Actually that double stamped black t with white looks cool
nice, but can you do adibas?
so, as someone who's done silk screen printing. White on black usually requires multiple paths. Maybe the approach i to do something similar as silk-screen and use negatives to spray over the t-shirt multiple times to get the white to pop. Btw, this is really interesting as thin layer of 3D printing i am guessnig doesn't take too long and with potential organic 3D printers, might have some more environmentally safer approach to silk screen printing.
Hey uncle Jessie I am the kid at rapid that won the resin 3d printer it is so awesome thanks for being my idol and I saw the shirt in person and it was awesome, I love your videos and you have inspired me to continue 3d printing, and now I have 4 3d printers all because of you thanks for being a great person .
You can also just use an iron for the fabric ink instead of a heat press. It will stay nicer, as spray paint will generally fade more quickly after washing. The mat was actually a really good idea, because printing/stamping like that always wants one side to be hard and one side to be soft. With a hard PLA stamp the mat is perfect to put underneath. With something softer, like rubber stamps, you want the surface underneath to be hard.
Quick tip that I learned making t-shirts is that typically the top of the image is 2.5-3 inches from the bottom of the collar. When the image rides a bit higher it draws the eye faster and looks more professional. Loving those shirts!
Oh fantastic tip! thanks!
@@UncleJessy you are welcome! For me it is about the width of my first three fingers pressed together ( if that makes sense.) it makes measuring quick and easy !
Great Tip, thanks.
You should 3d print a two piece magnetic jig, a back side with a frame and slab of foam and the front side can be another plate that magnetically aligns with the back plate holding the fabric wrinkle free over the stamping surface and have the added bonus of including indexing rails or tabs to make for easy restamping of the same spot for brighter colors.
Do..... You have a channel?
This is a great idea, i can see doing multi color prints if you designed a thin border frame to pin on the shirt before using the stamps, so you could always align it perfectly between each new color/stamp!
I stencil painted a T-Shirt for a skate clothing brand I was starting up in High School (around 2002). I swear that paint lasted like 200 washes lol. Spray Paint is underrated as a shirt paint. At least for quick stuff like this. These days I'm sure one could find something that didn't qualify as a biohazard in a can. As a matter of fact, I'm going to revisit that. Thanks for the inspiration Uncle Jessy!
Heck yeah! Quick and easy… just make sure to spray outside
You can probably feel the white paint more because white paint usually has titanium dioxide in it. This also tends to mean you need a special glue for white paints to stick well to shirts, which is why it didn't show well when you used it on the black shirts and would probably wash away on the ones it actually showed decent on. When doing actually DTG printing, you need to pretreat any shirts that will have white ink printed on them. Get some of that and try it with that next time, though you will need a heat press to set the pretreat.
Had no idea but that might be why. It definitely felt a bit like puffy paint vs the other which much more easily blended into the shirt fabric
Work in a t-shirt printing company - use a heat gun to flash your print inks off and you'll be able to run multiple colours. Also, you can cure using the heat gun but don;t try to do it in one hit (risk burning out he gun)
it's called blockprinting and was the predecessor to screenprinting 😅only youre using 3dprinted blocks instead of cnc or hand-engraved blocks
and now I know ;)
@@UncleJessy Yessss, if you're getting interested into printing like this, definitely explore some of the different printmaking techniques! I really love your idea. When I was in school, I really enjoyed making linocut prints from linoleum blocks, which is very similar to your process. You can also make prints that are multicolor by using a process called "color reduction." Some people will use multiple blocks to achieve a multi-color print, but you can also use one block to do it as well (at the expense of only being able to do one run of prints). Your idea could be interesting to remix if you made something inspired by moveable type/Gutenburg press. But, there are some really cool techniques out there & some are even used for making semiconductors (lithography). It's a dying art, but there's some interesting concepts that I think would translate into other STEM-y ideas. Really wished more people learned about printmaking :)
@@support_theory8754Former hobbyist printer here: I’ve tried linocut, woodcut, collagraphs, etching, stencil, polymer lithography…. And, yes, even block printing from 3D printed pieces as shown here. It’s quite the rabbit hole once you get started 😊
It is the whole point, doing 3D printing instead of engraving.
