A few weeks ago, a friend asked me if you could 3D print cookie cutters, and indeed you can. Much easier than bending your own copper! Then this week when looking for a design to test the setup of a new printer, that seemed like as good a choice as any. And Thingiverse, the repository of shared 3D printer design files, has a bevy of geektastic cookie cutters ready to print—here are just a few:
User theo has a whole set of geeky cookie cutters: The Apple, Arch Linux, and Open Hardware logos; a floppy disk; and a Pac-Man ghost.
Open hardware geeks can also print a cookie cutter of the Arduino logo or the Raspberry Pi logo.

Other Geekery
Don’t forget to use a food safe filament when printing. (and thanks, I’ll probably end up with a whole bunch of these soon).
