3D Printed Polymer Clay Cutter
Measures: 1.25 inches
Sharp: 0.4 mm edge for clean and precise cuts
How to use the cutters:
Press the cutter firmly into the clay, wiggle slightly, and lift straight up to separate the cut. Before using, lightly dust the edges with cornstarch or baby powder to prevent the clay from sticking. Always work on a glossy ceramic tile this helps ensure a clean cut without the clay sticking.
If the cutter has many small details, instead of powder, briefly dip it in water. This prevents clay from getting stuck in tight spots.
A handy tip: If your clay is very soft or warms quickly from your hands, put it in the freezer for a few minutes. This firms it up and makes cutting easier and cleaner.
How to clean the cutters:
To clean, simply wipe with a damp wipe to remove clay residue. For clay stuck in fine details, use a soft-bristled brush to gently clean without damaging the cutter.
Avoid heat or soaking in hot water, as this can warp and damage the plastic.
If any clay gets stuck in the details, don’t worry you can bake the piece as is and remove the extra clay once it’s cured. It works like a charm!
