Deboss & Stack [Triple Gem] B&V Shape Cutters

$9.90 AUD
GENERAL INFO

ABOUT: Blackbird & Violet Shape Cutters are 3D printed from PLA, a biodegradable plastic.

Their cutting edge is approx. 0.4mm & base is 2-3mm to support an easy cut-out. 

FINISH: All efforts are taken to reduce any bumps created by the printing process, however sometimes some slip through. These are light & can be easily removed during your sanding process.

COLOUR: Print colour varies & you may receive a different colour to that pictured or a mix of colours.

PRODUCT CARE

Shape Cutters are heat sensitive. They are formed by melting PLA to then cool into their shapes & such can be undone the same way - they don't like heat over 50 degrees or prolonged exposure where heat can build up.

Do not:
Leave cutters in direct sunlight, near heat sources, in your car on a hot day or put in the dishwasher.

Do:
Clean with warm, soapy water & a soft tooth brush.
Wipe between uses with a baby wipe, rubbing alcohol or similar.

Store:
A cool space is ideal, such as drawers, stacked containers. Pegboards are great however do ensure the sun magnified through a window doesn't hit them!

Deboss & Stack cutters are a set of one main "Debossing" cutter & then matching cutters to fill the imprint left behind. These are complex cutters & not recommended for beginners. 

Notes on using DEBOSS & STACK cutters:

  • Deboss cutters take some learning, we recommend practising on scrap clay first.
  • They are designed for thinner than normal 1.8 - 2.1mm thick
  • They work well on clay the thickness of the"2" setting on an Atlas pasta machine or using Polly Collective Small Guides.
  • Thickness will be the challenge, if you're having issues, try thinner.
  • You will likely need a release agent. Water works for Premo & Souffle. Try cornflower for other brands. Mist the cutter with water then cut (misting bottles)! The water acts as a non-stick agent & can be sprayed direct onto a slab if you want. 
  • They are designed to be layered or filled with liquid clay, the 3d imprint may not be perfect. If you would like to smooth away imperfections, use a little isocol on a cottontip.

 

SIZE: Size is the 'inner' of the cutter & will be the size of the resulting shape cut out (not the internal cut out). All sizes are as accurate as possible but allow for a +/- 0.5mm variance.
