My name is Michael and I'm no expert when it comes to DIY projects, but we're going to make things together and learn along the way. This is my channel where I post projects like woodworking, resin crafting, CNC, laser engraving, home projects, home improvement, and some crazy DIY projects from time to time!

I want to show that creating is fun and accessible without any of the expertise of seriousness you see on some other channels. Let's have some fun!

I'm having a tough time finding bulk D4 dice with the numbers at the top (like here in this video) to purchase. Amazon has the red D4s with numbers at the bottom, but I don't like those. Can anyone tell me where I should look for dice like the ones shown in the video?

these are perfect cubes. A real game/roll die is the intersection of a cube and a sphere (e.g. cube size 1, sphere diameter1.4) . Nevertheless, great video, I learn a lot :)

If you put a thin silicon surface protector on the shelves then sit the dice in top of that you wouldn't have to worry about the wood getting resin stuck to it right? You could just peel the resin bits off the silicone and keep going Would that work? I haven't gotteny first pressure pot yet so im not sure if there's something about my suggestion that wouldn't work

New dice maker here, Does it matter when using masters to make your own mould do you need to have the masters shiney to make shiney dice or could they be matte? (Stupid question I bet but I’d love to know)
@Slayer_K_
@Slayer_K_ Год назад
The masters don't HAVE to be polished but if you want the final product to be polished and shiny than you'll have more sanding to do later

i get what you are doing and im sure it works fine. however if you really want to save money and time there is a easier way to do this. after you have your insert built buy some thin silicone sheets and cut to fit the shelves. that way resin does not stick to them and you can clean up with ease.

So I got to know why go spru? Seems to me this then requires you to having to clean off the spru side. Why not just get a silcone container thats at least twice as thick as your dice coat with mold release put dice in then pour in silicone enough to cover dice only, basically your filling only half of container. Once dry remove silicone from mold flip over and put back into mold exposing side that did not get cast. Coat with mold release, cut alignment notches and pour in more silicone wait till dry. Once dry separate two mold halves remove dice from mold and pour in resin align notches and cover. Once dry separate mold and no spru to contend with.

Ugh all of my dice still end up with super matte faces that contrast to the glossy un-sanded faces. I used from 120 all the way up to 3000 with zonas polishing and the plastix. I dont know where im going wrong
@dionnesimoneissmitten4436
@dionnesimoneissmitten4436 2 года назад
You need to go even higher on your grit towards he end. 8000 grit at 1 micron has done well for me. They have .5 micron. I may try this eventually. I get a pretty nice shine. (If you can avoid the 120, I would. I wouldn't start with anything lower than 400 but preferably 800. Just go with the highest that you can get away with and still remove the material that needs removed.)

I cringed at the crosscut attempt with the strips. Almost all saws come with a janky stock crosscut tool that glides in the grooves on the saw top. Use that if you have it. Otherwise, just use a miter saw.
