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 Brilliant! 💾
@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!
