Create Custom Cookie Cutters

[@leosiwicki2013]

Who doesn't like a nice cookie shaped like a pumpkin or ghost!! How about a COVID cookie cutter. You are a great teacher and fun to watch and learn.

[@MakeWithTech]

Thanks.

[@R_Forde]

I tried to make an apple shaped cookie cutter but it went pear shaped..

[@MakeWithTech]

Try again. 😏

[@MatthewSmithx]

Love the video. Even though I’ve progressed beyond much of what you discuss, I still find myself learning something each time and your tone and attitude are a breath of fresh air on the internet

[@KYoung-nj8ri]

I love how informative your channel is, your orgnize your info really well! And maybe this is weird to say but I think your so delightful, your like a cool uncle that does fun crafts and teaches you things haha 😅

[@MakeWithTech]

When I was a kid there was a TV program called Mr. Wizard. This is basically my role model for this show. Thanks for the comment.

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

Totally agree! Positive without being ridiculously loud, cheery and "dudey" like many younger KZbinrs. Good tempo, it shows he's worked professionally with education. One of my new favourites now when I'm getting closer of getting my hands on a 3D printer (at last!) 👍

Great video! I always learn something new from your channel. Now I will have to make some cookie cutters for family and friends.

Enjoy

Inkscape is a free open source vector graphics program and SVG is central file format.

[@MakeWithTech]

I find inkscape more difficult to use.

[@cdorberlee]

im new to 3d printing, your explanation is the most user friendly and easy to understand. Thanks for making tutorial so simple.

[@Brickerbrack]

Rather than spend $10 a month on Boxy, I'd recommend going to inkscape.org and downloading Inkscape for free. It's a really powerful vector graphics editor that's free and open source... 😉 There's also plenty of excellent KZbin tutorials on how to use it, but for simple jobs like this, it's pretty self-explanatory.

[@MakeWithTech]

Boxy is only $10 total if you purchase the desktop version. I find it much easier to use.

[@Brickerbrack]

@@MakeWithTech That's fair enough. Well, at least Inkscape is there for anyone who _does_ want to go that route. Options are always good, right? 🙂

[@MakeWithTech]

Absolutely agree. That’s for participating.

[@tinkytinca]

Yet again Irv you have managed to educate me. Thank you 👍

[@MakeWithTech]

Glad to hear it

[@craftingmaniac617]

Thank you Dr Vax...very helpful

[@terrybullett493]

Cool and clever

[@taylorpeterson5556]

HELP!! I am trying to get my BL TOUCH going and I’ve put the firmware on the sd card. I put the card in the printer and nothing but a blue screen. I have the 32bit board on my Ender 3. V4 2.2 any suggestions Thanks

[@MakeWithTech]

You need to endure you have the right firmware for your model and board.

[@anniefrmTucson]

Hi Dr. Vax! Love your videos! I have been trying to print out my cookie cutters on a (cheap little) NantFun 3D printer and it continues to print on the top left and will not go to the center to print. The prints that came with the printer will print in the center but none that I have made. I have tried to hand manipulate the nozzle to no avail! Any Suggestions? Thank You! 😊 keep 'em coming!

[@MakeWithTech]

I am not familiar with that 3d printer. But the folks at the MakeWithTech user forum might be able to help. A great place to discuss this is at the MakeWithTech forum located at forum.makewithtech.com. At the free MakeWithTech forum/discussion group, you can also post images and examples of your work.

[@ErichWidemark]

It looks like the base you added had quite a bit of an unsupported overhang. Did it print ok?

[@baddan]

Thanks again Irv Very didactic explanation

[@MakeWithTech]

Thanks

[@cdorberlee]

when i click insert, my image of the apple doesn't create outline how come?

[@tookiecookie2266]

WOW AWESOME VIDEO!!! Can you show us how to set up a 3D printer to make a cookie cutter?

[@tookiecookie2266]

I did a lil research can you show us how to set up a Monoprice mini select V2 using the PLA Filament?

[@elcid8423]

Irv, here's a free program that appears to be a lot easier to make custom cookie cutters. What do you think?

[@dalilasamson7160]

Hello, I want cookie cutter dishwasher safe do you recommend PETG filament ?

[@MakeWithTech]

Petg has a glass transition point, when it starts to get soft of about 190f. So depending on you dish washer and hot water settings this may work.

[@dalilasamson7160]

@@MakeWithTech ok I'll test it! thanks

[@daabomb114]

I'm new to your channel! 1st of all, I'm simply amazed how simple your videos are to follow along. You definitely have earned my sub. Can't wait to learn some 3d printing

[@debonh3828]

If the idea is that you get a cookie in the shape of an apple, you won't get the stem. Should you not, instead of going inside the profile, gone outside? The way you've done it, will give apple shaped holes, but not apple shaped pieces.

[@MakeWithTech]

Yep. Correct. Good catch. The inset command requires a minimum space of 3 units to work. The stem was too narrow.

One item to note: many woods act as a natural anti-bacterial agent (scientifically proven that after 24hrs bacteria has generally been completely destroyed - unlike "plastic" utensils/breadboards). So the comparison at this point in the video needs to be tempered by that fact i.e. thorough washing of wooden utensils may well not be comparable to the washing you might need to apply to PLA utensils i.e. I don't think it is valid to say "because my method of washing wooden utensils works, therefore the same regime applied to PLA will be just as valid" - because of woods natural anti-bacterial properties any bacteria "missed" by the washing methodology could be "masked" by the properties of the wood itself - which is not true of PLA.

Great video as always. Are you from nj?

Why do you always use new software? You can do everything for free with FreeCad and Inkscape!

[@MakeWithTech]

I try and find the right tool for the job and for different people at different experience levels. I and a big fan of free ad but in this case were precision is not necessary tinkerCAD is easier to use.

[@DAsian23]

Make sure you use a non-brass nozzle (steel, stainless steel, or ruby) unless you are making your own nozzles out of lead-free brass. You are not going to know what type of brass you are buying without the seller showing you a material certification or a chemical analysis.

[@MakeWithTech]

Good tip! But with cold dough and a cold cutter is this a real problem? I am not an expert and I will defer to your suggestion but it seems a bit of a stretch to me.

[@DAsian23]

@@MakeWithTech Using a brass nozzle is probably not a major issue but why risk it? A steel nozzle is only a couple dollars more and you can sleep easier knowing you have one less thing to worry about. What most people don't understand about toxicology studies is they tend to focus on how much of X compound it will take to kill you or have any lasting effects. There are limited studies on the long-term effects of the body obtaining microdoseage of toxic elements over a life-span.

[@MakeWithTech]

I hear you.

[@geo11211]

I love your videos Dr Vax just wanted to ask you can you go to the video that you made titled The Best 3d Software for Beginners it was made a year ago and i left a comment and a question thank you very much for your videos

[@MakeWithTech]

Answered.

[@elcid8423]

Just paid $9.99. Is it a subscription or do I own it? (onetime payment) From what I can tell, it's not $9.99 forever it's $9.99 a year....
