[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Can someone help with a quick design?

Posted: 11/5/2021 3:07:57 PM EDT

I'm new to printing and so far only downloading things on Thingiverse and editing/slicing with Kiri:moto, which is limited.

My wife had the idea to make her mom some cookie cutters/cookie presses with the name of their farm on it. If it could be in the shape of a dog paw that would be even better.

(deleted)It will cost nothing because nobody can charge for parts/design in this forum. Rat_Patrol

thanks!

Do you like cutters, or presses? I assume a press since you need to emboss or deboss a name?

What is the name? How big?

I might be able to give this a whirl.

Although this may be more fitting in the part request thread.

I would think this might be a 2 part cutter.
The first to make the paw shape
And the second you press into the paw shape to make the farm's embossment

Trying to make one piece might prove difficult to remove cookies.

Here's a dog paw

This might be a 3 part piece:
The first to make the overall outline
The second to come down and make the paw's defining features standout/raise up
And the third to make the farm's embossment

You could always align the 3 parts, in the slicing software, and make a single part mold, for the first run.
If the cookies aren't too hard to get out, and aren't deformed doing so, you're done

This is a quickie mashup using
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3216389
as a jumping off point & doing a few additions in Tinkercad (on-line). It would make a 80mm round cookie (a bit over 3 inches).

Is that the sort of thing you're looking for?

the name is "Irish Acres" and I'm open on the size, big enough to read but reasonable for a cookie. Maybe 3"-4" or so? I believe a press and a cookie cutter. it may work as one, it may not, I'm super new. Hell I haven't even made a benchy yet, but been making Octopi for the kids.

yeah, that would do it.
do you think the press and cutter would need to be 2 pieces? I didn't realize there was an online version of tinkercad.... I'll try and figure that out now too!

OP, I'd do something like this:

Basically, cookie cutter would be a single piece. The thickness of the web would be thinner than the embossed print (to hold it all in one cookie vs. 5 cookie pieces), and then you would deboss the name into the "palm" of the paw.

Or you could Emboss vs Deboss the text. Up to you. It would get to be a pretty tall cookie if you embossed it though.

No problem. I try not to be a hard ass, but if this was for a physical part I would have locked it down

Yeah, but people like that guy the other day that have printing businesses and otherwise are looking to make a buck (against forum rules) are ever present.

Plus, gotta flex those mod muscles sometimes! You guys behave so well my mod buttons get bored

PM Me your email and I'll send the STL over. If you want any changes, let me know. Or, if, when you print it, you feel it needs tweaks, let me know.

Always happy to help.

I have different brands of PLA...One of them requires a 1.05 extrusion multiplier, and another I have requires 0.95. I accidentally selected the wrong profile and I realized it halfway through. I printed this using a filament I need to up the multiplier on, and instead I selected the 0.95, so the print underextruded.

I also ran PETG prior to this print, and I didn't clean the nozzle out all the way. I normally run cleaning filament between filament type changes, but didn't bother as this was just a proof of design print and not something that would actually be used.

Hi kitties, nice to see you stop in!

Well, it is literally called the "maker" community, making is what we do

You want your mind blown, check out the 'what did you print today' thread

We are always happy to answer any questions you may have, whether you currently print or not, or even if you never plan to.

In this forum we agree to do this strictly as ambassadors for the hobby and we all pledge to not turn a profit in offering CAD design, printing, or advice; in fact we don't even charge for the filament to recoup cost. At the end of the day it's not much and it's a great way to give back to fellow Arfcommers.

Thank you so much!

I have this idea for a product, based on need I have found in my own life. I outlined this in an IM to Rat, but he is probably sleeping, and should be. I noticed that non-techy people don't post here much, so I did not post without checking first because it it always good to observe protocol. In some forums, stupid questions are not welcome.

I am amazed by what you all can do, and appreciate your kindness. I have read through part of the "parts request thread" but not all the way yet.

Thank you again for being an ambassador.

From a techie type who also cooks a bit: be sure and bake a test batch after you settle on a design and print a cutter. There's a good chance your lettering may disappear as the cookie swells when it bakes. Some dough recipes may work better than others.
