That's pretty darn slick, Vlad! I am wondering if you have to do something to make the imprint area dark like that or does it get that way naturally? EDIT: Disregard that question. I forgot that you heat the die.
I've been eyeing a 3D printer for some time now, just waiting for the market to shake out and see who is going to be around for the long haul in terms of support.
Right on, nicely done! Aren't 3D printers cool??!! I have a Flashforge too and love it! My cad program of choice is Tinkercad. Super fun and easy to use. Keep up the great work!
That is really cool.
Can you do up one with skull and crossed swords?
I used google sketchup, I don't print t-shirts but if you do I can make you file with the design in vector.
Looks great, kinda reminds me of the friendly ice cream logo.A member asked me if anyone on the forum made patches, I offered to make one out of heavy leather I have.
Never done any of this kind of work before but it seemed doable, I watched some videos on youtube and used sketchup to design and my 3D printer to make a die.

You put the leather in hot water to make it soft and clamp it in a vise between some blocks of wood and the die.
I wasn't too sure if the plastic die will hold up but it worked
Took 3 times to get the smaller font to print but I think it turned out pretty cool.
PM me if you want one.
Size is 3.5x2 inches.
That is really cool.
