Saves quite a lot of time :)</p> <p>Recently I found myself creating cookie cutters in Rhino 6. Since I wanted to do a couple of them, I made myself a little GH definition, that was doing repetitive stuff for me.<br/> That brought me to an idea - idea of making complete definition, where you insert curve and it returns completed cutter ready for printing straight away. Facing lots of problems in the process, I found it worth sharing with you all.<br/> I made it as bulletproof as I could, implemented analysis, made everything organised and readable, and covered whole creation process in detailed video tutorial, that you can watch on my YT channel.</p> <p>I wanted that even people who do not usually do 3D modelling are able to create themselves what they want using my generator.</p> <p>It's up to you to test, whether I met my goal or not :)</p> <p>And of course I added some finished models for you. All of them were created using my generator.</p> <p>I want to wish you all <strong>merry christmas</strong>, have a nice time and happy printing!</p> <p>Feel free to give some feedback or ask me anything related.<br/> I am learning GH myself so I appreciate any advice or ideas that help me improve</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Object is not very hard to print, so I leave it up to you.</p> <p>0.5mm wide cutting edge is printable with 0.4 nozzle.<br/> Your chamfer won't be very nice though, because of transitioning from 2 perimeters to 1.</p> <p>Print <strong>PLA</strong>, because rigidity<br/> I personally used 0.25 nozzle, setup included in Setup.3mf file.<br/> I use my own starting G-code, you may test it and disable it eventually.<br/> Even with smaller nozzle, print times for average sized cutters are 1.5-3h, which is OK</p>
