I have been wanting to try it out and ordered some odorless material from Laser Bits that came in today. Any thoughts are greatly welcome. I will post pics tomorrow weather good or bad. I am going to Make a standard address stamp and let my kids come up with a couple other designs. I am using the Newer LO DSP controller.
Thanks,

I have engraved some stamps with the "oderless" material from Laser Bits. (It is not oderless, but lower oder than the cheaper kind.
I found that I could get really good results if I went slow enough to get pretty deep engraving. The ramp settings allow you to burn slow and deep and still get a nice clean top surface.
Once you get the rubber engraved, you need to mount it on something pretty firm - I just tested with spray adhesive on a block of wood. If you have double-face carpet tape (the foam kind) it may do even better. It provides a bit of a cushioned mount but still maintains the flatness of the wood block.
