Cute animal stamps, cake toppers, etc.

My daughter brought home these adorable designs for a board game she's creating as part of her school project: cat, lion, mouse, serpent, fox and pig. I printed them with a solid base in transparent filament first, then switched to black filament for the detailed lines. You can also use them as custom stamps by gluing them to a wooden block or printing one of the handles and attaching it with super glue. I've included stamp pieces with thinner bases that are optimized specifically for this purpose. Here's how my daughter made these designs: 1. She drew them freehand with ink. 2. Next, she scanned them into jpg files. 3. Then, she imported them into Inkscape and used its tracing feature to create vectors, cleaned up the lines and added a background color. 4. After that, she exported the design files to OpenSCAD using an extension - it's essential to use 0.01 mm precision or the thin lines might get distorted in the final product. 5. Finally, my daughter tweaked the OpenSCAD output by thickening the lines for a more defined look.
