Tried to make a stamp today with my 3D printer using PLA for the handle and TPU for the stamp. Results are meh. Maybe the flow rates aren’t right which leaves the gaps. I did use the iron feature on the top layer too.

That’s somewhat better. 100% infill (was 20%) and top iron at 20% flow (was 10%). Also using the TPU (85A) manufacturer settings file for Bambu P1S.

@paulrickards is that the “AMS compatible TPU”? If not, did you use it in an AMS?
@pixel No, this isn't compatible with the AMS so I'm feeding it manually from inside a heated enclosure. But the extruder hasn't been able to pull with enough force to make the reel rotate so I have to nudge the wheel to make slack so it feeds properly.
@paulrickards thanks! I just bought a roll for the first time a couple weeks ago and haven’t used it yet so I was curious what shenanigans I was in for 😊

@pixel This is my first time using TPU. It strings a little but otherwise seems OK. It's flexible but not very stretchy.

I left it loaded in the printer overnight and the next morning it broke off in the extruder when I unloaded it. I had to take it apart to clear it. I recommend unloading it when you're finished.

@paulrickards thanks Paul!
