donut cutter

thingiverse

i wanted to make donuts but i didnt have anything i was satisfied cutting them with so i designed one in solidworks, i designed it with a chamfer around the bottom so it would cut easier. and a curve on top for comfortable holding and holes in the top for easy release of the donuts. I used the dimensions I found on the internet Large cutter: 3 1/5" or 82 mm diameter Hole cutter: 1" or 25 mm diameter Height: 1 2/5" or 35 mm This cutter is designed to be durable and comfortable to hold and to be easy in use. ther are 3 models, because i fount that i needed to add a layer on the bottom to make it stick. i personally used the file with the full brim. For the models with a brim in the design you'll need to set the initial layer height to 0.2 mm and for slicing software i used cura, i printed it cut side down, but you could also try to print it curve side down. I also added the original solidworks file in case you want to change something. It requires some sanding after printing to get rid of the rough edges created by the self made brim but its not a lot of work. And make sure to dip the cutter in flour before using to ensure the dough releases from the cutter.
