When choosing your image make sure it works well as a pure black and white image and does not have too many small details. The thickness of your thinnest lines should be greater than nozzle size of your extruder. ![]() This ensures that the design will print cleanly and not get lost during slicing. Since Christmas is coming up, I chose this image of a Christmas tree. If you don’t have a suitable vector image you can also use Inkscape to autotrace a bitmap image and turn it into a vector image. I’m using a 4×4×4cm wooden cube from a craft store as a handle for my stamp. You can also buy pre-made round and square traditional stamp handles at craft stores if you want a more traditional look. Of course you can always 3D print a handle for your stamp if you wish. In addition, you will also need glue, some sandpaper or a file, and an ink pad of your choice.I've seen this How can I create a double helix? question but I am here to ask you how to create a double-helix in Inkscape, instead of illustrator. I have tried to achieve this via creating two sine waves (using the Parametric Curves extension) and doing some cutting and colouring-in from there and this is what I’m at at the moment. After this I would create another sine wave with the opposite vertical orientation (which would be the second helix) and go from there. ![]()
