Thanks for this tutorial. I volunteered to provide cookies for my kid's HS band awards ceremony and thought "What could be better than a caricature of the band director?" Your tutorial gave me just about everything I needed for the cutter base and I had to re-learn a little more InkScape to do the embossed lines for the features. It was a success! My only problem was I had made some lines too thin the first time so they didn't get printed. I have to remember to check the slider preview before printing...
I wrote down and followed your video step by step and it worked perfectly. I have had some trouble importing my files to tinkercad so this was amazing. Im going to print my clover cookie cutter today. Yay. Thank You.
First: I have learned all I know about Inkscape from you! I thank you for that!!! I had watched only video (from someone else) that had so many useless steps, I had to stop and look for another. 2nd is a charm because I found you! Thank you so much! I have learned that I should search your channel before doing any other searches!
Wonderful video. I am a retired teacher who has been encouraged by you to try to make polymer clay jewelry cutters very similar to cookie cutters but smaller. Thank you very much for sharing her knowledge. I subscribe to her channel and I hope to continue learning to buy the 3D printer. ❤️🌹👌👏👏👏
Thank you Sir! I've been using Sure Cuts Alot & Silhouette Studio for years but have only had my 3d printer for 2wks... I'm actually looking to make outlines/frames for use with resin but can apply what you've shared here and modify it for my needs. Great, simple, and to the point video! Perfect!!!!
Fantastic! Thank you so much 🙏. I am a resin artist and just got a 3 d printer today and have almost no background with cad, so this was extremely helpful in breaking down my fear of creating with Tinkercad. I am not interested in making toys and that’s what almost all the videos I have found on 3d printing are about. I am using this to make pieces to go inside of my art to offer support and new shaping options and I found your video to be so helpful. Any future videos expanding on your use of Tinkercad, or any websites that you find useful for downloading good plans for non toy 3d print items would be fantastic! Thank you 🌞
How do I make a cookie cutter of a shape I found online? I designed the star one like you did but when I tried to import a picture and follow the same steps it didn't work. Tried to get rid of the fill and it stayed black.
so I figured out how to use the alignment tool, it worked. I always get excited when something actually works that I make, I'm getting better; not expert
Great tutorial! I appreciate how straightforward your instructions are. I am trying to follow these steps with a design I made. I imported a png line drawing into Inkscape, used the trace bitmap function to get a path, and adjusted the thickness of the path to create three different svg files. On my computer, the svg drawings show different thicknesses, but when I import them into Tinkercad, they all are the same thickness. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? One thought is that the path in Inkscape seems to be one singular one on top of the line drawing instead of one around the outside of the line and one around the inside of the line. Could that be the problem? If so, how would I fix that?
Hi Troy! Thank you for the video's!! I've Subscribed and look forward to seeing all your videos. I'm learning to make cookie cutters and have followed your video to the T but after the point of changing the sizes of all three stars, when I try moving the second one to save in the boxed area the changed size part (2.0) is moving to the box then there is still a star from that move. I can not delete and then the stars to the side of the box are saved as well when I put them into Tinkercad. Hope that makes sense....help please! I think my Inkscape version is different than yours but not sure that matters. Thanks!
This was exactly what I've been looking for. However, if this was a cookie cutter with a design inside, would we use the same bottom measurements and middle, or make it even shorter?
HI thank you , i just bought a 3dprinter Mp vectoro and have no clue , would theseb soft ware also work for this printer , trying to make cookie cutters please help awesome vidio
Not sure if you will see this on older video, but I would love help with setting for CC in Cura that you use, I am having a hard time with my Ender 3 printing them out right! Love how easy it is to follow along with you!!
What do u mean by "CC in Cura?" I'm learning myself & not a very young person, so I think of carbon copy when I see CC & I'm sure that's not what you're referring to. Thank you. L😅
I am committed to learning this craft as I really want to create many items we want in our outdoor garden railway. So, please tell me the printer name again and the filament name. I think I can use Inkscape well enough since you taught me how with your videos! Thank you!
Hi! Which 3d printer do you recomend? And which brand of PLA would work best? I live in Costa Rica and it gets really expensive to buy cookie cutters every month so I want to buy a 3d printer. Wha are your thoughts in the Artillery printer?
Hi, enjoyed ur video.... when I searched on Amazon for the Creality Printer, it's telling me it cannot be shipped to my location..... I'm in Texas, USA... so wondering why??? Would u know by chance? Thank you.
Having done this for a year more since the posting of this video, have you discovered a way to make a smooth transition instead of the more obvious 2 stepped wall? I'm looking to create a clay cutter and want more of a "bladed" edge.
If you're wanting a tapered edge, I can't imagine a way to get that without sanding. A resin printer perhaps, but I have not worked with them so I'm not sure of their capabilities.
Hi, I followed this tutorial but when it comes to changing the thickness of the line, it stayed the same. I started with a line drawing of a leaf, not a filled in image. What should I do to change the thickness of the line please?
The problem with starting with a line drawing is that you have two paths, an inner and an outer path, even if the line is thin. You need to start with a solid shape. The best way would be to do Path then Break Part and delete the inner object and start with the outer solid object.
@TroyTube Thank you for explaining this. I have turned the line drawing into two solid shapes, as the inside of the leaf had veining, and then made two objects. I then used tinker cad to assemble it. Hope it works out when it comes to print.
@@TroyTube An update on the printing, hope you can help. The slicer didn't slice the 0.8mm wall. I selected print thin walls, it showed the wall in the preview. But when it printed, the walls were like a raft diagonal lines with thin layers in between making a net, and not adhered to the next layer of the cookie cutter (the holder). Is there anything I can do in the profile settings to fix the thin walls?
Not really, at least none that I could find that compared. At one time there was one on the App store that was a scam where they were tricking people into using it on a remote server window which gave them access to your login, passwords, etc. Not sure if it's still out there or not, but be careful for any that actually say they are inkscape for ipad because it does not exist.
@@TroyTube Thanks for the reply! just one more question,I create images using procreate to print but then when i imported them to inkscape, i wasn't able to do the fill and stroke step, any tips?
First tutorial I've seen that makes sense and doesn't require weird obscure tools. Thank you!
Thank you so much for being short, sweet but to the point! Wish I saw this video first!

