Is there a way to handmake alphabet pasta? I want to make the small pasta the is shaped into letters that is sometimes used for alphabet soup for kids.
It's usually about half a cm in length. And I cannot imagine that if I cut letters out they will keep their shape if they are that small. And it would take ages. I would guess there must be a device you push the pasta through so that it would get the right shape, but cannot find any reference of such a device.
Thank you

That's the exact way alphabet pasta is made in industries, it is called extrusion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_extrusion)
Considering rheology specifications, I think you can repurpose a clay extruder for that, but not sure if there is an alphabet attachment for the tip. Mind that it is only productive if you are going to make a LOT pasta since you're going to make a lot of the same letter before moving on to the next.

@R.. 3D printing generally doesn't create food-safe items, even if the polymer itself is food-safe. Porosity is an issue and some sort of glaze/smooth coating that is itself food-safe and stable will be needed.

They're more expensive than clay extruders, but even if you DIY your extrusion tips you probably should start with a pasta extruder so that all the other parts of your system are food safe.
