OpenSCAD DXF Cookie Cutter - for Llamas

prusaprinters

<p>Thinigiverse user brandonh reminded me of this old cookie cutter design I uploaded more than two years ago. It was originally designed in Google Sketchup - and it had a lot of problems. I decided to see what I could do with my newfound OpenSCAD chops.</p> <p>I stripped the Sketchup file down to a 2D cross-section of the llama and then exported it to a DXF using a plugin. Then it was a matter of importing that DXF into OpenSCAD and whipping up a little script to turn it into a decent cookie cutter.</p> <p>The script can take a DXF file and turn it into one of two different kinds of cookie cutters. One is a blocky cookie cutter where the cutting part of the cookie cutter is shaped like the outside edge of the entire cookie cutter (look at the STL render to get a better idea of this). The slim cookie cutter has the cutting part closely following the shape of the object to be cut out.</p> <p>The second type is more pleasing and probably more useful, but takes longer to render in OpenSCAD.</p> <p>AnyHOW... the result is an OpenSCAD script that can help you quickly create nifty cookie cutters from an existing DXF.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Kitchen &amp; Dining Instructions</h3> <p>Download and print a Llama cookie cutter, make a cookie, and eat a cookie.</p> <p>OR</p> <p>Download the OpenSCAD file, add your own DXF file, create a new cookie cutter, make a cookie, and eat a cookie.</p>
