the holder clip the alignment clip onto the holder as shown. There are tabs that fit into the holes on the pen holder. It should remain loosely in place without holding.
Now insert your pen so the nib just touches the small recess inside the alignment clip you just fitted. Once the nib is touching gently tighten down the thumbscrew.
The thumbscrew does not need to be tightened down hard, just enough to grip the pen. Then remove the alignment clip.
Now insert the pen and holder into your machine with the screw facing the front of the machine. Press the semicircle attached until you hear the click. (When removing the penholder, pull the same ‘latch’ gently and then remove the penholder).
DO NOT FORCE THE LATCH. IT SHOULD BE NO HARDER TO LATCH THEN WITH ANY OTHER CAMEO ACCESSORY. IF IT IS STIFF REMOVE THE HOLDER, ADJUST AND REINSERT.
You may need to adjust the material type on your machine to get satisfactory results. Remember to make sure your design is set to ‘sketch’ and your tool is set to ‘pen’ on Design Space. The Cameo 3 does not need much force to write, no more than 2 or 3 should be more than enough.
Importantly, the Pen Holder is partly made from PLA as it is a natural plastic originating from corn starch and is recyclable. For these reasons it does not like extreme heat.
Please don’t leave it in the sun, on a hot windowsill, on or near a radiator or anywhere else with a lot of heat.
This accessory is not a toy. Please keep away from children and animals. PLA can be sharp if broken.
NEVER TRY AND ADJUST THE SCREW WHILE THE HOLDER IS IN YOUR MACHINE. YOU WILL DAMAGE YOUR MACHINE. ALWAYS FULLY REMOVE THE HOLDER BEFORE ADJUSTMENT.
Please do not flex the tips by hand. They are designed to move very slightly to accept a pen nib. Forcing a pen body all the way through the tip or flexing them by hand may break them.
Please be aware that despite extensive testing of our products, and our accessories being external to your machine, the use of our compatible penholders will void your machine’s warranty.
