You'll see your outline right there, 10mm tall by default. Go into Tinkercad and Import, then import your new SVG Otherwise you'd get a solid chunk of plastic instead of a hollow cutter. 'Stroke to Path' will take the thick stroke line that you can see and outline both sides of it, so you have a cookie-cutter shape. The nozzle on the 3D printer is probably 0.4mm, so don't try to go too thin - maybe try 0.8 or 1.2mm. Go to the Fill and Stroke panel -> Stroke Style and set Width to however thick you want your cutting edge. Just use the star tool or whatever as a test. I've tried Fusion 360 and found it extremely daunting - surely rewarding if you put in the effort, but Tinkercad is so easy and can do a surprising amount if you're willing to work within its limitations.įor your first cutter, here's the process I would try:

I am pretty sure I could create a design in fusion 360 that you could just drop new 2d drawings into and it would automatically do the rest. I think though that probably you can develop a methodology that is easily repeatable and go from there. That license DID recently become more restrictive, but I agree that the restrictions probably won't harm you, and anyway, you can apply for a entrepeneur's license, which is what I did, which grants you a full license renewable every year) So can, for example, Fusion 360 (which as mentioned above has a license for home use. You want to start with an outline that represents the shape of the object, and end up with a 3d model suitable for printing that is a bit like this? TinkerCAD can almost surely do this. If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to make something like this, but with your own shape. I don't know that much about tinkercad, but you can *probably* do what you want with it, if I understand your question. I think OP is using 'cookie cutter' type implements to cut clay, not cookies, based on my understanding of the question.
