Hello,

I done some tests with my Form1+ and create an print mask with the normal white resin. I use also an old handpress machine called boston tiegel.

Very Cool! We have a similar letter-press, mostly as decoration in our office… It has been used a very few times by a graphic artist in our group for printing, but this application is impresive… particularly the detail in the impressions!

This is awesome! I was just googling how to do letterpress from 3D prints and didn’t find too many nice examples, but the type looks great.
