Made with our free stamp maker, not modelled by hand: we drew the design in code, knocked out of a solid disc, uploaded the picture and set the circle shape to 28 mm across with the relief at 1 mm, enough for wax without trapping it. The page traced it into the face, so the design is cut into the stamp and stands proud on the seal. The zip holds exactly what the tool gives you: a stamp plate with a 1 mm raised face and a handle that screws into its back, as one STL, and as a 3MF with the face, plate and handle as separate coloured parts. The page mirrors the face, so the mark reads the right way round, and flares every raised wall a little toward the plate, which helps the stamp let go of warm sealing wax. The picture is in the zip too, so you can change it and make your own.

Shown as a 3D render of the printed stamp and the seal it presses into a puddle of wax, not a photo.

Snowflake wax seal stamp at a glance: every printed part with its size, print time, filament, print settings and the three steps to use it

What you need

3
  • Sealing wax: glue-gun wax sticks with a mini glue gun, traditional wick sticks, or wax beads in a melting spoon
  • An ice pack or a cold metal plate, to chill the stamp between seals
  • About 8 g of filament: PETG or PLA for the plate, PLA for the handle

How to use it

5

  1. Print both parts as exported: the plate face down on the bed, the handle standing on its foot, no supports.

  2. Screw the handle into the back of the plate until it is snug.

  3. Chill the face on an ice pack for a minute.

  4. Pour a puddle of wax a little wider than the seal, wait about ten seconds, then press the stamp straight down and hold it still for 10 to 20 seconds.

  5. Lift straight up once the wax has set, and chill the stamp again before the next seal.

Questions about this design

Which wax colours suit the snowflake wax seal stamp?

Silver, white and icy blue look like frost, and red or deep green are classic for Christmas cards. A white seal on a navy envelope is a favourite for winter weddings.

Will a snowflake wax seal survive the Christmas post?

Use flexible sealing wax, the kind sold as glue-gun sticks for mailing: it bends instead of cracking in a sorting machine. Some post offices ask for hand-cancelling on sealed envelopes, so it is worth asking at the counter.

Which filament should I print the snowflake wax seal stamp in?

PETG for the plate if you have it: it stays stiff to about 80 C, where PLA softens near 60 C, and a fresh puddle of sealing wax is hotter than that for a few seconds. PLA works too if you chill the plate between seals. Skip TPU: a soft face blurs the design.
