Silhouette PEN-HOLDER2-3T Pen Holder

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.

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.

Worked great for using gel pens to write out addresses on envelopes for wedding invitations!

Found I am able to use about 80 percent of my markers with this.

este accesorio es muy útil para poder usar cualquier tipo de bolígrafo o marcador, se adapta a la mayoría

Great

I hope my Cameo 4 users find this comment. This adapter does in fact work with Cameo 4. You must use the blue adapter that comes with your machine with this. I saw a lot of reviews that it does not work but it does!
