Embossed Leather Patches W/ 3D Printer - How To!

- In this video I show a really simple way to make custom leather patches using a 3D printer and a bench vise. This is a great way to make custom apparel using leather! I use google sketchup to make the logo and a Makerbot 3D printer to print the stamp.
If you dont have a 3d printer you could have your stamp printed by one of the online 3d printing companies like Shapeways.

I have never wanted a 3D printer until I watched this. Thank you
Badger Workshop You need to get the Fusion 360 to do the modeling its awesome.
I have a 3D printer, as well as Sketch up software, however, I have been looking for a company to print my logo in brass thinking that was the only way to emboss leather. You proved I have what it takes to make it myself! Thanks for that!
Very nice. Add a simple cleat to your backer boards to stop the boards from dropping through the vice. Perfect location every time...
I can't thank you enough. I was trying to make a simple stamp using just sketchup for ages. I had no idea the 3d text tool was there! This launched me lightyears into what I needed. Thank you!!!
Nice, practical use of 3d printing, and a heck of a result! Good job explaining everything to the viewers on how to go from nothing to design, to tool, and ultimately final product!
Great instructional video. Thank You! I didn’t think that plastic would take that much pressure. Learned something.
I love this. So tip from someone with a Prusa I3 clone: I would have just printed right onto the wood. Just secure the wood to your print bed, then calibrate your Z axis to the top of the wood. Turn off raft and print. If you are concerned about the plastic sticking to the wood, you can just go hotter and slower on your first layer.
That's a much easier process than I thought it would be be. Looks nice!
That's a great use for even a small 3d printer. One of those "why didn't I think of that?" moments.
Awesome, have multiple 3d printers and always looking for something cool to do. thanks !
Looking for 3d embossing stamps that are not on the market,interested
Dude, phenomenal video. Making stamps was my strange foray into the design and engineering world. I cannot wait to get my 3D printer. I have a few industrial sewing machines and out of all materials I have worked, veg tan leather is so satisfying to play around with. Incredible results brother. You have a great channel too! Keep up the great work. Definitely subscribing! -Nick
Thanks! I've used Sketchup before but not for this. Great idea! I want to echo another comment: use an arbor press! That vise is applying way too much pressure and is distorting the impression. With an arbor press, the leather lays flat and can be positioned precisely. Secondly, the leather needs time to absorb water into the fibers. Let it sit until it starts to turn back to the original color, then it's ready. You should not have to hold it in the press for more than 15 to 20 seconds. If the impression has a nice darker brown burnish to the impression, the moisture level was just right.
thank you. You video is really great and as helpful as can be.
Super cool looking patch. I'm inspired. I'm gonna try making a template outta hard maple on my cnc and see if it works. Thanks for the idea and inspiration.
Fantastic tutorial, thanks. Going to try this with my Glowforge and see what I can come up with by combining your embossing technique with some laser cutting.
That's sweet. Hadn't thought of using my 3D printer for that.
Just a GREAT instructional video. So well done. I'm thinking about taking a second shot at 3D printing after a bit of a frustrating first encounter a few years ago. One of the things that I remember was that the material that was popular at the time (PLA?) was NOT suitable for creating liquid containers and I was wondering if there was a preferred media that should be selected for making embossing/debossing stamps? I'd like to know this as I'm shopping for my next 3D printer so I can make sure that it will handle it.
Save a bit of time - no need to clamp for 10 minutes. There is very little bounce back from compressed leather fibres, so you should be good to go after simply applying the amount of pressure you desire. This is a really cool setup, and is a much more affordable way of getting into embossing than having stamps custom made for you by someone else.
Is there a specific kind of filament that works better for this? A type that stands up better to repeated use, or makes crisper lines for finer details? Seems like it's time to invest in a 3D printer!
Very nice video BRO!! thank you!
Great idea! And nice channel, Subscribed👍
Thanks!! Definitely will be trying this
I have had a 3D printer for two years and never thought the ABS I use would stand up to embossing. What was your infill on the 3D print. I would imaging 100% since you are putting a tremendous amount of force on it. I use my printer for making makers stamps for ceramic artists. They stamp their marks into leather hard pots. Works really well. (PS: If you did not print with a raft, your letters and frames would simply have fallen apart coming off the bed.)
Bruce Brachman I printed this on maker bots “high” quality setting with a 10mm layer height and a %15 infill, my printer always clogs when I try and do %100. I think the pattern I use is about 1/8” squares. I will check my 3D printing software and get back to you on the infill pattern. But I’ve made many of these stamps and made hundreds of leather patches with no issues. The wood even develops a depression to better match the stamp over time. Go to 5:16 in the video to see the screen of my 3D print settings.
Didn't you have to heat the leather for it to make it work?
Will the appearance last permanently or it will start to "undone" it self it time?
Hreat video, thank you!
I've thought about doing this for hats but worried that the plastic would be too soft. Do you know how many times are you able to use one 3d printed piece? Does the plastic deform or lose clarity/crispness over multiple presses?
Would also love to do this for my barbershop business. Willing to pay for a stamp
Awesome idea. Thanks.
Does it have to be leather? Does this process work with other materials?
Very good
Really cool man
For those of you 5:50
Heyyy!!! I'm inspired by your posts🙃
Awesome 👍
What is the infill % on the stamp?
what would you charge to make one of those for my companies logo? dont have 3D printer
Could you share the link to get the leather? Great info BTW!
Awesome!
Awesome 👌✅🖤
Hello, can you tell me what glue you use to adhere them to the hat? Thank you!
Where do I get the 3D printer
how long will this embossed effect last??
where can I order some of those "make every thing" sticks with the saw blade?
Cool!
What brand leather glue do you use?
why dont you put a box ontop of the design when you extruded it? then you just need to flip it 180° and print it flat face down, this would make for a more resiliant stamp thats not designed to fall apart
Do you sell patches buyvthe quantity
oof thats cool
Would you ever consider making the stamp for someone? I don't have a 3d printer but would be willing to pay for a stamp for my knife brand. Let me know!! Thanks
Yeah of course! Send me an email well chat about it!
Nice! I made a leather bracelet using this method. I have a video about it if you are interested.
Just say... Thanks
i want one

Looking for 3d stamps for my hobby, willing to make and sell
Why not invest $100 or less in a 1 ton arbor press and pay Augustine Dies $25 or so for them to make you a legit magnesium stamp. No fiddling around with a bench vice trying to halfway get it straight. At least using an arbor press, you can see EXACTLY where you're putting your stamp.
@Imperia La Roccia, maybe because with $25.00 word of filament you can make several stamp. However, you can always make the stamp to fit the arbor press. I don't know, but that is what I think his reasoning could be. I do both, 3D printing and milling, and this video, and those were they make press dies, makes me want to try it. It has to be good at least for emergencies.
That easy? I thought it would be harder. Just some water and pressure.
