paulrickardsTried 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.

@billgoats Now I'm curious about printing wax seal stamps like the ones you use.
@paulrickards Oh, that'd be fun! I wonder how the heat of the melted wax would be against the stamp. I get my wax sticks off ebay; they're not very expensive and have a wick down the middle like a candle.
@billgoats It's possible it might deform the stamp. I'm attaching the TPU stamp to the handle with hot glue and that's enough to deform the PLA.
@paulrickards Or it might meld together. Or you do need to wait for the wax to cool before you lift the stamp off, so that might just take a long time... will be interesting to find out!
4bz@paulrickards @billgoats do it and report back. I'm curious what filament would work best
Usually seals are done in metal to suck the heat from the wax quickly. So you'd need something with good thermal conductivity
