  • Armando shows you how he uses free software to create 3D Models for cookie cutters before printing them on a 3D Printer.
    We offer cookies and cookie cutters on our Website:
    www.armstinascookies.com
    Software Used:
    Gimp (Photoshop)
    www.gimp.org/downloads/
    Cura (Slicer)
    ultimaker.com/en/resources/51...
    Tinkercad (Modeling Website)www.tinkercad.com
    Online SVG Image Converter
    image.online-convert.com/conv...
    Tinkercad (3D Designing Website)
    www.tinkercad.com
    Main Steps:
    I. Gimp
    - Turn image into silhouette shape
    - Scale image to desired cutter size
    - Make extra layers
    - Save first layer image (Hole)
    - Grow image by 1 mm and save second image (Blade)
    - Grow image by 6 mm and save third image (Handle)
    II. SVG Converter
    - Convert images to .svg files
    III. Tinkercad
    - Import first image and scale to size
    - Increase height of first image to be taller than desired cutter height and turn into a Hole
    - Import second image and increase height to desired cutter height (we do 16 mm)
    - Import third image and make height desired handle height (we do 2 mm)
    - Group layers together and mirror horizontally
    - Export model as .stl file
    IV. Cura
    - Import .stl file into Cura and make sure scale is appropriate
    - Set 3D Printer settings
    - Save to memory card
    Hope this helps!

    Thank you so much for this awesome video. I had ordered some 3D printed cutters and my husband told me I could just make them and print but I didn’t know how. I do have a question, the ones I ordered, the cutter gradually grows right before the “handle” part making it have this nice curve outward. Would you have to make more layers for that or can you tell it to print outward until it reaches you handle dimensions. So informative. Thank you!

  • @sandydee4342
    @sandydee4342 3 роки тому +1

    That was an awesome video, I learnt a lot. I’m wondering, do you use a PLA filament? If so, do you use the cookie cutter straight from the printer or do you smooth it or finish it somehow first? I plan on reusing the cookie cutters I print quite a bit and I want to make sure that they are food safe and completely clean and I read that the printer doesn't create completely smooth edges so bacteria can grow in the groves. Is that true?

      We’ve played around with it for a bit but the results were inconsistent and didn’t have much of an impact when using on dough. We found as long as the blade is at most 1mm thick it cuts the dough easily.

Bouncing btwn that (10s pro V2), the Ender 3 V2, FlashForge (just because it’s enclosed and I have a bothersome cat) and Anycubic Mega S. Any personal suggestions?

      Negative. The entire blade wall is the same thickness. We make ours 1mm thick, which provides us with a sharp cut and isn’t flimsy.

    @allysin2002 Рік тому +1

    I use your system all the time. LOVE IT! But I have stumbled over a glitch and sure it's just something I am doing wrong. Usually with custom cutters this problem arises. I scale it to the size I want in Gimp. Then convert to svg file. But when I go to use Tinkercad to create the cutter, the scale is WAY off. Like sometimes I have to go as small as 5%. It's a trial and error to see what percentage will give me what size. Am I creating the original picture using too high a resolution?

    • @armstinasfamily
      @armstinasfamily  Рік тому +1

      This actually happens to me a lot as well, and I share the same theory. It’s a minor issue though, as long as you pay attention to the dimensions when importing into Tinkercad.

I'm doing a slightly more complex shape that the heart and every time I try to change the background to red, it comes up gray.

      Thank you! We have never attempted to make a stamp before, so wouldn’t be able to make a tutorial for that.

      Definitely recommend printers from Creality, and the Ender 3 is a very good choice.

    do you need to use a stainless steel extruder nozzle to make the cookie cutters food safe?

    • @armstinasfamily
      @armstinasfamily  3 роки тому +1

      People tend to argue this a lot. At the end of the day, the filament comes out at a temperature that kills any bacteria that people are worried about. We use brass nozzles.

      @@armstinasfamily Thanks I was wondering if it really mattered or not. That sounds like copper is the better extruder for this. Also do you have a preference and PLA or any other print medium?

    • @armstinasfamily
      @armstinasfamily  2 роки тому

      There should be a small window that pops up so you can adjust the threshold level. May be different in other versions of Gimp, and sometimes the photo doesn’t work well with that method

    • @armstinasfamily
      @armstinasfamily  3 роки тому

      When making the different sized silhouettes in Gimp, on the one I increased the selection by 1mm, try going a little less, like 0.8mm. Also, after the model is made and you open in the slicer program, if you scale it up at all the walls will increase in size then.

    Hi there! Thank you so much for posting this video. Im such a noob, and your video is the only one I've found that makes me think I can do this!! Question - on the step where you're making the three copies, it seems like when I copy the original file, I lose the image. The whole square becomes the image, so when I try to use the paint tool to blacken the image, it covers the whole square. Any ideas what i'm doing incorrectly? Thanks
