Extinction Rebellion Print Blocks

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

These print blocks were designed and printed for the Forest of Dean Extinction Rebellion.
I do understand that to save the environment reducing plastic is one of the key aims however due to the complexity of the design 3d printing was the best option available to me, these have lasted for 100s of prints each and i believe they are justified. Please don't comment to this effect.
Please feel free to use these at your group, please please please post makes and comments as it helps this thing gain some traction and reach more people.
If you want me to add any of your designs please comment or message me and i will.

After 3d printing the blocks they need mounted on 12mm plywood, glue using a non water based adhesive, I use Evo Stick.
Speedball block printing fabric inks strongly recommended, use with a foam roller.
When printing always put something soft under the fabric, I use an old towel the 3d blocks when mounted on wooden backing should be strong enough to stand on to get a really good print.
As you can see we have had great success on may may fabrics but do lots of tests.
Please contact me if you have a image you want to make into a printing block for XR or just for yourself be happy to help!
Many thanks and good luck
