Hi everyone,

I’ve been working with the FlashForge Finder for the past 6 weeks - it’s the first 3D printer I’ve tried and I love it! It prints in PLA so it’s food safe, and easy to use. The FlashForge Finder is new (ish), and we’ve had a few hitches with prints and specific types of filaments, but on the whole it’s been working really well, produces very detailed and high quality prints.

I wanted to share the 3d printed vintage inspired cookie cutters I’ve been designing for bakers! Here is my Etsy store the “Sweet Impression Shop”: SweetImpressionShop - Etsy Canada

If anyone has tips or requests for future 3d printed cookie cutters, please let me know! :slight_smile:

Nice job! I love the cookie cutters!

I just wouldn’t recommend a brass nozzle to prints used with food.

Thank you! :slight_smile:

I hadn’t thought about the brass nozzle, and will have to double check which one I’m using now (I’ve made a few changes to the finder). Which type of nozzle would you recommend, stainless steel?

Thanks for your tips!

I would recommend a stainless steel nozzle but I am not expert.

Thanks Lucika29!!

Stainless steel would indeed be better. Particularly with some mid-ranged to low-end brass nozzles, the metal composition can actually contain trace amounts of lead, whereas stainless steel nozzles wouldn’t really have this as an issue.

This is great advice, thank you both! I’m going to double check what we have on the printer now.

Have either of you worked with the stainless steel nozzle on a FlashForge, and if so have you noticed any performance differences between that and the standard brass one it comes with?
