The MakeWithTech channel teaches people how to use desktop technology to create, innovate and make things. If you are a "maker" and want to learn more about 3d Printing, 3d Printers, 3d Printing Slicers, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Laser Engravers, or 3d Modeling, this is a place you should visit often. The channel includes additional content about using a wood lathe, woodworking, and programming single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi, Adafruit Circuit Playground, ESP32, and Python. Available reviews are about Prusa, Creality, Monoprice, ANET, Flsun, Fokoos, JG Maker, Solvol, and Flashforge 3d Printers. Slicers covered include MatterControl, Cura, PrusaSlicer, Flashprint, and IdeaMaker. CAD design videos cover TinkerCAD, FreeCAD, OpenSCAD, and Shapr3D. Laser Engravers from Ortur, XTool, and Creality are featured in videos.

I'm glad you covered the food safety concerns first!

Irv videos have the benefit of teaching you something and putting a smile on your face at the same time. Thanks for the great vid!!

[moniquebarker]

Irv, what a great video. Your instructions are so complete; I love that. I've been casually interested in 3D printing for years, but you've convinced me to take the leap. I plan to start with cookie cutters but already have another product in mind. Thanks so much!!!

This method is also amazing to create customized lettering or logos. You just have to print the phrase/word, spread some SMD LED´s and then fill the inner part of the prints with Epoxy resin, coloured/frosted are the best. Thank you for this video, please never stop doing them.

[ingzimmerman]

Happy to see you still alive and KICKING.

[nunopenaspt]

Thank you very much Irv, your videos are always inspirational and the way you teach (the way to do it). I've been a scuba diving instructor and I try to teach my students the same way you teach us. I would like to meet you in person on day, as I can tell how such an amazing person you are. Big hug from Portugal.

Thank you very much sir, im grateful for your hard work to make this a bit simpler.👍

[jeffpower]

The video was just what I was looking for. Thanks.

[michaelgraff]

Wooden cutting boards generally handle small nicks and cuts better than plastic ones.

Other than that, I agree totally with your breakdown.

[vinzflores]

Nicely done irv.🎉
As always your videos are very informative and full of passion

[braddixon]

wow, a video hot off the press so goes the saying. great video and capability for finding your own designs and how to use your cool software to turn them into stl files. great stuff Irv, thanks for sharing!

[DGEOPrints]

I LOVE the Enthusiasm.. you hype me up every time LOLOL

[sylc]

I was just curious if it was still possible to add your own SVG to this cookie cutter machine. When you go to select the sample it says "no available options".

[jamesmuscato]

Good day.
Thank you so much your video help this past year.
I’m having trouble downloading and processing a cookie cutter.
I am able to bring up my svg Perrypiratecookie cutter under the preview of the cookie cutter. (I have adjusted and saved the dimensions) But when I generate the new cutter it processes as the rabbit.
What am I missing. I haven’t been able to see my process mistake.
Thank you.

[michaelmorrow]

I'm good at working with the machines I have and there not much but thanks to Dr vax I can say I can take these pitiful machines and out do yours hands down and have fun while I'm doing it I've learned a lot but wouldn't be here without this channel there's so much fluff about 3d printing he's always str8 to the business gotta go getting ready for the flea market thanks again

[jessaguilar]

7:58 what type or brand of polyurethane would you recommend

[Appregator]

You are enthusiastic about cookies Irv. Haha, it's a pity I saw your channel after my late wife passed on which who very enthusiastic about making ginger bread cookie shapes.

Dear Irv, this is amazing! I tried this out with my new 3D printer, just in time for the holidays! I am so sad to see that the website is however shutting down. I do have two questions:
1) Re: custom models: I noticed the template rounds sharp edges in the shape (say if I have a star with sharp corners, this template changes my original svg file and now I get a star with rounded corners). Still nice, but unexpected. Is there a way to disable this option?

2) Re: website service: I just joined the 3D printer community and as a n00b, i found your videos very useful! since the service will be shutting down, will there be another way to contact you/the service for support and questions?

[solman]

Irv, great information as always. The only disappointment was that you didn't bite the ears off of the bunny cookie 😁

[dbobbyg]

Awesome way how to teach. Funny, down to earth, grounded and basic. Had a couple of laughs in the mean time too. Thanks Irv!
Can you use your platform to create stamps and embossers?
