Experienced stamper here. 1. You can use embossing powder with ANY pigment or hybrid ink or a watermark inkpad as well. 2. The uneven image may be due to the fact that the stamp is made from plastic, and is non-porous. You may be seeing the result of the ink beading up on the surface of the stamp. 3. It seems like you're having to use a lot of pressure on your stamp. Place a soft surface under your paper, like a few layers of fun foam or a mousepad. That should help you get a cleaner impression.

instead of using sand paper what i did was cover it in baking paper then iron it, that seemed to work well

Love this, thank you! The powder stamp looks amazing.

Mind Blown. As a teacher this is a game changer. Thanks heaps!

My fiance said the same thing. Shes a 5th grade teacher, and when we first tried the stamps she got so excited for all the stamps we could make for next school year.

i love the embossing powder use for a stamp. Wow.

Great simple beginner project. I love it. Thank you.

Very cool nice job! I’m just down in Ocala looking forward to binging more of your videos!

Awesome video. Thanks for the inspiration to make stamps with my 3D printers

Thanks for the Video. I'm also addicted to stamps at the moment and tried 3D filament printing. But the resolution was not high enough for my linearts. After that I wanted to switch rubber and laser engraver which can be a bit dangerous and expensive. But now I'm thinking about a Resin printer. That should fit my needs.

This is amazing. I can’t wait to try this!

These would be 100% perfect for fondant stamps x

The PLA stamps will work better if you dampen the paper first. Well done. If you make the PLA from a filament with a bit more give, may work better.

'Ask me how I know' lol I feel ya

Glad I found this. I was wondering if I needed a flexible rubber like subutrate to do this and am glad to know I don't (though I am probably going to use the most flexible filmament type that suits my printer, all the same, but that still is far less flexible than rubber!). I actually work in an educational maker space, so have had access to a number of printers for several years now, but, Ironirally, have never had anything I ever wanted to print for myself (I have only ever printed stock demo pieces learning the equipment, which is kind of sad 🙁). I have a bunch of self-inking stamps of the flip-about mechanism type (so don't need ink-permeable stamp faces) salvaged from our admin office's waste stream and have always wanted to do custom stamps for them, so I now have something to print for me! 😀

I think I might try this for my Trill spots stamps... thinking of cosplaying some Daxes :)

Been doing that for years. On FDM/FFF we use a smaller nozzle and use a script so the top layer is smoothed out while 3d Printing. Comes out ready to use.

What nozzle size you use? And which printer?

great video, what kind of resin do you material do you need to make the stamp in the da vinci nobel

For the PLA. Would printing vertically have increased the detrail?

so rad!

I fell in love with the address stamp from the beginning...sadly I don't have a resin printer. 😓

Been looking for something like this but more for leather,embossing stamp are for using a press nothing else can you give me idea about the cost.

Hey have you done video as how you designed the stamps?

I have made loads of stamps with photopolymer resin, a negative and a UV lamp. (My channel has whole playlists on it. Stamp making can be addictive!

Trying to find the follow up videos for which programs you used to make these designs and having some troubles :P Am I not looking in the right places or have you not made them yet? Thanks!

This is genius!

Before you stamp for embossing, whipe your surface with an anti-atistatic powder to prevent any of the embossing powder to stick to your surface outside your stamp :-)

I didn't know you could use those inks for embossing. What other inks can I use

EXCELLENT VIDEO Do YOU Sell these stamps? I would like to use a custom stamp for Cookies... Please let me know if you SELL your custom stamps. Thank YOU for sharing this great video

Would this work for soap stamping?

Damn that was beautiful

What about Heat ... can these stamps stand up to melted wax for doing stamps for wax seals?

Custom PCB with the embossing setup?

what program you use for modeling

I came here looking for some tips, because I'm not very satisfied with how a stamp I made is performing. Not really sure why. I think it's because the stamp material (PLA) is too hard to do a good job, but you mention that it worked fine for you (which is interesting). The results I am getting look a bit spongy or stippled looking. I'm kind surprised that I'm getting this symptom, because I did sand the bottom against a flag surface. Maybe it's the kind of ink pad I am using. I got it from an office supply store, not a craft store. Imma gonna keep looking for info on this subject... Thanks for introducing emboss powder. I'm going to have to try that at some point.

Do you have anything to show how to make the 3d file?

What is the printer for resin?

Links to the products you have used? F. ex. I am looking for that powder you used ...

maybe adding some sort of coat on the pla stamp after sanding it? I mean something like whitle glue to make the sourface a little bit more porous?

Hi can you provide the "HOFFMAN STAMP DESIGN" file without your name offcourse? i appreciate very much... i like the design tks

That powder stamp is pretty cool. Stamp yourself a thumb's up. :)

What kind of home printer would you recommend? I'm looking at the Monoprice Maker Select 3D www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B018GZBC3Y/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1 Is this one suitable for making stamps or soap molds?

best 3d printer for making rubber stamps??

I make rubber stamps for living. There's a type of rubber stamps we make from photosensitive resins just like the one for you printer, except that we use masking films and UV light box to expose them. I've just figured that you could use these SLA printers (the LCD based ones) to make the stamps as well. You start off by sandwiching the polymer liquid between two pieces of glass with a damming tape in the middle, the glasses being the size of the platform. You then shine the lights from a UV source onto one side of the glass sandwich for 1 minute (to make the base for your letters) Then bring the other side to the printer and place it right agains the LCD sceen with the image being projected for 1-2 minutes then disassemble the glass sandwich and wash off excess resin. The whole process could be completed in about 5 minutes but this would only work well with the LCD type printers. You're basically bypassing the film/stencil making process by using the printer's screen in its place.

I need silicone stamps to be used as inserts for my resin art. Do you make them? thank you.

you should make the bottom of the stamp slide into a handle. that way it would be easier to use.

I actually did exactly this last year also with PLA and sanding as a friend needed a stamp for her uni project and asked if my printer was capable. designed the handle with a dovetail cutout for interchangeable stamp plates. worked great and stopped from getting fingers messy... well... not in the testing phase... xD

@JessieTehEmoGurl

@@dawnbullock6341 If it's PLA you must make sure you sand it with a very fine grit sand paper and make sure it is really REALLY flat. (My stamps are approx 20x20mm and took about 30-40mins of sanding, washing, testing, re-sanding). If you have sanded them really flat already then i would suggest trying a different ink. either ur current pad is old and drying out (Try adding a few drops of water or fresh ink to it), get a new pad or simply try a different one. I got a cheap black pad off amazon for £1.50 and although the ink quality isn't great it still gave decent enough prints. Hope this helps, good luck! :)

Pigment ink, watch any hand made card videos on embossing.

I literally had a stamp printing as i was watching this video. Just to pass the time waiting for the print. "Be sure to mirror the stamp. Ask me how i know" .... Ouu. Welp.

Question, what did you use to heat up the embossing powder on the paper?

You can definitely engrave rubber, I've been doing that recently for custom stamps as well!

4:05 👏👏👏👏👏👏

In CURA how?

"Ask me how I know." So, how do you know?

Now make embossing plates.

At 1:50 you forget to mention that even after the alcohol rinse, the resin isn't fully cured yet. You still need to do a post print cure, under UV light (sunlight or a lamp). An item of that size would be fully cured after about 30 mins under UV light.