Most genz arent familiar with it predecessor techniques , so why not introduce it as new. 💁 concept 😂
For me it was easier to just print the design mirrored (just because I wanted the texture from the bed) in TPU, remove and place it on the clothes you want it and and iron the design FROM BEHIND so the TPU melts in the fabric and it will never come out. You need to print just a few layers but you need to remove it easy from the bed, so like 0.6 mm total works good. If you want some relief and make it look 3D you need more height, but it's more difficult because if you heat it more than it needs it will deform and look bad
Wow, i need to try that!! Does stay ok after the washing machine? No cracks??
@@shelkie No cracks as with most TPU prints, but while I haven't done it a lot, I found that on one blue shirt, I don't know what happened but the white TPU was also colored blue after some time, I don't know if it was from washing or what, but I do know that it was synthetic fabric, so I might try it before on an old shirt just to be sure and I also think it would be a lot more permanent bond on cotton shirts. Let me know of your results
Really cool idea! What about trying to 3D print a roller stamp? Something the size of a lint roller so you could just pop it on a lint roller?
Nice work! Did this for some Speedball ink stamps for a show last year, came out as exactly hand painted as I was hoping they would. Good solution!
Use butcher paper or teflon sheets to prevent bleeding.
perfection! why I love y'all because I have no idea what im doing 99% of the time
Awesome video! 3 weeks ago I actually made some stampers out of tpu of a company logo to stamp onto our products. It worked really well and even with ironing on and using an ink pad, I still got that vintage wore out look which works for the logo. Super awesome application for 3D printing.
Fantastic to hear! I need to do a ink stamper for my shipping boxes
You cam use your heatgun instead of the heatpress to cure the fabric screenprinting paint. Usually the paint is water based, so you must heat it 180-230 degree Celsius to get all the water out. When it stops letting out water wapors you heat it another 30 seconds and its done. It takes some practice to heat the paint to cure tamperature without burning the t-shirt... allso you can use special screenprinting spray glue for holding the t-shirt in place on the mat.
To do more than one stamp you could easily use a simple jig- just a couple pieced of wood screwed together to make an L-shape, then just align the stamp to the corner of the L and redo it as many times as you want. Nifty project! You could probably do this with a laser engraver too- laser out the lettering then glue it onto a sheet of wood and you've got a stamp or you could even get a chunk of rubber- real stamps can be made using a laser cutter as well- just get a blank, flip it over and laser out your design on the stamp side. You could also add textures to the stamp as well which could be neat
I recently started messing around with bleach painting t-shirts and have printed some stencils with some really great results! I was JUST ABOUT to go outside and make some more shirts until I saw a new upload from you... So now I'm sitting here with Fusion 360 designing stamps to test hahaha. Phenomenal timing Jessy, thank you!
Hi Jesse!! I made a Reddit post about resin printing on the mars 3 pro and I was a little hesitant about the responses until I saw yours, I trust your judgement and bought the printer at a discounted rate and it’s working fantastically, my dad loves the miniatures I’ve been making him! thank you so so much :)
Heck yeah! Congrats on the printer and love that you’re making some prints for your pops as well!
I just print a template of a out 0.5mm thick. Then use spray paint or a brush (short haired stiff ) to spray or tipple with appropriate paint. Then let it dry for a few minutes and use an iron to set the paint with good temperature. Really works!
Those turned out great! I really like the faded look on that 3D Printing design.
Just a quick tip - it's best practice to wash a shirt first. Some have sizing on them that can prevent adhesion.
Oh! I did not know that…
Fun fact about me… I love a brand new tshirt, unwashed, straight from the store… my wife on the other hand refuses to wear anything unless it’s been washed 🙃
you can use a iron in place of a heat press. just use some paper or a scrap cloth in between the iron to keep it clean
say what?!?!
