Description

A five-point star cookie cutter, 60 mm tip to tip, with 18 mm tall walls and a wide flat flange around the top edge. The flange gives a thumb a broad surface to press on, so pushing the cutter through dough doesn't put a thin edge against your skin.

Remix hooks

The values below are the ones worth changing. Everything else follows from them.

  • Star size (R, 30 mm): This is the tip radius, so 60 mm across. Change it to scale the star. At about 40 mm across or less, check that the flange doesn't crowd the inner corners.
  • Point sharpness (ratio, 0.5): This is the inner radius divided by the outer radius. Lower values like 0.4 give spikier points. Higher values like 0.6 give a chubbier, more rounded star. Very spiky points are harder to press out of dough.
  • Flange (flange_w 4 mm, flange_t 2 mm): Widen it for a more comfortable press, or thicken it for more stiffness. Rounding the flange's outer corners is an easy variant if you want it softer on the thumb.
  • Wall (wall, 1.2 mm): This is about three nozzle widths on a 0.4 mm nozzle. Thinner cuts more cleanly but is more fragile. Thicker is sturdier but pushes dough aside more.
  • Height (H, 18 mm): Lower it for thin cookies, or raise it for thick dough or a deeper grip.

Pairs well with

  • A set of different sizes, made by changing R and nothing else.
  • Other shapes that reuse the same wall and flange values, such as a heart or circle, so the whole set feels the same in the hand.
  • A matching stamp or embossing plate that fits inside the cutter opening.

Printing

Print it flange-up or flange-down on the bed. Flange-down needs no supports, and the thin walls grow straight up from the flange. Use food-safe filament if you want to use it on dough.
