Clay Earring Template Generator
Create mirrored clay earring cutter pairs in one click. Match left and right pieces down to the millimeter and export watertight STL files.
Design matching earring sets in three steps
No more mismatched left/right drops. CutClay does the mirroring for you.
Pick your shape
Open any earring shape — teardrops, arches, drops, hanging shapes — or import your own SVG (Pro).
Set size and blade
Set the exact size in mm, the blade depth and the blade thickness. The 3D model updates in real time.
Export the Pair
Toggle “Mirrored Pair” and set the gap. Click Export to download the left and right cutters side by side, mirrored.
The beauty of symmetrical earring design
For asymmetrical jewelry designs like organic curves, abstract face silhouettes, or sweeping teardrops, you need a left and a right earring. Manually mirroring models in slicer software can lead to sizing and alignment mistakes, resulting in mismatched pairs that hang crookedly.
CutClay’s Mirrored Pair export generates a matched pair of cutters in a single step. Both pieces are mirrored down to the millimeter, so your earrings hang straight and balanced every time.
Mirrored Pair export is available on the free tier, giving you 3 free exports (lifetime total) to try it out.
Earring Cutter Print Settings
Recommended slicing profiles for polymer clay earring cutters.
Nozzle Size
A 0.4mm nozzle is standard, but a 0.2mm nozzle is recommended for intricate, tiny studs to print extremely sharp edges.
Layer Height
Use 0.12mm to 0.15mm. Thinner layers reduce dragging when pulling the cutter out of soft polymer clay.
Wall Count
Use at least 3 perimeters so the thin cutting blade prints solid and doesn’t flex under hand pressure.
Filament
Rigid PLA or PLA+ is ideal. It keeps the fine cutting walls stiff so they do not flex during hand pressure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does CutClay add jump ring holes?
Not yet. Cut the shape, then punch or drill the jump ring hole yourself, at least 3mm from the edge so the clay doesn’t tear.
How does Mirrored Pair export work?
It generates a single STL file containing two cutters placed side-by-side: the original design and its mirrored counterpart, separated by an adjustable gap (5mm by default).
What size should jump ring holes be?
A 1.2–1.5mm hole fits most 20-gauge and 18-gauge jump rings.
Do I need to buy shapes?
No. Our full shape library (geometrics, arches, botanicals, etc.) is completely free to design and experiment with.