@@UncleJessy its not as good as a real heat press but it does work
Did this all the time many years ago while working at Handicraft area at a large Camp out west. For sure put craft paper down before using the iron, or deal with the wrath of the person that uses the iron next. And you don’t need to let the iron sit on the ink for very long to set the ink.
Why not use a common latex paint from your local home store? It is flexible, and will embed into the fabric.
Thanks! I just did this and stamped 4 t-shirts. Pretty cool results.
if you dont have a heathing press you can do this :
fabric ink make your design on the shirt then place bakeing partcment place that on top get a regual clothing iron set it to high and just press down on the print
For the plastisol fabric ink, you don't need a heat press. You can actually use a heat gun (even that tourch you used on the print if you are very carefull) to quick set it, and then place it in the oven . Industrial screen printers use a 'conveyer oven', a large oven with a conveyer belt going through it. One person will be on one side putting shirts on, and another person will be on the other side taking shirts off. But if you know the temps (which will be on the ink packeging) you can use a regular oven
As somebody who has done professional shirt printing. this is cool af and it gives me a lot of ideas on how to make it a better process.
You could have used an iron with some parchment paper as a buffer between the print and iron as a heat press. Use the cotton setting.
Thanks for the heads up on the Elegoo prime day event. I just finished the scavenger hunt on their site and pre-ordered the Centuri Carbon for $300!!
Screen printer here, these turned out surprisingly well and I really want to try this now with plastisol ink.
I was looking at the t-shirt in your last video and thought it was cool wondering where you got it. I like the plastic bag inspiration.
hahaha indeed! I have a huge box of plasitc bags and was like ohhhh thats a fun one ;)
I work in the textile field in printing and finishing department. Your application for 3d printing in fabric prints is very intriguing. Rather than using spray paints , I would suggest you start experimenting with quick dry powder dyes. I would also suggest you to try to use filament layering from the 3d printed stamp as a design feature on your prints. It might gibe the print a detailed oomph.
you could have exported the .svg from illustrator instead of exporting a .jpg (your text wouldnt have ended up with those weird gaps on the face of the middle text)
Yeah I can’t get it to work right when I export as svg from illustrator for some reason. Although I do kind of like the splotchy imperfect look the converter provides
This was great, I do look forward to a more in depth dive into this with the proper inks and see what you come up with.
Fabric ink works well and lasts a long time.
My wife is a letterpress printer and we do this all the time. The ink dries pretty fast and is easy to use.
Nice idea! Just getting into 3D printing so need to try this! I bet ordinary acrylic paint from Hobby Lobby etc would work well and it dries quick.
Hey @UncleJessy I am on the same vibe: I also want to start playing with clothes, stamps, even Screen Print - I loved seeing this video, sick! ❤
Spray paint will last forever in clothes… I only need to look through my closet to see nice clothes that “I’ll be really careful on this project” and voila, messed up clothes lol.
Nice tutorial, I might give it a try. Thank you.
The one where you had the foam flipped over, I kinda like the pattern it gave the stamped area... gives it a "fake metal" patterned look... But this is definitely something that sparks my interest. I only wish I didn't live in managed apartments LOL (spray paint fumes)
One thing you could do for multi color is making an outer alignment frame and then print the pattern for each color. using double stick tape to hold the alignment frame in place while you stamp each color.
obv you sprayed directly onto the print for simplicity and proof of concept but i'd imagine you'd get better paint coverage (esp for the white) if you sprayed the paint onto a plate or even into a cup and brushed it on to the printed stamp; just an idea for potentially v2!
ohhhhhhh thats a cool idea i didnt even consider! I bought a roller & I have the heat press now... will definitely be testing that out along with the actual fabric inks
You could also create a template that you put onto the fabric, and paint directly on to the fabric if you want a cleaner finish
Awesome idea. Think I know what I will be trying on my vacation.
heck yeah!
I know it's not really 3d printing but you can get inkjet iron-on transfers and just use an ink jet printer...
Oh really? Will look into that
You could try the ball ink and just use an iron. With something in the middle to protect the shirt it would probably do the same thing.
