All sizes listed are approximate and given in millimetres. Minor variation is normal and part of the handcrafted nature of 3D printed cutters.

Clay thickness and slab preparation will vary depending on the design. As a general starting point, I work at approximately 3mm for most of my designs. More intricate, high-detail work may benefit from a thinner slab. Condition your clay thoroughly and press firmly and evenly for the cleanest result.

Rinse your cutter with warm water after use and allow to air dry completely before storing. Avoid acetone, harsh solvents, or prolonged heat exposure as these can affect the material over time. Store flat or upright in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
