Gingerbread former or "gingerbread bell"

Edit 18/12/12: I've tweaked some geometries to fine-tune the handling. I've also added more models for various wafer diameters (40, 50, 70 and 90). The amount of dough required for non-70-mm-diameters will be calculated shortly. The new models are still untested since my 3D-printer is waiting for me to complete the repairs. I was baking some gingerbreads when I realized that forming them with two spoons was really frustrating. So, I decided to design a 3D-printable "gingerbread bell". This one is designed for 70 mm wafers and requires approximately 42 g of dough. It's not perfect yet but it works. The "spatel" and "glocke" were printed with 0.1 mm resolution. You'll need a diameter 3 screw, either an M3 or self-cutting screw should be okay, though you may need to shorten it; I estimate 5 mm thread length is sufficient. You'll need brim and support for the "spatel", which means some minor rework (less than 3 minutes) after printing. I will add versions for other wafers later and maybe make "Antrieb" easier to print, but this will take a few days. Here's my go-to recipe (for about 20 gingerbreads): 120 g candied orange peel 120 g candied citron peel 120 g brown sugar 360 g ground hazelnuts 4 medium eggs 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 teaspoons gingerbread spice 1 teaspoon lemon peel 6 teaspoons honey and a wafer