Lol! Yes! I'm glad to see that work - other logo and printmaking design ideas recently led me to wonder if 3D printing a print block would work. Shouldn't be hard to build a simple frame, too, for the press process. And I'm glad you found heat press. I have what looks like the same model (or close) that I picked up at a local college auction for pennies on the dollar. I highly recommend looking up such local resources in your areas (fans too). I also grabbed there a ginormous Canon plotter for a few bucks, just because no one else was hunting for such. (auctions can be dangerous, too. I've brought home lots of stuff cheap that I didn't even want) Good job, Uncle Jessy!
I hope you enjoy your visit to my wonderful city of lost angels. If I wasn’t homebound, I would come down and give you a big hug and tell you how awesome you are but luckily for you I am so you’ll just have to take it here. Have a good time be safe.Be well be you
You know just a wild thought maybe this might be in another video but if it worked so well with regular text and design on FDM PLA what about complicated drawings and cartoons with a resin printer with ABS resin? I feel like it would work beautifully
That is an awesome idea!!! I need to create a logo for my 3 channels
3D printing stencils work with spray paint and look crisp
Nice work. Could do it like that. If you don't care about the textures, try just printing a stencil and spray over it.
You could also use Prusa Slicer instead of Tinker CAD. Joel made a Video about how to do this.
Hey bud, you can get that skin tag on your eye lid removed real easy at a dermatologist. They use a spray can that freezes it and it falls off a few days later. Check it out.
So, if you're using spray paint, wouldn't it make much more sense to use a stencil? Pretty cool idea though.
🤣😂 in hindsight…….. yes 😂
@@UncleJessy it could be an idea to use a stencil but that would be more likely to bleed I think
I wonder if a slightly raised stencil would work, give nice hazy edges?
You could also use Inkscape
Graffiti nozzle for a color can. Rounded one for lamp posts.
Why wouldn’t you just roll on T-shirt ink? You can get it at hobby lobby or Michaels roll it on your print with a roller and then print it. It’s gonna last way. Better in the wash and be far less toxic than spray paint.
You can buy transfers from Michaels, JoAnns, Wal-mart, reverse your image on screen and print with inkjet printer or laser color printers. To keep your t-shirts on the mat's, use a semi tack spray glue from Lowes, Home Depot, or the above stores. Think ahead, and have a professional do them. Also, that spray point will bleed through and enter your pores. Hope there's no led in the paint. For speedball ink, use a hair dryer or your oven to cure the ink.
Hi uncle jessy, that a great idea. Just testet it and what to say: works great and looks awesome. Thanks! Greetings from Tirol/Austria
I think if you want to have your stamp align exactly on the exact place... you should make an outline box of your whole stamp... where it kan fit into... and then when you print, you put your ouline box first on the shirt and then put your stamp in it... now you know exactly where the stamp should go... be carefull not to move the outline box... this would I think create butter results... also I worked with speedball textile paint... you can easly use your heatgun to dry it and use it for the day... but would recommend to use a baking paper on top and iron it after you heatgun it... this would cure the textile paint and you can wash it many time and it won't wash away.
Best of the best
You should get a better paint transfer if the stamp would be flexable since then it can adjust to the surface and really squish into the fabric. And also a lower extrusion of the letters itself for more flex and pressure.
a small roller would probably be better and cleaner than spray pain. And cheaper I bet, having a tiny amount of paint mixed the cost of a spray can probably will do more shirts.
UGGGGGGHHHH UNCLE JESSY!! DUDE! This is what I've needed!!!! How does the spray paint hold up after washing? I'm definitely going to try this as I just spent way too much money on custom shirts being made, and they're not the right size anyway! Sooooo ... gonna do this in the future instead! So cool.
Would be interesting to maybe 3d print a textured tpu “mat” to use inside the t-shirt. Then maybe you can get different textured effects on the stamp
The shirt white on black that you reprinted gave me an idea: Try the 3D cinema effect dunno what's called. There's a street writer here in Milan, his tag Pongo. He does a lot with that effect that resembles those 3d dinosaurs images we watched thru bichromic glasses. But without glasse, you got me. Should try that!
