Silhouette Cameo Pen Holder 2 with 3 Threaded Adapters - 1 Pack

Good purchase. The smallest size works with a standard Pilot stick pen, if that helps anyone decide. The BPS Fine made a beautiful, even, thin line. A Sharpie will start to go into the largest barrel, but it will not write because the tip of the marker won't go far enough down. These are good for what they're designed to do. You do not want to lose the tiny cap that sets the pen depth. My Silhouette is a Cameo 2.

I bought this a few weeks ago and absolutely love it. I have tested it with thin markers, standard ballpoint pens, Pilot G2 pens (they have a rubber grip), and even a standard Sharpie. The holder comes with three different chucks, for lack of a better word, in small, medium, and large. You slip the pen into the appropriately-sized chuck, slide the pen into the holder until it touches the cap on the other end, then screw it in. When you screw it in, the 'fingers' tighten around the pen for stability. Insert into the machine's tool holder and sketch away! I use this to draw my standard bullet journal pages then glue-stick the pages into the journal. They come out perfect every time. If you're using multiple colors it is a bit tedious to remove the tool, unscrew the chuck, remove pen, insert next pen and align, secure chuck, and reinsert into the machine. That's not such a big deal when you consider you can use almost any pen of any size and you're not locked into using the stubby pens that Silhouette sells. The Silhouette pens are definitely easier to swap out - remove color A, insert color B - but I'm not sure how much ink is really in those and when you consider that you can buy a box of 60 stick pens for $5 from Amazon and the Silhouette sketch pens are a little over $1 each (based on MSRP of $19.99 for the 18-pen starter pack) it's a no-brainer that this accessory will pay for itself pretty easily.

The Silhouette Pen Holder has been a fantastic addition to my setup, letting me switch up my projects by using different types of pens in my Cameo. I’ve enjoyed testing out a range of ink and marker types for more custom designs that go beyond regular cutting. The holder is easy to adjust, fits securely, and has allowed me to personalize everything from cards to labels. It’s a simple but effective way to add versatility to my Silhouette machine, and I’m glad to have it in my toolkit!

It works with my silhouette Cameo 4, it fits with the blue insert. I have to learn how to work with the different sizes and shapes of the pens I have but I did try all of the different sizes and shapes and they all fit in the insert. I have to learn the correct placement of the pens due to different length on the tips. My microns have longer tips then the regular Bic, pentel, paper mate, and uni ball pens. All very different shapes and sizes yet they all fit, just have to figure out the correct placement of the pens but the adapter absolutely works, I recommend it.

this does NOT fit the newest Cameo 5. I searched specifically for the pen holder for the 5 and this came up. DONT PURCHASE IF YOU HAVE A CAMEO 5. It also does not have a clear cap which tells you if you have the pen far enough into the holder. I had these and used them on my original cameo and they worked fine. you just have to choose the right pen width and hope you have the pen in far enough

I would highly recommend reading the directions. I had a hard time figuring out how to put the pen in properly. Did watch YouTube and figured it out. You will need to play around with the force and how far in you put the pen. I have ruined a couple of marker tips from high force. Start with 1 for force...you'll probably be okay.

Best investment for my new Silhouette Cameo yet. This little kit allows you to use your own pens in the machine vs the Silhouette branded pens that run out of ink rather quickly. This means you can use Sharpies! And gel pens! It comes with three different 'sizes' to hold different pens - S, M, and L. It's a little difficult to keep track of these little guys, but I just throw them into a little plastic bag to keep them together. One tip - there's a tiny 'cap' that goes on the piece that actually fits into the cameo. I thought it was rather pointless, at first, but it's actually how you're supposed to make sure the tip of the pen is at the perfect height to write. Leave that cap on and push the pen down until the tip of the pen touches that cap. If you don't do this, the pen might smear if it's too low!

I've had my Cameo for a few years and never tried any writing with it. I got some good Pentel gel pens and I'm stunned at how easy this tool makes it to use them in my machine. I also had no idea all the different sketch effects you can do with the silhouette software. LOVE this. Perfect for addressing my wedding envelopes. Can't wait to find other uses for these.

Complemento ideal para el antiguo plotter de plumas Sekonil SPL-450 de más de 30 años. Estos adaptadores me han venido perfectos para bolígrafos tipo Stabilo point 88, BIC grip roller, etc.

Peccato solo che non sia di gomma, così da fissare meglio le penne di vari dimensioni !

Do not buy this if you have a silhouette cameo 4 it doesn't work and it's trash.

This product is a must have if you like to use pens & markers in your crafting! I was able to do delicate font journaling right on my scrapbook paper with 100% satisfaction! I have rheumatoid arthritis and have a very hard time hand writing my own journaling and I don't want to print it out on a little card to add to the layout so this works perfectly, the writing is printed directly on the 12x12 cardstock base and is perfect every time, as long as you use spell check :-). This pen holder fits a multitude of writing instruments so I'm sure you will find it works with whatever you have.

Worked perfectly as I hoped it would
