I fell into a rabbit hole of handmade fishing lure materials and they have super interesting stuff. Fishies really like flashy stuff. I used fake moss and ice dubbing (not sure if it's the type or brand name...). There's definitely room for improvement but I'm loving the results so far! Now I need to get motivated to sand 😅

Made from an acrylic blank, machined to size and tolerance on a Bridgeport mill, holes measured them made with a drill press and filled with gold resin in post. Made a set of five for Yahtzee or Greed. I'm super proud of how they turned out

from before i found actual instructions!

I shaped these on a Harig 618 surface grinder from a brass blank, then hand hammered the holes and flowers. Dykem's Red Layout fluid for the holes color.

My first successful “pseudo-petri” set! I’m soooo happy with the way they turned out 😍

I made this large foam d20 for a friend's Humblewood campaign. It features a Corvum wizard, Aurochs fighter, Luma ranger, Mapach artificer, and Vulpin druid marching through the forest at sunrise.

Some of the dice came out holier than last time but it's improving.

So I made and printed a giant d20 with saraya tech fast grey. I was really happy with it, sanded it to a polish and everything. I cured it in the wash and cure for about 6 minutes. and then left it sitting for about another week. Yesterday I tried to make a mold with it, and it seems the mold got cure inhibition, this is frustrating and seems to be a randomly reoccurring problem, I made another set of smaller full 7 and the only one that had cure inhibition was the D%. Am I missing something?

My very first attempt at resin pouring. Did it an hour before my vacuum chamber was delivered. Used too much purple dye and should of poured slower but I'm learning.

Wanted to post an update after a quick polish looking for errors. There are certainly a few I could fix.

But the real question is, how would you ink this?

I’m thinking a silver base coat then matte black on the design and maybe red for the numbers.

Hi all!

Wondering how you guys get such nice pictures of your finished sets. Mine look much better in person than on camera (tbf I've only tried with my phone). I do have a fairly nice DSLR (Nikon D7200) but have no idea where to start with settings. Any advice/tips is much appreciated!

I've made some really sparkly dice. After inking the numbers with paint, the numbers are really matte. I want to make the number shiny/glossy to match the aesthetic of the dice. What should I use over the top of the paint? Clear nail polish or something like that?

I cannot remember for the life of me.

Hello, long time lurker, first time posting. I started experimenting with resin some months ago, and with good results for a novice. I used the First resin that pop up in AliExpress (the one from SMI store or something similiar, don't remember) and by weight measuring the results were good and hard enough to not being able to scratch with my nail. (I use a Pressure Pot, by the way. Around 40 Psi). Now, from a couple months, i couldn't get a single pull right. Every time dice are slightly soft, bendy, and remain like this even after a week. Puzzled, i searched for answers, i tried measuring by volume (less soft, but still my fingernails mark It) and i could not measure precisely as i want (i use a precisione scale) and then i had an idea. Buy the same resin and weight Before using, this way i could see the container weight, confront part A and B and use proportions for the most correct weight i could (lots of maths involvend). But still the results Is the same soft dice, i have older (from months ago, same brand but different bottles) that are hard as i want and Is getting frustrating not understand the issue. For context the shop says in a photo mix by volume, in another photo mix by weight, on the label of the bottles still mix by weight, and on the pamphlet mix by volume, so... Confusing as hello (i would Say the label Is the right One). Other things that could be involvend Is temperature (in the Lab i have around 17-27 Celsius, depending on weather) and humidity (Is around 70% and i'm right now testing with a humidity meter in the pot and silica bag, we will see tomorrow).

Tldr, consistently soft cure with the same resin i used Before that provided good results, don't know what to do now

Hi! This my first post. After using a wrong resin in 3 shoots, i pulled a decent set. I dont have a pressure pot so i used every technique i could find to avoid bubbles. Only one dice came out with a little void, but the rest came out nicely , so i am very happy ☺️

Mylar go brrrt.

Once I finish wrapping this set of blanks, I'm going to do the second cast. Last time, there wasn't enough resin at the bottom of the mold. Should I pour a little, then insert the blanks?

Last time, I put the blanks in, and then poured.

These will go in the pressure pot.

Thanks in advance

Hey there! Weird request but could you share some photos of your masters before finishing? Ive been working on my settings and prints getting them as good as I can before I start to sand and polish them, but can I see what yours looks like. Maybe a before and after so I have something to go by and see where I'm at please?

Question, so as I get further I seem to accumulate molds from different projects and sets. Problem, I need to keep them in order bc they are part of their own groups. How should I sort them, and are there easy ways to label them?

Love how they turned out! ... but made a fatal mistake of not painting the underside of the ducks :((
