More Pottery/Clay Rolling Stamps

These six rollers complement and extend the Pottery Rolling Stamps in my earlier upload to Printables. They add texture and patterns to clay projects and other art endeavors. You can roll them by hand or print and use the handle in my original entry.

All are 4" long by ½" in diameter (101.6 mm x 12.7mm). Each has indented ends ready to mount on a handle, but each works as a manual roller, too. I created the patterns in Rhino 3D and morphed them onto the rollers. I've adjusted each roller to eliminate obvious boundaries between beginning and end of the pattern so the result is seamless.

The rollers will work with a variety of materials. They're easy to clean with soap and water. If clay sticks to them during use, wet them to reduce friction.

I printed mine in PETG with 30% infill. I recommend printing them vertically to avoid distortion. Each roller is accompanied by a support base which holds it steady during vertical printing and which detaches fairly easily with minimal cleanup. The support base is offset from the edge of the roller by 0.3mm to ease its removal. Print time is about two and a half hours per roller.

Patterns include Crosses, Hearts, Donuts, Peppermills, Ribbons and Teardrops.

Want a different — and fun — approach to stamping clay? Try my Clay Stamp Balls, which fit in your hand and require no handle.

If you use and like these, please leave a comment. I can upload more patterns if there's enthusiasm.
