Printing Tips for Optimal Results
To get the best results from your Octopus Cookie Cutters, follow these recommended print settings:
- Material: PLA is recommended for its ease of use and food-safe properties.
- Layer Height: Set to 0.2 mm for a good balance between detail and print time.
- Wall Thickness: Ensure it's 1.2 mm or greater to maintain the structure and durability of the cutter.
- Infill: 15–20% infill provides enough strength without using too much material.
- Supports: Not required, which simplifies the post-processing steps.
- Print Orientation: Place the model flat on the build plate for the best results.
Light layer lines are normal and expected with 3D printing, adding a subtle texture to your cutters.
