I make LOTS of stamps with my cnc... a suggestion would be to do a two stage carve. Use a 30 degree v-bit after using a 1/16 end mill to get the fine details and keep enough meat behind them to keep from being too fragile. its a little more work but i think its worth the effort....(pun intended)
Looks like a pretty good setup to me! That's definitely on my to-do list. I have a branding iron, but it'll be nice to have different sizes and to be able to stamp different materials.
If I had to do it again I'd do a bunch of reliefs and then a silicon pour. I think that would make a better "pad" and it'd be easy to do a bunch of characters so you could do stamp stop motion... be a funner video too.
Interesting. I have made stamps on my 3d printer out of pla, but I found that a lot of pressure is needed. There are more elastic materials that folk use, but alas not as cheap as $1. Kinda wondered if you could engrave the product, a branding that would live on with the tool. With a jig you could do multiple squares, perhaps using a font size that would not matter if the jig was a few millimetres out on some of them. You could flash over with spray paint & sand off leaving the paint only in the recess of the engraving. I imagine this would be a pleasing look to both you & the buyer who could display the tool in their own videos or what ever, giving you additional marketing, the sort of stuff established manufactures always do with their products. Thanks for sharing!
wortheffort Sorry if I confused you. What I was suggesting is that you put the squares on your cnc after you have made them, or the horizontal blank & have the cnc engrave your logo on to each one. With a jig you could load several & have the cnc carve each one, then flash with paint spray, rub down & you have a branded product that will be advertised for you when ever a buyer uses one of the squares in their video. Hope that clarifies it for you.
Why not make one out of Brass that can be heated up and then branded on your work? I've been looking for someone in the UK who make these branding irons but they're charging fsr to much for a 1.5"×1" piece of brass or aluminium! You should make them for the market with general word's such as Merry Christmas, Hand Made, Made with Love!.... etc.... you know what I mean! lol.👍 😆 👌
wortheffort Oh! I see what you mean... I've seen someone connect them to a Soldering Iron they seem to keep their heat! But they would make a mess of the wrapping paper! The ink version is alot more useful on different surfaces! 👍😉👍
You had a closeup of the block, loaded with ink, just about to apply to the paper......and then you cut-away...and showed a picture from far away. Got something to hide?

I thought you were going to stamp the product itself so I'd remember where it came from, but hey it does make the packaging much cooler. Very nice!
I like it. Thanks for sharing. I hope that flying wedge didn't go too far!
Where do you get the pad?

You could reduce needed pressure by making stamping surface slightly cylindrical and rolling the stamp
pektorijs Thank you, I will try that idea next time I am trying to make stamps.
I'm afraid ya lost me. Making a stencil?

thats a fucking neat application of a cnc
what bit type?
Could you advice the material CNC can use to make stamp?
You can search stamp making material. You can use lots of different stuff.
Hello are you doing any commissions I need a custom stamp
Stick a rubber pad or leather before cutting it for better printing
Gonna turn a handle for it too?
maybe
Next project may be a tape dispencer😉
With your own stamps you can make a chemical "branding iron" like this: ruclips.net/video/3K4J7yn7ga0/видео.html

I've found brands take forever to heat up. Tend to do these things in batches.

The blade of the French square is in wrong way, the curved end should be on the outside of the square
WootTootZoot that’d make it less accurate as yo don’t reference the inside, ever.
To this day, it's a dream of mine to own a quality CNC machine. Sadly the cheapest one is half my annual salary. Sucks in the third world.

awesome. but nothing wrong in delivering a great product with minimal pkging. pkging is garbage plain and simple
Thanks
Inkredible.
ugh....
