Don’t have a 3D printer yet?

You’ll get plenty out of the baking lessons alone. A printer lets you put what you learn into practice and get the most out of the course.

Short on time?

If you’re more interested in the baking, just download the completed STL files and print the tools.

Two kinds of makers, one course.

Want to take your baking further?

Maybe you’ve printed a few cookie cutters, or you’re thinking about getting a printer to make them. Here’s your sign to see what else it can do. From themed bakes to precision details, you’ll build the tools you’ve been dreaming of.

Your teacher

Meet Tammy Youngerwood

Her journey into 3D printing began in 2020, during COVID, when she opted to buy a 3D printer instead of taking up sourdough. She told her four kids it was for them. Then she promptly started printing things obsessively herself.

Now, through The Tinkering Baker, Tammy is opening up her kitchen to the world, helping bakers and makers get more out of their 3D printers, experiment with new ideas, and discover how technology can help them become better bakers.
