Bunny 2, Cookie-Cutter

thingiverse

My latest cookie-cutter masterpiece, crafted with precision for Easter festivities. Print Settings Printer: DaVinci 2.0A Duo Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 90 (full) Notes: I successfully printed this design using 90fill (full), slow speed, 0.2 stepsize, standard wall-thickness and model slices in the XYZware with these settings. Keep in mind that slicing should result in a double-wall structure without any holes. How I Designed This I created this design manually within Blender 2.76 by drawing the shape based on a bitmap image using extrude and solidify-modifier techniques, followed by mesh-cleanup steps. Sliced in XYZware to produce double-walls without gaps. The ZIP file contains the STL file, along with the resulting 3w file and the original Blender file for modifications. Blender Details •Start with scene, delete default object (in Edit mode) •Add "shape" bitmap in Z-projection (optional) •Create vertex loop (CTRL clicking), closed •Scale so that 10 Blender units equal 10mm •Clean-up loop (add/remove vertices), smooth etc. •Duplicate object (in Object mode) to have one for "upper" and one for "lower" part •Extrude (in Edit mode) lower part 3 units downwards •Ensure face-normals point outward (Recompute normals if needed) •In Object mode, apply "Solidify modifier", no offset, thickness 0.5 •Extrude (in Edit mode) upper part 10 units upwards •Ensure face-normals point outward (Recompute normals if needed) •In Object mode, apply "Solidify modifier", no offset, thickness 0.15 •In Object mode, select both parts, then File/Export as STL The Solidify modifier thickness may need adjustment (between 0.9 and 0.15) depending on how the slicer creates the walls, aiming for a double-wall structure with no gaps!
