Summary

This is a cookie cutter set for baking Advent calendars for Christmas.

Cut, bake and ice the biscuits.

When the icing is dry, pop the biscuits into cellophane packets and string on colourful yarn.

If you have more than one child, pop the appropriate number of biscuits in each packet.

Have fun, be blessed and please upload pictures of your Advent calendars.

Post-Printing

As the plastic cools in the corners it sometimes contracts and makes "high spots". If you place the cookie cutter on a marble slab, you can see light between the slab and the blade, because of these "high spots". If this happens I use 600 grit water paper on a piece of glass to sand the "high spots" back.

How I Designed This

I use the Cookie Cutter generator by Guru to generate the individual components of the various cookie cutters.

I use Netfabb Basic to position all the individual pieces of the cookie cutter and save them in their new positions.

I use Pronteface to compose the individual pieces and then export a single composite STL.

I use Netfabb Azure cloud service to repair the cookie cutter.
