Made Delrin stamps on Glowforge to stamp leather.

Beautiful and impressive!

Those details came out SHARP! That’s awesome.

[ellencadwell]

The details came out fantastic! Nice design!

I’m so impressed with the crisp detail you are able to get.

@shrumgraphics

Delrin

Thanks, I wasn’t sure what that was.

I have not yet done anything 3d on the glowforge yet. Is it easy to set up?

[deirdrebeth]

As long as your art is a raster and not a vector, it’s one of the click options (including an extra deep that runs twice)

[jotinpro]

Thanks! I’ve only done vector work on here so far.

[deirdrebeth]

I mostly use vectors too, but to get that 3D shading it’s raster all the way

Model Demo of Engraving levels with GF anyone?

[image] Using the low res file found here, medium draftboard, proofgrade settings. 15 minutes. The original was done on thick walnut, so two passes would result in much more depth. Also, theirs was much larger, and with the higher res. original file, you’d have much more detail. I made it small because of the lack of resolution. You can barely read the upper banner text in the file, or make out detail on the blasters. [image]

Very nice! How hard did you push the stamps?

[shrumgraphics]

Not to much

Thanks, I wasn’t sure what that was.

Delrin is a really strong thermoplastic that’s laser safe. It works great for stamps, but FWIW, you can also get good results using thick acrylic too. So don’t let not having any Delrin around stop you from playing with stamps. (I’d still use Delrin if making a stamp for long-term use as it’s more durable, though.)

Beatiful work as always. You have gotten the stamping cuts down perfectly!

Beautiful! I always enjoy your posts.
