This is great! I would have liked to see more of the business-side of it, as the title suggests.. plus the cookie cutter actually being used would be nice. Thanks for the video!
I looked around and wow... custom name cookie cutters are about $6.50 - $10.00 each! So this is an exceptionally good video. I would imagine you could used method & process to also create craft stamps, if you were using a flexible Pla filament?
Another way to make money from home with your printer is to make sandals and shoes, ideally from plastic garbage ground and melted into printing filament. Does anyone know of a printer, material and design combo you could recommend for this (ideally with a grinder to recycle materials back into filament)? Thx Also, as someone born with bilateral severely clubbed feet, I think everyone with clubbed feet and everyone else needing orthopedic custom inserts and shoes (and all disabled, amputee, etc people) should have a 3D printer (or access to someone offering printing service) to be able to prototype ideas and print corrective shoes, sandals and inserts with almost zero cost.
Hello thank you very much for your great tutorial, I was about to sell my Laser 3D printer but you just gave me an amazing idea that will pay off my printer in no time. Also I wanted to ask you, which filament are you using? For the cookies cutter PLA or ABS. Cheers! David
Question on making crisp/sharp outset Text outline. Is there a way to do this in Inkscape? turn off fill and use a stroke of .300, then duplicate it.. Then I use Offset and the offset outline looks cartoonish.. is there a way to get more sharp/crisp looking offset?
Hey Do It..Thanks so much.. that is pretty much the solution..AWESOME! ..I'm trying to create names.. so in some cases.. like that with names that are over 4 to 5 letters.. you have do some other things.. like kerning the letter spacing..but.. your solution works great!
You purposefully make them disposable? I had been considering making cookie cutters, but the food-safeness of 3d printed objects was a huge concern for me. I even considered buying food-grade epoxy resin to coat the prints in so that they would last longer. But you would suggest not doing that?
Tracey Mo, i had heard of filament made of food-grade materials, but one of the biggest concerns for me regarding the food safety of a 3d print is the micro-cracks between layers and print lines. the plastic itself may be safe, but if there are any gaps between layers of plastic (which are bound to happen), then food particles and moisture can gather, providing an excellent space for bacteria and/or mold to grow.
hey i need help.. i 3d print my cookie cutter but there is that gap in the cutter blade that cuts the cookie. i already set my setting to 100% infill but still it has that gap... how do you make solid 3d print in the blade area of the cookie cutter?
Hello! I use 2 Inkscape drawings and group them together in Tinkercad after I have extruded them to their desired height. Both pieces should come out solid. I hope this helps!

Good breakdown of the Inkscape process. I'm just learning some of that, and I've not done much with layers.
Finally someone who shows something and not just stand and blah blah blah us to death btw what model printer do you have?
I have a CR-10 and a Monoprice Mini. I would recommend the CR-10 if you have the budget.
Made my first design in 20 minutes! Awesome video!!!
Inkscape is a great program. There is definitely a learning curve, but well worth the investment of time.

Thanks I've been thinking of purchasing a printer to start a home business.
Outstanding job sir!
This is a very good video...thanks so much..
Cool video, you make it look easy!
Awesome ! Thanks.

Great video obviously
Hiya, is it possible to add a logo or a text on the side of the cookie cutter?

Hey! I use PLA filament. Glad the video helped! Thanks for watching!

What has worked for me is enlarging everything before the offset, then scaling both down to the desired size. I hope this helps!

Jayce Evans did u get an answer?
Tracey Mo, not yet
I did more research and you can get food safe filament.😉

Jayce Evans ahh... very good concern. I did see someone coating with the epoxy as well. Geesh just when u think u have a good idea!
Do you have to worry about the plastics being food safe?
Scroll down to the comment thread started by Jayce Evans. Some discussion there about your question 🙂

What do you charge?
Depends on how intricate the design. Usually $3-5 per cutter.
id like to point out I tried this and it's only been an hour and I may have 2 customers already XD DO THIS!!!!
That's a cookie for 3 persons ! lol
