3D Printed Art using the New Extruder Tool

3D printing's great for making art or for making art tools like stamps and stencils. You can print in plastic with a home 3D printer or order prints in metal from services such as Shapeways.

As an example, I replicated the Rapid Resizer icon in the Letter Stencil Maker, extruded it into 3D using the new tool, then printed it on my home printer. (The rounded border was a shape from one of the 1000+ in the symbol fonts.)

You can currently extrude a design from the Letter Stencil Maker for free, despite what its button suggests. Extruding a design made in the Designer requires the Designer version of Rapid Resizer.
