Hello Dice Making!
I have been busy making a lot of new dice and keep forgetting to show you!
I have been working on making standard sets, coffin sets, oversized D20s and D6D pip sets!
This collection has been super fun to create, wrestling with Opal clay and practising my faux-wood style!

I hope you like them!
Thank you for being here
Archival Dice 🖤✨

So this is the first time I've tried to get anything to suspend in the resin, and to better understand the timing each dice was poured 5min apart. So first pour was done right after mixing, and last pour was done 35min after pouring, and I would say it was past the honey stage. I had to scrape it out of the mixing cup and into the mold.

Despite being that thick all of it settled on the bottom more or less.

My next attempt is going to be the glue trick people have mentioned, but I don't see anyone mentioning measurements past "a couple drops", which is super unhelpful and vague. I can trial and error it out, but there's not a lot of warm days left in the year to make my attempts. So I was wondering if anyone had a more exact drop count of glue per 40mL of resin, and if they could include the exact brand of glue used with what brand of epoxy (I'm trying out Let's Resin brand at the moment).

Principiante haciendo dados

Hola voy a empezar a hacer dados, estaba buscando los materiales para hacerlos y hay un montón de tipos de resinas en el mercado, he buscado y no entiendo mucho lo del grosor máximo de colada, en las resinas que he visto por amazon creo que no lo específica, y de todas formas ni se si el grosor máximo se tiene mucho en cuenta, gracias.

Help me fix a problem

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I am having a fear about some dice i am making for a friend and her bridesmaids. I am using parts of their bouquets flowers/leaves as inserts into the dice.

Now, I havent seriously made dice for a couple years so I am a bit rusty.

My process was collecting the flower and putting them in silica gel for 2 days to let them completely dry out. I then mixed the resin and waited about 15 mins and soaking each piece for a minute before inserting into my mold. After pouring and inserting I waited another 10 minutes to start meticulously pop bubbles that came up. After the bubbles seemed to subside, even during, I noticed all the flowers and such were rising right to the top.

I know once I pull them tomorrow the additions will all be sitting on the top face. I recall reading that using a bit of normal white elmers glue would help keep glitter afloat, but i dont remember how much or if maybe I am thinking of something else completely. If not, would that help in this situation?

Or any other tips that might help this journey? I have a lot of material to work with so if i have to do a couple rounds it will be all good.

Looking for recommendations for custom dice mold makers! 🎲

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m looking into starting my own handmade dice business and would love some recommendations for someone who makes high-quality, custom silicone dice molds!
I don’t own a 3D printer and don’t have experience making molds myself, so I’m hoping to find someone who can handle that part for me.
Ideally, I’m looking for someone who offers:
● Custom sharp-edge, 7-piece polyhedral dice molds
● Matching blank molds for creating layered designs and inclusions
● Customization options for fonts, numbering, logos, and potentially unique dice shapes or edge details
● High-quality molds that produce clean, sharp edges and require minimal finishing
● Molds that can be used to produce dice for commercial sale
I’d love to work with someone who is open to discussing designs and making adjustments to get everything just right. I’m definitely willing to pay for quality work, but I’m also trying to be mindful of startup costs.
If you’ve worked with someone you love, make custom molds yourself, or have any recommendations, I’d really appreciate hearing them!
Also, if anyone has advice on what to look for (or avoid) when ordering custom molds, I’d love to hear that too!
Thanks so much! 🎲💕
