Hi everyone! I am new and very new to the printing of my own cutters so I apologize in advance for the long winded post. I was spending a great deal of money purchasing cutters and it is fine but after awhile I wanted to design my own unique ones instead.

I haven’t even begun to try and design my own as I have been trying to understand the settings. I am starting out with a plain ol’ teardrop cutter. The first couple I printed I used the default settings but they were kinda clunky (thick) and not very sharp. I’ve watched a couple of different videos and looked at recommendations from sellers of cookie cutters and the settings they used to try and get a better idea. I am not using cutters for cookie molds but rather polymer clay. I always roll out my clay between 2mm and 2.5 mm thick.

Someone suggest the following settings and wanted to get feedback from you all on your thoughts
