Slothicorn cookie cutter

Given that @slothicorn's community are about to go on a bit of a rebrand away from their kawai side, looking for a new logo, etc., it's about time I made the slothicorn logo thingimajig I'd promised ;)

I'm starting with the Slothicorn Logo outline by @fluffywiggle (whose PNG-to-SVG-into-3d-extrusion model I've published as an independent 3D model under CC, for anyone to modify/reuse, on Vectary, as I was getting tired of rummaging around for a png to convert... I think I'm going to make a little database of parts for reuse in other models using Vectary hehe... )

Then, we need to adjust it slightly for use as a cookie cutter.

This might just be logical to me, but a cookie cutter should cut only the outline of the shape, and the inner decorative parts should be shorter, so that they only impress their shapes onto the cookie, instead of cutting.

So, that's what I'm going to do, make the inner parts shorter than the outer parts by retracting their faces slightly downwards as demonstrated here:

Selected the rainbow of the Slothicorn face, and moved it's upper faces, selected using Select Planar, down 2 mm

After moving the selected faces down by 5mm, we get this:

I've also adjusted the other dimensions to what I think will make a nicely sized cookie. AKA:

4 cm Width X 7 Cm Height X 1.5 Cm Depth

Which means, being moved up by 5mm, the cookie will be impressed by the material if it's bigger than 1 Cm in height, I'd estimate.

Actual bakers can always adjust the sizes to take into account real cookie dimensions, I know nothing in that domain at all. this is just me geeking out with Vectary ;)

Here's the model after that's done :

Then, we add a base that people can grip and use to press the cuter down with.
I choose a simple flat square form.

And, voila.

It'll of course need to be printed in a food safe material / treated to make it food safe, but this should make a pretty nice little cookie cutter I'd say :)
