Rubber Stamp Workshop

Create your custom stamp completely from scratch using the Carvera (Air) with the 4th axis and laser module.

Warning when using the Laser: Lasers can be dangerous! Take care of appropriate safety precautions. Use laser safety goggles, prevent unauthorized access. Make yourself familiar with proper filtration of the potentially toxic fumes coming out of the rubber / wood.

You will need:

Materials:

20 mm thick wood
Stamp rubber sheet suitable for laser engraving
Double sided vhb tape
Self tapping wood screw 3x16mm
Wood glue

Tools:

Drill 2mm
Power drill
CNC Machine
Laser module
4th axis module
3.175mm x 25mm endmill
3.175 x 0.25 mm ball nose (a bigger sized or a v-bit will also work, you have to adapt in the CAM Software)

Software:

Freecad: Included is the Freecad file with the complete parametric history, so you can change the size for your text or logo. There is also the toolpath for the handle body in the cam module.
Inkscape: To design the text/logo and prepare for the laser
Rayforge: To create the laser toolpath
Makera Cam: To create the 4th axis toolpath for the round grip.
