Has anyone found successful settings for creating an acrylic stamp to use on leather? I’d love to hear what worked for you!
If you utilize the search function and input 'leather stamp" you will find what others have done
I have done that. Thanks!
I have made a few stamps for leather using acrylic. Certainly can’t tell you what my settings were because I just used the pre-sets for engraving 1/4" acrylic. I can say however, that I did at least two passes.
Thank you. I have been trying a few and looking on YT.
I used a raster piece of art, and the default 3D setting (that won’t come up if you use a vector). It worked beautifully.
I can’t tell if the issue with the one you made using the stamp setting won’t work because it’s not deep enough, or something else. The thing with leather is that you’re pushing material away or sucking it up - as opposed to laying down a layer of ink, so tiny tiny lines are never going to show - but I don’t see why the remainder of that stamp wouldn’t work.
I used medium material with the 3D settings (long before the stamp settings existed
The settings would just be the usual acrylic settings; the fact it will be used on leather doesn’t change that. Here’s one I did a few years ago using PG acrylic and the built-in settings:
I’m making a leather mask for my Hubs, and he wanted his old USAF command logo on the piece that goes across the mouth. I tried making it from Delrin, because I had seen a really nice-looking stamp on the forum made from it, but when I tried to cut my rather thick (1/2") piece, all I got was scary flame and lots of melty mess. So I went with PG medium acrylic instead, reverse-engraved the logo, and used my Cricut Cuttlebug to do the embossing. It worked out great!!! The circle is 1.75" in diamet…
