Your Fusion 360 videos are the best tutorials online! The two cookie cutter tutorials have been very helpful. Perhaps I missed it but I didn't see the original photo inverted as you did with the "BE MINE" text in the other cookie cutter video. I guess since this is just a face it doesn't matter much but imagine for other images it would be necessary to invert in order to get a cookie that matches the original image? Thanks for making such informative videos!

hello Kevin,i am so proud of you.You are really passionate with your work..am still learning your tutorials without loosing passion to know about 3d modelling
Hi! Thanks for this video, I will adopt some of your work flow here. I have been using Adobe Illustrator to create the svg but when I import it in fusion it scale it down, do you know why or how to fix it so it can be imported at original size?
what format did you do the doughnut in so it loaded into fusion without having to be converted to f3d? been trying to make a crawfish mold, but everytime I bring in the stl file and convert it, my mold goes haywire?
hello, thank you for this generous sharing, I am interested in purchasing your course on cookie cutters, my use of the latter will be different, so I have a question .. how can I contact you. thanks in advance
I have no clue what to do. I can turn on my printer but after that I’m lost. I want to make cookie cutters for myself. I have templates that I can hand cut but I want to make them into cutters. Any help I’d appreciate. I’m sorry I’m so ignorant with technology.
Can this be done with any picture? Wanting to do some character cookie cutters for our kids and struggling to get the detail in the middle. They've asked for Mario, Sonic, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and so on.
Hi Craig. For the most part, it can be done with any photo. If you're looking to do those characters I would recommend a Google search of "Sonic the Hedgehog stencil" or similar... that will come up with results that are much easier to convert into an SVG file. Cheers, Kevin :)
Hi, Jacob. That will work with some designs. I originally experimented with mine but the shell command wouldn't work because the imported SVG has too many tiny faces that intersected/folded near itself due to all the spline points.
Hi Bernie. Great point! The only challenge with that route is that you'll often face issues with offsetting/thickening/projecting based on there being too many spline points. At least I did when I tried that with my converted SVG. Ultimately, it depends on the file :)
Nice! I will try to bake the cookies on the build plate ahahah I wonder if more people would be interested in learning how to make archimedean and platonic solids, i think those would be useful as base or building blocks for many projects =), there aren't many tutorials about that, and certainly not this good XD
Hi, thank you for this! I am coming across an error when trying to create the edge. I go to offset the outer edge and I get an error "the sketch offset created no geometry. Modify the offset dimension or verify the changes are correct." Any idea what this means or how to fix this? Thank you!
The problem with all filaments in dishwashers is the temperature (or melting point). Most dishwashers get really hot on the dry cycle, so I would not recommend that. I suggest either washing by hand... or even better (what I do) is simply lay a piece of saran wrap in between the dough and the cutter. With most designs, you can get it to work fine, and then you don't have to clean the cutter or worry about anything touching the plastic crevises :)
@@dalilasamson7160 yeah, I've seen that before and I don't agree with it. The bigger issue at play here is there are a bunch of unknowns and variables. To recommend that to everyone seems misleading and dishonest (IMO) :)
Nice! I haven't tried Molday yet..but's its on my todo list of experiments. I used to cast a lot of objects with Smooth-On brand products..but this would eliminate one of the steps in the mold making process.
@@ProductDesignOnline well as I said, "will be" my favorite since I haven't tried it yet myself due to being a noobie and having major issues with my printer at the moment, but of what I've seen the stuff capable of...I will love it for sure!
You actually don't want a durable cookie cutter. You should consider FDM printed cookie cutters a one batch use cutter. There is just no way you can properly clean all the crevices. It will become a breeding ground for bacteria. Print, use, toss.
Hi Rick. I actually lay down plastic wrap between the cutter and the dough - works perfect and nothing ever touches the cookie cutter. No need to toss them :)

thank you so much i've literally never used fusion 360 before this you singlehandedly taught me the basics
I learned a lot from this channel. Thank you very much!

hello Kevin,i am so proud of you.You are really passionate with your work..am still learning your tutorials without loosing passion to know about 3d modelling
Thanks, ramadan musa! Keep at it and you'll be a 3D modeling pro in no time :)
Exactly what I needed!!
Just what I was looking for, thank you :)
Hahaha 🤣 that is so cool! I will soooo annoy my friends with my narcissistic cookies
Photo2Stencil closed up shop 😕
Darn. First I'm hearing that... Looks like you're right. I appreciate the heads up.
Hi Kevin, the photo2stencil link is not working anymore. Could it be possibly deleted?
Really cool project!

This Is a fun one once again … Thanks for doin this. I use Prusa Filaments

How do you design a cookie cutter with a matching font?
how do you change direction so fast when tracing the outline? i thougth i had to click the vmark. but i see you do it very fast..... is it a trick?
Sorry, trick of video editing :)
I always speed up tedious parts like that or a huge drop-off in views happens...

Could you just extrude the first svg then shell it and cut out the bottom instead creating splines and offsetting?
Hi, Jacob. That will work with some designs. I originally experimented with mine but the shell command wouldn't work because the imported SVG has too many tiny faces that intersected/folded near itself due to all the spline points.
couldnt we just extruder the svg, in the surface workspace, and then use the extruded surface to project to a new sketch?
Hi Bernie. Great point! The only challenge with that route is that you'll often face issues with offsetting/thickening/projecting based on there being too many spline points. At least I did when I tried that with my converted SVG. Ultimately, it depends on the file :)
Does this work with a sla printer too or is the resin not strong enough?
Absolutely. SLA could do some finer details as well.
Nice! I will try to bake the cookies on the build plate ahahah

lol - let me know how those cookies come out ;)
Thanks for the suggestion! I've added it to my video topics list.
I will!
Thanks to you!
Hi, thank you for this! I am coming across an error when trying to create the edge. I go to offset the outer edge and I get an error "the sketch offset created no geometry. Modify the offset dimension or verify the changes are correct." Any idea what this means or how to fix this? Thank you!
That error is typically due to the offset size being too small/large or when the geometry is not selected. Can you share a screenshot of your model?
@@ProductDesignOnline I got frustrated and erased it, lol. I will try again and keep you posted. Thank you for the response!
yum
Is PETG filament dishwasher safe ?

@@ProductDesignOnline ok thanks ! I ask you because I've found a website that propose cookie cutters dishwasher safe : bakerlogy.com/
@@dalilasamson7160 yeah, I've seen that before and I don't agree with it. The bigger issue at play here is there are a bunch of unknowns and variables. To recommend that to everyone seems misleading and dishonest (IMO) :)
Favorite filament will be (still 3d noobie) carbon fiber and moldlay
