I highly recommend the Silhouette Curio 2 Debris Tray if you plan to engrave, punch, leather carve, or emboss. Some powered tools require the Curio 2 Debris Tray to function properly. If you try to “trick” the machine, it will sort of freak out and act like you have broken it. However, it can be reset with a full shut down and then should function again properly. The Silhouette Studio programming for the Silhouette Curio 2 tools does not allow for certain uses without the Curio Debris Tray.
