Proof of concept model for cutting clay pieces all at once. Its not all that practical compared to printing the pieces.

This is pretty self-explanatory but you will need some polymer clay skills to do a good job (and hopefully better than I did in the photo).
Roll out some polymer clay as flat as you can, about 3mm thickness. Use the cutter to split it up into a complete set of pentominoes arranged in a 6x10 rectangle with dimensions 3x5cm. Since the clay will be stuck, gently push the plunger to extract the pieces. You may also need to stiff card such as a credit card to jiggle the pieces off the plunger. Some kind of non-stick coating like cornstarch might also help.
Update (13-May-2026): I have added a larger cutter with a unit size of 7mm (70x42mm total). This preserves the wall thickness and plunger gaps with scaling.
The surface you press against is important to get a clean cut. I found that an overhead transparency worked very well. Acetate or a sheet of glass should also be good. I got somewhat decent results with aluminum foil, which has the advantage that you can bake with it if it gets stuck.
It's useful to have a box and I printed the 6x10 box from this pentomino set by another Printables member.
You might ask, why not just print the pentominoes? That's a reasonable suggestion, but the clay pieces have different aesthetics. You could marble them or texture the top and bottom if you're care with the uncured clay. Some of this is beyond my skill left but I plan to try marbling.
