Hi JC! You are an inspiration, thanks so much for sharing the incredible things you've been doing with me. We can't give authoritative advice for other companies' products as materials can vary between vendors so we're unable to provide settings. Many Glowforge owners have shared their materials and settings in the Glowforge owner's community forum though, you might enjoy this post for example with settings and material links: community.glowforge.com/t/art-laser-polymer-stamps-how-to/27497. -Ellen

What settings did you use?

[@Glowforge]

Hi Miriam! You can find the settings that work best for your material by adjusting the speed and power on your Glowforge printer. We can't give authoritative advice for other companies' products as materials can vary between vendors so you'll likely need to try with your own materials. You might try searching in the Glowforge owner's community forum for a good starting place on settings: community.glowforge.com. -Ellen

What material is being used to make the stamp? Are there issues with it charring or burning? Is there much odor? Is there any damage to the machine from the residue?

[@Glowforge]

Hi Emily! In this video we are using CO2 laser-compatible rubber. You can find the settings that work best for your material by adjusting the speed and power on your Glowforge printer. We can't give authoritative advice for other companies' products as materials can vary between vendors so you'll likely need to try with the CO2 laser compatible rubber that you buy. You might try searching in the Glowforge owner's community forum for a good starting place, for example check out this post from a Glowforge owner: community.glowforge.com/t/art-laser-polymer-stamps-how-to/27497. -Ellen

How many passes are needed to create what you did? Or you only did 1 pass?

[@Glowforge]

Hi Louisa! I wanted a pretty deep stamp so I ended up going over this two times. -Ellen

Is the Glowforge able to make clear cling stamps?

[@Glowforge]

Hi there! I've seen Glowforge owners print on clear rubber before to print stamps. Check out this post from a Glowforge owner: community.glowforge.com/t/another-valentine-for-my-philosopher/55950. I hope that helps! -Ellen

Where I can get a rubber sheet like this one ☝🏾

[@Glowforge]

Hi there! You can purchase rubber sheets from many local or online retailers. You'll just need to make sure that your rubber is CO2 laser compatible. You might find some great recommendations from your fellow Glowforge owners, check out this post for example: community.glowforge.com/t/another-valentine-for-my-philosopher/55950. I hope that helps! -Ellen

This is a great looking machine but you don’t at any point show a close up of the finished stamp rubber. This all looks so easy but I wonder if it really is. If it is then it is great.

[@Glowforge]

Hi Andy! That's some great feedback, thanks for sharing that with me. I'll make sure to include a close up in my next video. It really is that easy and the first few seconds of this video are of my Glowforge printing this stamp up close. At 0:12 seconds is the best representation of what the stamp looked like finished since I did 3 passes of the design. -Ellen
