3D Printed Rubber Stamp
From Open Source Ecology
Basics
- Although they CAN be purchases and even custom made, Rubber Stamps are easily 3D Printable
- A Basic Stamp can be made in two peices
- The flexible stamp itself
- The Handle
- Some also have a spring deployed shroud so it can be placed face down on a surface, even when soaked in ink, without touching it. It only does so once pressed
- Not too neccisary, but may be worth looking into
Howto
- See FreeCAD Lettering Tutorial for how to create extruded letters
- Put a pad under text in FreeCAD, lower than text height
- Add a handle
- Export as STL
- Note that image will be mirrored left to right if stamped as it. Thus - in Cura, Mirror the image. Use Mirror X if appropriate so your text reverses frm let to right
- Print with Flexible 3D Printing Filaments
- Rubber stamp will print correctly with mirrored image.
