This was my first attempt with a 3d printed stamp. Worked great!
How did you do the shading? I've never done leatherwork.
I went over the stamp with blue sharpie and wet the leather with water and a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. When you compress the stamp into the leather with a press the alcohol reactivates the ink in the recesses.
I've made a couple of stamps (my maker's mark and an icosahedron (d20), mostly for accents on a project I was working on at the time), but nothing this ambitious. I can't get over how nice the texturing came out; well done!
Can you edit in the actual stamp? The end result is good, but can you also show the 3d printed thing?
Here's a picture of the stamp.
It's just a 3mm thickness disc with the picture on the top at 2mm. I use a 6 ton shop press to compress it with a 1" steel plate used to distribute the force. The print is a no name brand black PLA printed at 0.2 at the fast setting on an AnkerMake M5. You can also see the residual ink, the stamping only takes a small amount. I did a few at one time without having to reapply.
Frog Samurai?
I do believe his name is Glenn.
One of my favorite character and was the inspiration for the stamp for sure.
Oh that looks cool, is this to stamp things you're making or just playing with it for fun?
I make some small things for gifts and being able to make a custom stamp for a few uses is a cool concept.
Thats delightful!
Nice! I have thought about doing something like this, but haven’t yet.
Would you mind if I asked you how you transferred the drawing to 3D? I use fusion360, and the process can be a bit finicky.
Ideally I would like to take a drawing and convert it into a stamp
For sure. I just dragged and dropped the jpg into 3d Builder. That program is rudimentary but if it is a simple drawing it does a great job creating a model.
Awesome. Thank you
