Hi all just pulled these from an off the shelf mould because I don’t have a 3D printer yet and I’m not looking to I sell. I also don’t have a pressure pot.

In case it doesn’t come through well, the gold flake is in a clear resin and then the coloured was poured on top of it in the honey stage. I quite like the results.

Do you think it inking

1. most numbers in gold and then leaving the high value numbers uninked. That’s where most of the gold sits
2. trying to match the high number inking with the resin colour
3. inking everything the same and a different colour altogether?

Thanks in advance.

We recently got a new car and based on the license plate and my daughter’s favourite band the family have named the car Felix. I ordered a badge for it as a silly joke and this is what arrived today.
It’s not even in the style of font 3.

The way Jeff delivers that line in the dream sequence.

Please let me know if this isn’t something I’m allowed to post. Hoping because one of them is from Reddit it’s not a rule breaker.

Okay this is my last one for a while. Don’t want to get banned for spamming.

I want this guy nowhere near this show. NO. WHERE.

So I was going for a cool glow in the dark wispy streak going through the dice. Thought I’d waited too long to add the colour because the resin was getting really thick but it still mostly sunk to the bottom. I thought I’d share anyway.

Also really pleased with how clear these are straight from the mould without access to a vacuum pot.

Any inking colour recommendations?

I bought a second off the shelf squish mould and discovered the dice were a little smaller than my existing mould. So I gave shelling a try.
I don’t have a pressure pot and still have to master sanding and polishing but I’m quite happy with these.

Edit: can’t seem to be able to edit my awful spelling in the title.

So I ordered a box set of books 1,2,3 & 4 and then books 5,6,7 & 8 separately. Books 5,6,7 & 8 arrived last night and I’ve just had confirmation the rest arriving shortly. Then I noticed the product image.

Hi all, love the results you guys are getting on here. Everything’s beautiful.

I’ve been using excess resin from other projects to make dice and have noticed this issue with most of my D4s.

What’s causing this? Is a bubble getting trapped at the bottom of the mould or is the mould I purchased just rubbish? Any advice? I don’t have a pressure pot.

Also, does anyone get anything decent out of chameleon powders? I made some and they look good but obviously when you sand you sand off the powder you burnished into the mould. The alternative is to mix it with the resin which gives varying results.

PS. I’m awaiting a delivery of sandpapers and polishes, please don’t judge my finishing. 🫣

Edit for update: thanks for the advice all. Managed to get a decent D4 removed from the mould this morning after trying the toothpick trick to remove any bubbles that might have been created. So it looks like that’s the issue not the mould.

I am going to invest in another mould set that has an alternate D4 shape that I don’t think existed when i used to buy dice as a kid. Just to try someone new.
I’m also going to sand down a failed chameleon set and make my old moulds to create inserts (blanks?) with as the ones I’ve seen on here look so cool.
