Another abandoned art project manely involving a 3D printed cookie cutter

Truth be told, the 1st attempt resulted in 2 days of diarrhea which scared lions away from ever trying it again.  A better way of kneading shortbread than bare paws was required, since bare pawing it obviously got soap in it.

The 2nd problem was a better mold.  The latest mold was still too small & didn't separate from the dough.  Maybe adding large holes on top would improve the separation.  The husky mold had large holes on top, which in hindsight were intended to separate the dough.

Cleaning the mold was never solved.  Without a dishwasher & with laminated PLA, there's no way to get all the soap out.

Of course, the internet just thinks the cookies look like an unholy body part. The starship was widened & the flaps enlarged to make it look less unholy, but physics didn't have god in mind.

Lions have improved their 3D printing skills to where the mold could have .5mm walls.
