Or just keep doing it this way - that's what I do and it works fine for me.Īlso! You can also find random SVG files online and import those into Tinkercad. Once you get started, you may find out what you like better, and decide to either learn more about Inkscape or learn something like Fusion 360. I know this is kind of a quick overview, but I've used this workflow often, and you can print pretty much whatever you can draw without having to figure out complicated software. Load into Cura, check the size and printer settings, then print it. Now you'll have a ready-to-print STL file. The defaults will be fine.) The printed version will look just like what you see in Tinkercad, so if it looks weird, stop and figure it out before continuing. (You can change the shape and size in Tinkercad by selecting the shape and dragging the white square handles, but you don't have to. You'll see your outline right there, 10mm tall by default. Go into Tinkercad and Import, then import your new SVG Otherwise you'd get a solid chunk of plastic instead of a hollow cutter. "Stroke to Path" will take the thick stroke line that you can see and outline both sides of it, so you have a cookie-cutter shape. The nozzle on the 3D printer is probably 0.4mm, so don't try to go too thin - maybe try 0.8 or 1.2mm. Go to the Fill and Stroke panel -> Stroke Style and set Width to however thick you want your cutting edge. Just use the star tool or whatever as a test. I've tried Fusion 360 and found it extremely daunting - surely rewarding if you put in the effort, but Tinkercad is so easy and can do a surprising amount if you're willing to work within its limitations.įor your first cutter, here's the process I would try: Posted by RustyBrooks at 2:25 PM on Januīest answer: I would start with Tinkercad for this.
I am pretty sure I could create a design in fusion 360 that you could just drop new 2d drawings into and it would automatically do the rest. I think though that probably you can develop a methodology that is easily repeatable and go from there. That license DID recently become more restrictive, but I agree that the restrictions probably won't harm you, and anyway, you can apply for a entrepeneur's license, which is what I did, which grants you a full license renewable every year) So can, for example, Fusion 360 (which as mentioned above has a license for home use. You want to start with an outline that represents the shape of the object, and end up with a 3d model suitable for printing that is a bit like this? TinkerCAD can almost surely do this. If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to make something like this, but with your own shape. I don't know that much about tinkercad, but you can *probably* do what you want with it, if I understand your question. I think OP is using "cookie cutter" type implements to cut clay, not cookies, based on my understanding of the question.
