Making Easter Cookie Cutters with my 3D Printer

In this video I show a step by step process of how to use www.cookiecad.com to convert an image into an STL file and the Cura Program to make cookie cutters with my Ender 3 Pro 3D Printer.

This is amazing - I’ve been thinking about getting a 3D printer for cutters but am a little overwhelmed at the idea of the learning curve!! This was so helpful, thanks!

[@lisawoodward1044]

Thank you for the tutorial. This is such a blessing!

[@rebeccaearle40]

If you select your original image as “reference,” then you can create a new layer and drag the color to the image and it will fill it without having to struggle w an outline!

[@jennsables]

Yes. Would love to see the cookie cutter. Also what printer do you have? Isn’t it easier to do things on the laptop? Sorry I’m so new at all of this!

[@reinadefashion7069]

Thank you. The pattern on the cookie is neat! :)

What material is this cookie cutter made of?

[@alliebarberena3583]

Hey there, thanks so much for this video! ive been trying to figure out how to print on my Ender 3 Pro and this was extremely helpful. Do you know if you can emboss with the Ender also?

[@jackievotaw324]

I’m glad it was helpful!! Yes you can, however I have never tried it! I do know that on cookiecad there is an imprint option. I hope this helps. 😄

Hello ! May i ask what setting you have on Cura! I’m having a difficult time right now perfection my cutters

[@andreasoto2620]

What settings on your printer did you use? Temperatures, speed, etc? I'm having a terrible time getting mine to print correctly.

[@rustyknightjustme]

Awesome content! Would you be willing to share your STL files?

[@lizhallum1734]

Hello! I just got a 3d printer to do exactly what you have done. I just need to make my own periodically when I can’t find what I need. I can get the file and start printing but I think my settings are wrong on my 3d printer and I even after watching a million videos on how to calibrate it, my cutter starts printing fine and then messes up, do you have any suggestions or settings that were helpful in the beginning?

[@firedragon15622]

hi, it's a fantastic Video thank you.. However I'd love to see the actual cutter that was printed. Is it sturdy and has sharp edges on the cutting side?

[@jackievotaw324]

Hi! Yes I realized after posting the video that I did not show the cutter 🤣 I’m sorry about that!! It is very sturdy and they can push through dough that has been refrigerated without bending. Hope this helps!

[@jackievotaw324]

Hi! For the sketching part I am using my iPad Air 3 and for the cura program I am using my asus laptop!

Hey. Probably a silly question but I've purchase an ipad air and only learning how to use Procreate. You used a SD card. Question is how did you save the bunny image from your ipad to the SD card. Could you kindly explain this please. Really want to create my own cutters using Ender 3 pro

[@jackievotaw324]

Hi there! So I do have to send the file from my iPad over to my laptop (I save the file to Dropbox). On my laptop I have to turn the photo into a cookie cutter and cookie cad and then upload that file into the Cura program-this is what you need in order to make it a 3D file that your printer can understand. So you do need an actual laptop in order to use the 3D printer. Hope this helps!

[@christyvoros]

What type if filament do you use? I read that PETG is food safe. Is PLA food safe as well?

[@g_gaming2893]

I know I’m a year late but hopefully someone sees this and learns somthing. PETG (Yes is good safe) BUT NOT WHEN YOU 3D print it. When you 3D print the PETG you are creating a layer over a layer witch is by no means solid enough to be actually good safe. What I mean is when we 3D print stuff the material and objects we print still have micro pores where bacteria love to breed and spread. There is however a way to make PETG food safe with some clear-seal coats. Look that up if your interested!

[@kylehafford1788]

How many cookie cutters can one roll of filament produce? Are you saving a lot of money making your own?

[@jackievotaw324]

Hi Kyle! Yes I have saved a ton of money. Depending on the size of the cookie cutters I can make about 100-150 cutters per roll of filament. It breaks down to about a quarter per cutter. To buy similar cutters is usually close to $8 for one cutter including shipping. Hope this helps!

Why didn’t you show the finished cookie cutter after it was done being made from the 3D printer? All that and you didn’t show the product? Makes no sense.

sure this is a nice video but impossible to hear have sound maxed out and sounds like a muffle, maybe redue and fit your mic.
