Hello,
Here is the October 2011 project I created for VCarve Pro 6 and Aspire 3 owners. It is a FREE download, courtesy of Vectric!
http://www.vectric.com/WebSite/Vectric/projects/oct-2011/cookie-stamps.htm
Make your own “cookie factory” with these fun Cookie Stamps! The project features nine cookie stamp designs plus a convenient rack to store your stamps. Kids and adults alike can have a great time “stamping” decorative cookies!
The designs are V-carved into DuPont™ Corian® but any solid-surface machinable countertop material will do. Cast acrylic would work also, but please avoid non-cast acrylic plastics, as these tend to melt when machined. Sources for solid-surface material include cabinet shops, eBay, or you can order 10" x 10" samples directly from Dupont (see source page). I used ¼" -thick material, but ½" is fine, as well. (Remember to alter the material thickness in the Cookie_Stamps.crv file if you use a thickness other than the specified ¼" ).
The overall dimensions of the assembled project are 13" L x 5" D x 4¼" H.
• I created the design/layout using Vectric's VCarve Pro 6 software. The project is compatible with VCarve Pro 6 and Aspire 3 (or newer versions)
• I used a ShopBot PRSAlpha BT48 to run this project and the toolpath settings were specifically for that machine and bits I used. You can make changes to suit your particular machine, bits, etc.
I used the following bits...
All V-Carves: 90° V-Bit
Cut Profiles: 1/4" Down-Cut EM
Apply the finish of your choice. Here’s what I used on the sample Festive Cookie Stamps project made from Maple and Oak:
• Minwax Natural stain #209 (on stand only)
• Food-Safe clear finish on all wood
NOTE: No finish is applied to the Corian stamp surface
Special thanks to ShopBot and Vectric for making this project possible!
