Any advice on sanding the top faces that have a bit of a sharper edge? Any feedback welcome too ☺️

Looking for new things to try, anyone put these filler things in their dice? Thinking they might make an interesting texture as well as some iridescence

Vosotros con que materiales y con que" técnicas" empezasteis a hacerlos? No se muy bien que es lo que necesito y como empezar, si alguien me podría decir una pequeña introducción y su opinión estaría muy bien :)

Just pulled these today, may try a different approach to get the mica more visible but still turned out good

One of my friends is going to DM a Strahd campaign for us so I made her this set and box using the red and purple theme with gold lettering. Using the beautiful SpaceBarShop mold results in crisp numbers and very little flashing. I also made a quick resin potion bottle for an added touch 😁

At this point, I'm about 20-ish sets of dice poured and loving every minute spent experimenting with resin, inks and molds!

Lighting in my office is crap, so apologies for the iffy images.

so my experimental set in the last image has a regular white polymer clay base + several layers of paint. my hands are a bit shaky so it's been hard to paint on something so tiny. it's been a fun and yet time-consuming project, but I think I'd like to try making more painted dice in the future. if you can't tell, they're supposed to be pink leopard print. next time I might try using neon colors though.

Hey folks,

Formlabs just dropped a 699$ printer. I have one on pre-order as well as 3 of the “alpha” resins. I will do an in depth comparison with the Form4 and Form3 in regard to master making.

This might be HUGE or it just might be a better consumer option atleast.

Hi, the winter is coming (pun intended), and I'm here overthinking the physics of liquid cores, water expanding, and dice exploding.

Sooo, have you had any issues with liquid core dice cracking due to cold?

I wonder what kind of liquids you use (and in what proportions) to make sure the dice travel safely through international post in winter?

At first, I was making the classic mixture of water (50%), glycerin (50%), and alcohol (a few drops). Not sure how well that holds up. Probably need to throw it in a freezer to see.

But then I thought mica powder just takes too long to settle, and it's very hard to mix it up at first when rolling. (I'd like that quick rise, quick fall kind of action.)

So I tried 100% water plus a few drops of alcohol. The swirly action was much better... but that will definitely freeze and crack.

Then I tried 50% water, 50% alcohol. But UV resin doesn't stay on the cap hole and sinks, creating threads while I try to cure it.

THEN I tried mineral oil, but for some reason, it's EXTREMELY hard to seal with UV resin as well.

Kinda lost here..

P. S. Yes, I probably need to use glitter instead of mica powder if I want that quick rise, quick fall action, but the question about not freezing still stands.

I started making dice for my my local hobby shop and I decided to post on here. I'm still new so I would welcome any tips

I haven't been able to make new dice for a while because life got in the way, but I made these space dice to hopefully get back to regularly making sets

Releasing a cast sterling silver D20 from its sand mould. Quite an anxious moment as it's when I find out if the casting was successful, or if I need to start again from scratch. Thanks for watching ☺️

It's almost done!! Just have one more unexpected thing to test, and I'll be sitting to write out all the instructions for this technique! Still trying to keep an eye on how these will last longterm, but even from my first attempt with this method, it's holding up better than I thought. That being said, I noticed some colors behave differently than others, so we'll see.

These are my latest pulls from my pressure pot…and they might be my most favorite to date! Can’t wait to shell the petri set so I can see all of the tendrils clearly!

So a couple of months ago 3 friends and I got into DnD, we created characters with rich backstories interwoven into the campaign, house emblems and the whole shebang. I had played Das schwarze Auge many years ago and wanted to treat myself to a new set of dice for the occasion but nothing out there could quite scratch my itch. I eventually figured it’s inevitable; I had to get a resin printer and take matters into my own hands ̄\(ツ)/ ̄ Following this sub really only pushed me further, so thanks to everyone for the amazing ideas, help and inspiration!

I couldn’t leave it there though so apart from gathering intel on preferred colors and going through hundreds of fonts to fit the vibe of each party member I eventually figured the dice also needed to be displayed nicely ̄\(ツ)/ ̄

The mechanism of the box uses magnets and is far from perfect but it gets the job done. I can already tell I will eventually redo it though, to get a smoother, more stable transition.

Unfortunately I didn’t take proper pictures of the dice themselves, I could eventually show off my own set at some point, it’s a translucent black set with gold flakes and blood liquid core. However I will probably show off another set here first (once the masters are finished) since you guys really got me into experimenting with varying materials. I hope you’re in the mood for it. hint hint

Since I had to relearn the hard way about cure inhibition 😂😅 I'm redoing the smoke petris I've done in the past in blanks and shelling them, starting with the ones I was doing in my personal collection to replace an old smoke style.

I have so many sets that I am really happy with that just need to get inked but I just can’t motivate myself to do it. It’s messy and I hate it. Do you guys have any tips that makes the whole inking process less loathsome? I use a tiny brush, acrylic paint mixed with a few drops of water and my finger to wipe off the excess paint. Every few sides I need to wash my hands or else it’s just smearing the dice. And I don’t have the patience to stretch the process of inking a set over many days. When I start inking a set I want to finish it in one go. Send help 🤣

Hi friends, I made my first dice set with a custom lord-of-the-rings elvish font made just for the dice. Super excited about how the obsidian cut feels and looks. Would love to get some feedback... next step is 3D designing a dice holder. Let me know your thoughts :) Calling it "VaultBorn Dice"
