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.

About This Design

Where tradition meets the studio

Pullu Damla means scaled drop. A teardrop silhouette is filled entirely with overlapping rows of pointed oval forms, arranged in a widening spread from the tip downward before gathering again to a point at the base. Each scale sits just over the one below it, building a rhythmic layered texture across the whole surface. This rumi polymer clay cutter draws from the feathered palmet and scale compositions found in Ottoman manuscript borders and architectural tilework, where repetition of a single unit creates visual complexity without chaos.

The scale pattern is one of the oldest organising principles in Ottoman surface design. It appears in Iznik ceramics, silk kaftans, and stone relief carving across five centuries of craft tradition.
