Blank Wax Stamp

thingiverse

This is a blank stamp out of which you can subtract your own design. The result will be a usable wax seal that can be used to seal letters, invitation, and anything else you want. There are wax sticks on the market which you can use with this, as normal candle wax is brittle.

Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator Mini+ Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: 10% Post-Printing How I Designed This Background I designed this in Microsoft's 3D Builder after I became interested in creating and using my own wax seal. Usage Once you download the file, you will need a file of the design that you would like on the seal. You may choose the format, but know that this 2D file will need to be converted to a 3D file later on. When you have the 3D file, import it into the software that you are using and scale the design to the blank template. Subtract the design from the template, making sure the top of the design is on the same side of the nub on the blank stamp. This way you will know which way is up. Print, get some wax, and start stamping. Directions for use: http://www.artofmanliness.com/2013/02/13/wax-seals-a-history-and-how-to/
