My first try at carving in linoleum and printing on a tshirt.
The glider is from an old spare parts catalog, vectorised and adjusted in inkscape. Gcode generated in Estlcam. Used 3 mm single flute and 45 deg carving bit from v1 shop running at 1500 mm/min feed at 22 krpm.
I’m quite happy for a first try. Though some small details were lost in the print.

I’d say that’s a great first try! Congratulations
That is amazing! What is the ink/fluid you used?
Marabu textile paint. Ordered from Modulor Berlin/Germany.
After application to the shirt it needs to bake in the oven at 150 deg C for 8 min to fix the paint.

Your linoleum looks like mdf. I thought linoleum was a brand of vinyl flooring… Cool shirt stamp!

Pretty nice!
My wife makes a lot of linocut too, but it’s freehand, maybe I can help with some of these…
Anyone up for an MPP? Mostly Printed Press ?

Probably would not be hard! There is 3d printed reloading press! Seems to work well

Mmmh not sure it’s that easy
A scissor style press requires a lot of resistance, and a roller style press requires… well.. giant metal rollers
I printed the open press (https://openpressproject.com/ ), it’s a fun project for kids but it was really hard to use, plus it’s very very tiny
And it’s not open at all too -_-

I couldnt tell how little it was because there was no banana for scale…(Not serious). Looks good. I like the press idea.