That would in the end be somewhat an actual 3D printed tshirt but in a different way from Zack! :D
Thanks for the inspiration. I’m going to be doing a variation of something like this. 🔥👏🏽🙌🏽
Guessing the issue you were having with exporting to SVG is that you weren’t converting your text or stroke to curves before exporting to SVG - as going from vector to jpeg back to vector isn’t a required step.
Very creative. I like it 😃 I think I'll try this for my neck labels
doing it on a convex surface would allow you to kind of roll it thus removing the nervous place and remove bit.
Fascinating idea. How long does all of this take? What is the depth of the 3D letters.
As a side note if you own a cricket or silhouette machine you can make your own silk screen stencil.
In the Gutenberg press they used to use a roller and ink pad. Then it would run over the type and then press.
Enjoyed your sessions at Rapid+TCT!
Rolling pin for pressing the stamp,maybe?
I would use speedball ink anyway. Nice technique.
If you had a box jig, you could align several printing blocks, one by one, like a real screen print shop does.
Why didn’t you just use regular paint, pour it in a dish, then dip your stamp into it? I feel like that would have been way quicker and easier and have better results than using spray paint
time to dry... I knew spraypaint would be good to go for me folding and packing it up vs other paints that might take longer but a solid suggestion to try out!
@@UncleJessy gotcha 👍 thanks for the reply. Another good option would be that acrylic shirt paint available at craft stores. They even have metallic/shiny options. Also they have a fine tip applicator on the bottle, so you could potentially print a tray that is a negative of your stamp design that you could then squeeze the paint into, which would reduce a lot of paint waste when compared to using a big open tray for the paint 🎨
amazing.Please try the pro ink and heat technique.💎
I'd try printing a stencil, cover the area outside it and spraypaint that on the shirt
We live in the area, you can borrow our heat press next time, why not, we rarely use it
Oh appreciate the offer
@@UncleJessy though now that we've seen this technique! We are members of the MG Car Club and I would love to make some car themed shirts using this stamping method. Like a logoed T shirt or vintage racing shirt. They would be seriously cool shirts and sure beats screen printing.
"Goodbye screen printing"?? "com'on now Dawg"!!!
White on Red? I believe that is Red on White. I loved the video, thanks for the work... 👍✌🖖🥃
This is like going backwards to printing shirts. DTF is the future of t-shirt printing.
That was amazing I Did not know you can do screen printing with 3-D printer. Just subscribe
I don't understand, why save the whole thing as a JPEG and then convert it to SVG when Adobe Illustrator can also save the whole thing directly as an SVG file? That makes no sense.
What makes no sense is your comment, he said in the very beginning he had mixed results going straight to svg and I know exactly what he's talking about. Some images don't translate well directly to svg.
Thats pretty dope!
What if you rolled paint onto the stamp? Maybe Rust-Oleum with a foam roller
Awesome method. I'm going to give this a try! Also, I just noticed your magneto print wasn't reversed?
Whoops I just noticed I only uploaded the regular print versions not the reversed file options. Will upload the mirrored print for these shirts
Now what happens in the wash, does everything turn red, how long does it last. That's the real question (of course you weren't looking for a long term product but still interesting to test).
Please show some video of the Show so we can see all the new cool stuff!!!!
Fun project
this channel has too many subs for the quality it has. never quit youtube.
@@therealpinktea4284 haha I don’t know if that is a diss or a compliment 😂🤣
Simply awesome.
Nice! What about sealing wax stamps? We could all use those when shipping out products.
This is a great idea, nice work 😉
Could you dip the stamp in paint to get better coverage than a spray can?
Very clever!
A couple years ago I made a stencil with my logo by laser cutting paper and sprayed around it with bleach. I still wear that shirt. I'm also thinking about 3D printing a stencil.
I’ll give it a try 🖖🏼 thanks
This is brilliant!!!!!
Use that heat press to recycle some old scrap plastic too.
