If you annealed it before the stamp it would do wonders as well. If I come across any ill try and run a test for you.

That it the way it comes. When recieved it is already annealed as much as is possible. I once got some that was made for the actual roofing surface and that needed to be annealed before you could do anything with it. The best place to find it is a metal recycling as it is hard to come by and ridiculous price instead of the already high daily metal price.

I’ve done similar embossing with just a C clamp. I case the leather then apply pressure with the clamp for about 20 minutes. The largest I’ve done so far is about an inch and a half. They came out sharp and clean.

Thx @cynd11, I was surprised how well they turned out 
I just need to figure out how to make my own greyscale depth images so I can sell the things I’m making lol.
Thx @jaltschuld
Thx @ptodd It really opens up some possibilities that I wasn’t aware were possible.

So I got a glowforge to cut my leather but was still using my 3d printer for making stamps. This process of making stamps really makes me curious, is there a how to ommake stamps like these somewhere? I didn’t invest in a clicker press instead use a cheap arbor press from harbor freight

It’s just a reverse engrave – you engrave the parts you DON’T want stamped. I can’t recall whether there’s an actual tutorial, but searching the forum for “reverse engrave” should bring up enough information to help you figure it out, and if you get stuck, we’re always here to help. 
I’ve done a little playing with the concept, despite not having any kind of press – I hammered mine. EDIT: Oops, no this time I used my Cricut Cuttlebug. But I’ve hammered them too, and it works fine.

You can get interesting results with 3d depth map images and even with some electron microscope images.
Here is a topic I made playing around with a few of them in wood. As @geek2nurse Mentioned you may need to use the negative of those images to get the desired results and mirrored.
With my latest ones the key was quick passes adjusting down my focal height as I went.

I am looking to make something similar to the acrylic stamps he has, I have my leather makers mark I am trying to create a stamp from but running into issues with the Web App. You on the Discord server per chance? Easier to show what I mean there.
Sugarbeard on it

I mentioned above I was creating a makers mark stamp in Delrin and had to make 40 very light passes to keep from melting the Delrin. It might be easier to make it reversed and just melt the Delrin and pour it in.

Better to start your own discussion specific to your issue than to resurrect an old thread that was intended to showcase their work, not issues with the UI. You’re unlikely to attract much discussion related to UI problems here.
