Today we have a really exciting and log awaited new feature! Now you can create cutter sets, multi cutters and puzzles! You’ll find the option in the “Thing to make” dropdown on [app.cookiecad.com](http://app.cookiecad.com). # Cutter set - Puzzle Cutter Let’s dive right in! We’re going to make this three piece cutter set. Two puzzle pieces and one small heart cutter. Lower down I’ll show you how to make a one piece multi-cutter. ![image](https://community.cookiecad.com/uploads/default/original/1X/f62d29816ffd0a678833a01ab2ce20356626778a.png) 1. To start we will need three shapes separated. 2. Next upload it to [Cookiecad Designer](https://app.cookiecad.com) and from “Thing to make” select “Cutter set”. Cookiecad now makes our cutter set with the pieces sized proportionally! ![image](https://community.cookiecad.com/uploads/default/original/1X/bdff71bb123541b6ffde79a31d51ca553000c4be.jpeg) When making a cutter set, the size you set will be the size of the largest cutter. The others will then be sized proportionally to the proportions in your image. If you are making a cutter set don’t put the shapes too close to each other or the handles will overlap. We may let you arrange the items in a future update - for now you’ll have to separate them in your image. Once you download the STL in order to arrange it on your bed, or print them one at a time in the slicer you’ll need to separate the objects. [details=“In PrusaSlicer just click the “separate to objects” button in the menu. Click for screenshot”] ![image](https://community.cookiecad.com/uploads/default/original/1X/d1fb7cd04025c2b67c1ecc85eebea5bff130d499.png) [/details] > **In Cura you can use meshtools. Click to learn how.** > > Click marketplace, then meshtools and install it.(You’ll need to restart Cura afterwards) > > ![image](https://community.cookiecad.com/uploads/default/original/1X/69532943047cf69ebef357502a2a6e6f5713f0e3.jpeg) > > After that right click, click mesh tools and split object to parts: > > ![image](https://community.cookiecad.com/uploads/default/original/1X/8027a87c925feadfa9283930718eb91bf958b4c0.png) > > Now you can manipulate the objects independently, arrange them on the bed or print them one at a time. # Multicutter - A single cutter that cuts multiple shapes Create an image with multiple shapes tiled with a small space between them. (Inkscape is a great free tool for this. In Inkscape open your image and click Edit → Cone → create tiled clone.) Here is an example: ![image](https://community.cookiecad.com/uploads/default/original/1X/b88ad7b3e5a96c2583b96d7785891e434080246f.png) Now upload to Cookiecad and select “Cutter Set” just like we did above. Since these are close together the handles overlap creating a single cutter. ![image](https://community.cookiecad.com/uploads/default/original/1X/f8f6b35c386630329439a64585858b169234437e.jpeg) The size setting will be the size of a single bone. Have fun! I can’t wait to see what you make with this! I’d love if you can share photos here in the community once you’ve tried this out. ---

Here are the actual cutters used for a gamer cake with the text “Level 10 Game On” on the side of the cake. ![IMG_3837](https://community.cookiecad.com/uploads/default/original/1X/32edd7a83038c7152856f6be0db8c80e469793ba.jpeg) I use the site [dafont.com](http://dafont.com) to find fonts that work with the theme of the cake. The font I use most often is the Waltograph font. ![Waltograph](https://community.cookiecad.com/uploads/default/original/1X/eb48c9a2da09cf6d41dc009d44c5fff046649fb0.jpeg) And the Peace Sans font is useful too… ![PeaceSans](https://community.cookiecad.com/uploads/default/original/1X/9a46750098bbb6138f57b9fb6bbc68d1ea336c0f.jpeg) ---

Hello Nathan, I love all the new features! just wondering if you can recommend a program to seperate the shapes like you have here? also wondering if you know of a program that can automatically draw outlines? currently I draw them in myself using procreate but would love something simpler. Thank you! ---

You can do both of those in inkscape, which is free. In inkscape you can add an offset path effect to create outlines. It is really useful once you get the hang of it. ---

Hi Nathan, what do you save it as in inkscape that is compatible with cookiecad ---

Hi Nathan. I successfully created the multi cutter I want in Inkscape but I can’t find my png file to upload into CookieCad. Do you know if it takes a while to save? It has an unfamiliar icon next to it. I will check back, maybe it is still saving. Thank you ![image](https://community.cookiecad.com/uploads/default/original/1X/e0c7d1e1466d0bbaa8301da2a5665da76566b8dd.jpeg) ---

When you are in inkscape to export the png you can see in the box where it is saving it. Make sure to hit the export button - then you can go to that location in file explorer to find it. Or you can change the place inkscape is putting it and tell it to put it somewhere where you will know to find it. ---

Do you mean in the slicer? In Prusa Slicer click the split to objects option in the menu. In Cura, install the mesh tools plugin, then right click and click separate parts.
