Newbie.
Ive been watching videos and havent had any luck. My object, curve, whatever its called is to be a stamp i 3d print for stamping clay. i extruded it from an illustrator file, im sure way over complex, but its how it came out.
Makerbot stalls at 8% converting, im sure due to the size.
Any tips?

Hello - what is the actual final scale of the stamp? As is the thing is minute - a few mm overall. I’d say the amount of detail is going to to depend on the actual scale and the clay itself - groggy stoneware, smooth whiteware?

yea, not really sure what your saying, but it will end up being 3"x3" or so
OK - so, if the overall size is about 3" then the narrowest ‘lines’ like the one crossing the ‘S’ will be about 2 mm wide - is that reasonable to press into the clay you have at the depth you want? Probably to look clean as a pressed in stamp, the hard corners on the letters should be considerably softened I would think, depending on how deep you want to press.- what is the material of the object itself?
My guess is it will take some experimentation…

perhaps a maker bot prob, ill try there
@vdubjim - I’d do something like the attached - just the S but you’ll get the idea. The first thing is to redraw the messy curves with simpler ones… round a few corners… etc.
Cleaned up a bit more - no verticals in the interior depressions so should press better.
