Reindeer Hoof Stamp

thingiverse

I'm looking for ways to create fake hoof prints in the ground or use as a paint stamp, especially for painting. The process is quite straightforward - just make sure the surface is relatively soft before stepping on the flat side with your foot to leave an impression. As I was searching for a way to leave reindeer prints near where kids put out food on Christmas Eve, I found it surprising that there wasn't anything available on Thingiverse or in stores. Using CAD software, I created a mock-up of the profile and had them printed out that night, which worked beautifully. Seeing the shocked looks on the kids' faces was truly priceless. For leaving longer trails, I would recommend modifying the file to include a strap at the bottom of your shoes. Attempting this without modification could lead to an injury, so it's best to keep things simple and safe by not making any drastic changes.