by far the best video i have seen! thankyou
Thank you so much!!!! For the first time I managed to design something. I do thank you very much for this very instructive video.

Well something I’ve not seen before. Thanks for sharing this.
Great tutorial, the best 3D printing tutorial on youtube and i watched many! Thank you Sir for sharing..
You are absolutely amazing.
Super Helpfull troy, tnx for sharing and making this helpful video

I’m having the same issue.
thank you so much! this helped me immensly. :)
Great video!
Awesome video. Thanks
so I figured out how to use the alignment tool, it worked. I always get excited when something actually works that I make, I'm getting better; not expert
I would love a video on how to create a cuter with embossed stamp
So, a cutter that will press an image into the cookie dough on top?
oh yes me to please. love your videos
@TroyTube Yes, I believe that's wht they meant & I would LOVE to learn the same. You're great!!!!

I think my Inkscape version is different than yours but not sure that matters. Thanks!
Love the video. Do you have suggestions for an alternative to Inkscape for Mac users? I cannot get Inkscape to open on my Mac.
Thank you!!!!🎉
Cool thanks
This was exactly what I've been looking for. However, if this was a cookie cutter with a design inside, would we use the same bottom measurements and middle, or make it even shorter?
This is exactly what I needed! Just wanted to know dimensions to use!
What are your settings on the ender3 to print? For PLA of course. Thank you
this is so fantastic thank you so much, could you also show me how to add writing to the side of a cutter for labeling? Kelly
I would like to see that as well. Thank u for asking because I didn't think of it until I read your comment. L :)
HI thank you , i just bought a 3dprinter Mp vectoro and have no clue , would theseb soft ware also work for this printer , trying to make cookie cutters please help awesome vidio
Thankyou so so so much :)
Is it the same process if we import our procreated design to Inkscape? I wasn’t able to do the fill and stroke step?
Not sure if you will see this on older video, but I would love help with setting for CC in Cura that you use, I am having a hard time with my Ender 3 printing them out right! Love how easy it is to follow along with you!!

I am committed to learning this craft as I really want to create many items we want in our outdoor garden railway. So, please tell me the printer name again and the filament name. I think I can use Inkscape well enough since you taught me how with your videos! Thank you!
The one I have is in my Amazon store www.amazon.com/shop/troytube
Hi I need some help to make the cutter wall longer can you help me please
Hi! Which 3d printer do you recomend? And which brand of PLA would work best? I live in Costa Rica and it gets really expensive to buy cookie cutters every month so I want to buy a 3d printer. Wha are your thoughts in the Artillery printer?

I would like to understand why you first change the document properties to pixels? Thank you in advance 😊
Good question...hope he replies. :)
how do I get my design from tinkercad to my printer
Hi, enjoyed ur video.... when I searched on Amazon for the Creality Printer, it's telling me it cannot be shipped to my location..... I'm in Texas, USA... so wondering why??? Would u know by chance? Thank you.
No clue this is the one I have

Can you pleeeease make a video where you do a custom cookie cutter? I’m struggling with creating my own!
Not sure what you mean, it would be the same process for the most part.

Para realizar cortador con sello?
No estoy seguro de por qué estás preguntando
Hello, is there an iPad alternative for Inkscape ??
Not really, at least none that I could find that compared. At one time there was one on the App store that was a scam where they were tricking people into using it on a remote server window which gave them access to your login, passwords, etc. Not sure if it's still out there or not, but be careful for any that actually say they are inkscape for ipad because it does not exist.

Is the filament used food safe?
PLA filament is generally food safe
@@TroyTube Ok. Thank you. I have a printer, but was unsure about food safe items.
🤣 "why buy a $4 something....when you can buy a $400 dollar 3D printer and make it yourself" 😆 ..... You are funny! 🤣
😁
Oh my god, "why buy a $4 hook, when I can buy $400 in tools and make it myself" I feel seen... :D
At the price of gas, self manufacturing is almost profitable 🤣
