Rubber stamp making is one of the things that is often stated as an example of what you can achieve with laser engraving.
However, exactly how I wasn’t sure of or what I’d need actually to make a stamp myself.
But, after my success with testing in my last blog, I knew that I could at least find the perfect settings.
There are a few basic questions about stamp making to answer.
What supplies do you need to make a stamp?
You need a laser engraver, thinking it may be sulking as I’d been using my 3018-Pro CNC quite solidly recently, I went back to my Mandrill CNC Router 3036 with 40W Laser.
You need some rubber stamp material.
When searching Amazon, or other shopping sites for stamp material, you will find 2 main sorts: thick rubber blocks and sheets of thinner rubber, suitable for use with a laser — make sure as always that what you’re going to use is laser safe.
You need something to attach the rubber to, I got some small wooden blocks.
And, of course, you will need your stamp design.
