Preparations Software Setupįirst, you’ll need to download and install the required software programs if you don’t already have them installed on your computer. You’ll need Inkscape, OpenSCAD, and the Inkscape OpenSCAD DXF Exporter, which will allow us to export the vector image from Inkscape into a format that OpenSCAD understands. 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.
