Someone I know is hand-making a game that uses hexagonal pieces. They are using epoxy modelling clay and other miniature figure making materials. When I saw they were cutting the bases by hand I offered to print simple plastic bases for them or make a convenient hexagon "cookie-cutter" so that they would line up with each other better. These pieces are 33mm along a side or 66mm from two opposite points... so they are smaller than Catan pieces (which are 45mm on a side and 90mm across BTW), however as the script is parametric it could be modified to make compatible tiles.

Changes from previous versions:
0.3
- Added proper comments and cleaned up code
- Implemented Parametric Variables
0.2
- switched to using 6 sided conical frustrum
0.1
- First attempt using extruded 6-sided polygon

A simple parametric script for cookie cutters.
I used the font Kreon Bold from thingiverse.com/thing:13677 , any of those fonts should work.

I have included stl-files for most letters and numbers.

note: There seem to be a few issues with certain letters: b, d, q, p and P give errors.

This is a design I made to cut shapes into icing on our Christmas cake. It's about 100mm across, and will cut into thin icing - it might work for cookie dough, although I haven't tried.

I designed this in Sketchup, so have included the source file as well as the exported, and printable STL file.

Two part cutter for making cute Hello Chulhu cookies.

Edit: For those, who are looking DR.Who cookies, they are made using David WIlson's design: thingiverse.com/thing:14533

I love the Custom-Cookie-Cutter-Generator made by Guru, but I found it was rather difficult to use, especially when trying to add / remove nodes. So, I made some usability changes:

* Current selected node is highlighted in red
* When moving a node, it picks the node closest to the mouse, not just ones that are 4px away
* Increased the height / depth of the cutting part for thicker rolls of dough
* New nodes are now placed at the mouse cursor in a logical clockwise order instead of at a semi-arbitrary location
* Removing a node now removes the node closest to the mouse
* Added a basic scaling feature: up arrow scales the entire node set by 110%, down arrow scales the entire node set by 90%.
* Made it so the file open/save dialogues all remember the last location you used them (super handy if you're not working in "My Documents").

All props to Guru for making the original one though!

There are still some things I wouldn't mind implementing when I have time:
* Automated "smoothing" by inserting new nodes to round things out
* Clean up the load / save / export functions so that proper file extensions are used, etc
* More stuff that I forgot..

Also, to use this, you need the unlekkerlib for processing. You can download it at: codeandform.googlecode.com/files/unlekkerLib0003c.zip . To make it work, create a folder called "libraries" in your Processing folder (where the sketches are stored), and unzip the unlekkerLib folder into that libraries folder.

Just in time for Christmas! Festive Dr Who themed Cookie Cutters. The Tardis and Dalek.

These cookie cutters come in two parts, one to make the impression in the dough, while the second one cuts the outline.

17 December 2011 - The Dalek stamp has been updated - provides more definition for it's "Arm" / "Weapon" - you know... those things it waves about from time to time! - EXTERMINATE!

My daughter is making some biscuits at school. She designed a Christmas tree which we modelled in solidworks and printed, I hope the biscuits taste nice!

Be afraid these skeletons bite back!

This is version 2 of the skeleton Gingerbread Man cookie cutter. The cutter is printed in two parts for easier cutting out of the cookie dough. Take a look at the pictures of actual cookie preparation and the finished product they came out great!

Print, Mix, Roll, Cook, Cool, Ice, Eat.

Enjoy!

After incidents in the UK last week, i wanted to make sure my car was fully equiped in the event of an accident.

Here is a first design of a safety hammer, comprising of a blade to cut a seat belt and a hammer end to break windows.
PLEASE NOTE, I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO USE THIS OR TEST IT.

The hammer is made using available tools and parts so this should be easy to manu.

This is the 4th revision, and i can see something that i want to make better - angle of the blade and a slope to allow the material being cut to easily slide out of the slot.
Any other updates you wish to mention and i will update.

The picture uses a screenshot from a previous design in Autodesk Inventor, that was tranfered into Adobe Illustrator, and edited with the Live Trace under the Object dropdown menu. The font used it Vineta BT in its regular setting. An Epilog CNC Printer was used to cut the clear blue, 3mm, acrylic.

What better way to eat a cookie, but for it to look like Domo Kun or the Rebel Alliance logo!

I suggest a shortbread cookie or something that doesn't change shape that much. This recipe works pretty well: joyofbaking.com/shortbreads/shortbreadcookies.html

I have included Inventor project files as well as the original DXFs to extrude your hearts desire.

This is a gear cookie cutter made with thingiverse.com/thing:3433.

the laser-cutter version of my "smiley" pinhole camera body.

if you have no laser cutter you can upload the file to ponoko and order a cam for yourself.

pls add a "i made one" picture and rate.

thanks...

This is my first attempt at designing a cookie cutter so I hope it works fine. I did try to make the "cutting edge" a little sharper in the hope it cuts through the dough easily enough.

This is an F18 cookie cutter, simply print, and cut out as much F18 as you desire!
This was built using guru's cookie cutter.

Some days planning to conquer the universe takes a lot out of you.

On those days I just wish I had an army of genetically altered peoples from Skaro, entirely devoid emotions except for ambition and hatred, enclosed in a metallic casing providing them with all the weaponry, communications, necessities for survival and universal domination.

If you're like me, this cookie cutter may be just what you're looking for. Each STL contains plans for two cookie cutters. If people want a single-Dalek cookie cutter, let me know and I'll upload an STL for that.

Just recently my attention was called to the plight of the soft-pawed albino stoat of southern Wales. I implore you, please eat Stoat cookies made from soy-Stoat substitute rather than this gentle over-hunted and endangered ermine.

A friend wanted a llama cookie cutter. I've included the Sketchup file if you want to make your own variation.

Update: The new version has been tested and printed by someone else. Delicious llamas for all!

This is a design for a simple rubber band gun. it has a small magazine of rubber bands, and is operated by pulling back on the front handle to push the rubber bands of their pegs. it can be sized up and down to your specifications, provided all parts are in the scale they are now. Try to make it better!

Will try to get pictures up soon.

The djangopony necklace.... What more do you need to know.

There are red hairlines, that are the cuts. I made them red so you can see them even with the raster over it.

This design was put together by @astera, inspired by Bryan Veloso's djangopony. She gave me the original svg work that I modified to make work with our laser cutter.

what is a djangopony?

UPDATE: 3/15/2008 V2 uploaded, with better hole size for more stable djangopony success out of the laser cutter.

This is a remake of something that my Dad made when I was a kid. His version was made of wood. Its cool because it makes the belt look like it is defeating gravity!
