Gingerbread house cutter set, adjusts for dough thickness

Cut every piece of a gingerbread house from one rolled-out sheet. The set has cutters for the walls, gable ends, two roof panels and a door, plus two rolling guides so the dough comes out an even thickness. Change the house size or the dough thickness to suit your tray.

Notes
Whole set at the defaults: about 101 g and 2 h 46 min at 2 walls and 15% infill (3 walls and 15%: about 107 g, 2 h 58 min). Every piece fits a 180 mm bed at the defaults. At the largest sliders the roof and wall cutters reach 222 mm and need a 256 mm bed. PLA keeps the 1.2 mm blades stiff. Use PETG

Assembly

  1. Set the Dough thickness slider to the thickness you will roll. Every cutter, the roof correction and the guides follow it, and each cutter's label shows it.
  2. Lay the two rolling guides either side of the dough and roll until the pin rides on both guides.
  3. Cut 2 gables, 2 side walls, 1 roof A and 1 roof B. Press each cutter straight down until the flange meets the dough, then push the panel out between the bars.
  4. Optional: press the door cutter into one gable, centred on its bottom edge, and bake the door piece separately.
  5. After baking, stand the gables at the front and back and set the side walls between them. The outer faces meet flush at the corners.
  6. Ice roof B on first, its top edge at the ridge. Then lay roof A so its extra length covers roof B's top edge.

Good to know

  • Not certified food-safe. Wash before use, or cut through baking paper. Printed layers can trap dough, so clean them well and do not put PLA cutters in the dishwasher.
  • The thickness correction assumes the baked panels are as thick as the rolled dough. Dough that spreads or puffs in the oven changes the fit, so trim warm panels against the cutter if needed.
  • At pitches other than 45° the square-cut roof edges leave a small wedge under the ridge for icing to fill: up to 1.7 mm at 35° or 55° with 5 mm dough, and 2.1 mm with 6 mm dough.
  • The rolling guides are 170 mm long. At large house sizes, roll the sheet in two passes.
  • The 1.2 mm blades are made for soft dough. Do not use them on hard or chilled dough.
