I’ve recently built a Mini Kossel 3D printer and already I’m wondering how I ever lived without a 3D printer. For example, my wife and daughter were making cookies today for the big Thanksgiving feast tomorrow but they couldn’t find the turkey cookie cutters. No problem! 3D printer to the rescue!
A quick trip over to Thingiverse quickly gave me a very nice design for a turkey cookie cutter. Twenty minutes later I had a plastic food-safe cookie cutter and the girls were back in action! No trips to the store. No fighting the traffic. Easy as pie cookies!
How has your 3D printer saved the day?

What plastic do you use that is food safe? I’ve looked a few times and never found anything rated.
Thanks
Jonathan, PLA, especially when made from corn, is generally regarded as food-safe especially for something that gets as little contact as cookie cutter. The lack of a smooth surface makes nearly any 3D print, regardless of material, a good container for foods.

Also, I forgot to warn my wife… PLA isn’t dishwasher safe :(
Sorry, I meant to say “The lack of a smooth surface makes nearly any 3D print, regardless of material, a *poor* container for foods.”
This is what we called 3d printer application.
