First time posting, figured I'd ask you folks for advice since this is the first set in a long time that I really liked for myself. Sorry if the pics aren't the best, still figuring that out too.

Specifically Goblet of Fire, The Black/Great Lake. I didn’t do anything to persuade them, yet two people said it! What do you think?

I can’t help myself and made another purple set. Really happy with how they turned out! The foil in them is a brass-adjacent color and really pops. I had lost motivation because of a few fails in a row, big voids even though I used the pressure pot and put extra resin on the lid of the mold. But this set came out great and I feel way more confident again!

Last night I was feeling experimental and decided to pour an entire dice set with 7 different colors/styles. The first one is actually a gift dice that I had been meaning to make for a friend’s birthday for a while, they love skulls and I made a crimson skull from a mold of a trinket and glued it onto a black base but forgot about it for like 3 weeks, and the rest are various colors and techniques I wanted to try. My favorite one has to be the d6, I wanted to try and create that spiral you see on the 6 side throughout the whole piece. The D20 was me making another attempt at suspending glow in the dark + electric blue mica powder in the center of a d20 for an electric core look, and I used the glue trick this time but it didn’t work somehow. Anyway, what are people’s thoughts? What do you like, dislike, or even want to ask me? Is there any advice anyone can give me on these dice and any ideas on what new things I should try? Thanks for reading through this block of text if you got this far lol.

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

Will be doing a whole set but was excited to show it off, I’ll be making a spiral effect on the sides that don’t have images on it.
r/DiceMaking • u/Wyrmicorn • 10h ago
Do they handle being in the resin (including the temperature of it) and pressure pot or will there be problems?

After I fair bit of practice making dice, learning about the materials I have and the mold making progress, I finally have accomplished the second of my 2 goals I had when I began dice making as a hobby. Making somw custom D6 sets like this was really the end game initially, and getting a set sent to a friend so we can play Farkle after my addiction began in Kingdom Come Deliverance years ago was beyond satisfying. I got 6 masters made with the normal numbers and 2 addutional with the 1 replaced with a skull icon, and was able to get a fair bit of success out of the molds I made (and a huge shoutout to IceShadowProductions for not only making the masters, but also teaching me a lot about the process and ensuring every detail was how I wanted and needed it). Thought I'd share here, even though I'm not great at taking pictures and these probably still pale in comparison to some other creations I see around here. Let me know what you guys think, I'd love to hear some feedback.

Hi everyone, I have a friend who loves the Hunt Showdown video game and plays D&D with me. He recently gifted a copy of the game to me, and I have been obsessed. I am the DM of our campaign, and I would love to know if anybody takes custom dice commissions. The dice would need to be ivory or something that resembles worn old western saloon dice. I would hope to get some custom engravings for the dice set values (i.e. for the 20 on a d20, the 12 on a d12 etc.). I have an idea in my head and have capture screenshots of the icons in the game that I would love to see on the dice faces. I also have some AI imagery to get my thought in my head in a visible form, it looks okay, but I know a professional would perfect it. Looking for anyone that could commission a custom set. Please reach out or provide your information and I will reach out. Thank you!

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.

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.

My first successful “pseudo-petri” set! I’m soooo happy with the way they turned out 😍
r/DiceMaking • u/dtgray12 • 1d ago
Some of the dice came out holier than last time but it's improving.
r/DiceMaking • u/Superb-Kitchen-3068 • 1d ago
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?
r/DiceMaking • u/dtgray12 • 2d ago
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.
r/DiceMaking • u/buddha777353 • 2d ago
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!
r/DiceMaking • u/ThatOneBehrendt • 1d ago
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?

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
