Hi, maybe it has been pointed out already: From my experience I solved the inhibition problen (Anycubic grey resin, just in case): - Curing under UV Light for approx 30 min - Soaked in Isopropyl alcohol for 1 hour approx - Sanded off every face and soaked again on alcohol for another hour After that I could use those 3D printed dice masters right away to make the silicone molds. Hope it helps anyone without spending a lot on Inhibit-X or other products, specially for people who is not making a ton of dice.

I can't believe it's been 3 1/2 years. I can't imagine how long I've been watching this channel, then. Finally came back to this after years of barely starting to cast resin dice. Had my Mars 2 Pro printing minis for about half a year, and that desire to make my own math click clacks is biting again. With all the knowledge from minis, I definitely wanted to look up how folks handle printing dice masters (particularly on older 50micron printers). The warping do be a real concern. Finally, it be time for me to make the custom dice set for my D&D group's long running dungeon master. Custom faces & all. Thank you for years of awesome videos, Rybonator.

And as long as u let the dice FULLY cure, I havent had any scratching on the dice at all. Translucent resin seems to cure much harder than grey or opaque resin does.

I would also recommend looking at any of your prints layer by layer to make sure that nothing is going to start printing in thin air as that will cause defects in the dice that might not be able to get sanded out. I would also use a soft toothbrush to clean the numbers out and rinse it in the alcohol a few times. You don't need new alcohol each time I use dunk it back in the same stuff. I also let all the alcohol dry off completely before throwing them in my UV curing box. That way I don't get any of that shiny resin stuff in the pits of my numbers. Other than that great video!

7:42 you can also ADD material. Get a syringe, wrap in something UV blocking (like aluminum foil), suck the resin you're printing with into the syringe and the carefully put the resin where you want it and cure under the sun or UV light and sand it to shape it. That's how you can fill holes, fix corners and just glue stuff together like regular epoxy.

Holy crap, thank you. I'm working on my first set of masters right now and tearing my hair out over mushy corners and streaky numbers. Sometimes I have decent luck fixing small divots by dabbing in the smallest possible amount of UV resin to fill the dip with a toothpick, laying a bit of clear plexiglass on top to squash it flat, and shoving the whole thing under the UV lamp to cure. The plexiglass will pop off once the resin is cured and if all goes well, you can sand and polish and it'll be fine. Sometimes it doesn't work and it definitely works better on faces than edges, but it's worth a try before you toss and reprint at least.

Update: I started the Photon going on a batch of dice before I left for work and came home to what sure as hell look like perfect dice. Won't know for sure until I sand them a little, but I saw no mushy corners or obvious streaky numbers or any of the issues that have plagued me from day one. You're a lifesaver, man.

Dice polishing: there are kids pottery wheels. I have one with a 4” plate. I use 4” beveled mirrors with zona squares taped to the top. You can then tape, clip, or use those sticky gel pads, to attach the mirror to the spinning plate. Then when you need to change grit, just swap the mirror.

Thank you for this tutorial. I was just printing my own custom designed dice and was wondering why the corners showed those exact issues you describe. Just tonight while waking from sleeping I thought to myself that I need to improve the supports, but I had no idea how. Now I have a really good starting point for my next tests.

At last!! This is GREAT. Printed up a set already. Can you post your files with supports on the islands? THANKS!!!

Great shoutout for Ameralabs resin, which is one of the best price - performance resins I've ever stumbled across. Its low viscosity makes fine detail really come out with it, and I have less overall failures due to it.

After watching your first video, It seemed difficult to order inhibit X so I lightly sprayed my masters with clear spray paint and they seemed to mold fine. Also you can correct a master with a chipped corner by dotting 3d printer resin on it and putting it back under your curing lamp for a few minutes.

Thank you for making this available!! I'm going to use it to make amd sell molds I'll make sure to add your channel and original designer in my description!!!

Supporting on edges is way to go, definitely! I do it slightly differently (and slightly better, IMHO :D). I use OpenSCAD to generate the models, with a module to add some "walls" that are either strictly tangent or slightly ovelapping on the edge. The parametric nature of OpenSCAD allows to easily make those walls go all the wall or just some part (useful if you're doing chamfered, beveled, rounded, etc. dice). I can also add those "supports" on top, to compensate any distortion by shrinking/ different tension / slightly off results. That's far less work than adding all those gazillion supports, and with perfect orientation /alignment. I did also some dice that can only be 3D printed, AFAIK, as they're hollow on the inside (with draining tubes going to the vertices); I call them "dicenamic". You can void the inside with the dual of the polyhedron, the rectified polyhedron, the same shape, etc., and the balance won't be affected, but they roll like crazy. It's still a work in progress, but if you're interested I can send you files. Cannot imagine anyone better for honest review and insight!

Perfect timing! Wanted to make my own dice for a long time, since I don't want to use someone elses model to.give away or possibly sell. Recently received my Elegoo Mars, and experienced exactly this. Thanks!

I can confirm that time will heal all that ails you with casting #D resin printed dice in platinum based silicone. I have 5 positive test now for 3D printed objects that are more than 1 month old. Sadly, my EPAX X10 is having sight issues so my experimentation has been slightly halted, but the dice I printer this summer had no issues in the mold housing I printed sometime in September or October. Hard to keep track of time these days, but if you are patient than Inhibit X is unnecessary. And the connected fin method if definitely a more consistent way to get those dice printed without issues. Now if only I could up my Blender skills to produce the supports there as a nice solid plate, my life would be slightly better.

Does anyone have any tips for keeping the dice face flat when sanding? I have a tendency to rub one edge away as I struggle to keep the face perfectly flat on the sanding paper. This is especially true for the D20 which has such small faces and using the pottery wheel to aid sanding. Am I pressing too hard? Not hard enough? Holding it wrong? I've googled about but there wasn't anything specific for dice that I could find. Many thanks in advance.

Dumb question. How do you get your supports straight in Chitubox? Mine come in at an angle and it causes curves along my edges.

For anyone struggling to get the supports straight, go to the "Middle" tab, set "Angle" to .02 Specifically, the first "Angle" value, do not confuse with one on bottom of page.

I can't tell you how excited this makes me, I was having troubles and I thought it was my printer being messed up dispite some good rest runs on minis. Hopefully this and one other change will fix my problems I'd run and do it now, but I'm with family for another week and obviously didn't lug my printer with me. T.T

I'm not sure I caught the results of the comparison. When you left out the dice, how long did you leave the out before sanding? and did it work? did you not need exhibit x?

Thanks so much for this! I have had similar results to yours, and am eager to try supporting with your method. Unfortunately it's a little cold for me to be working in a ventilated area now, so I'll probably have to wait until spring. Hopefully your video about trying the silicone molding without inhibit x will be out by then! Cheers!

Inhibit X is basically just light naptha, which means you could probably also just use the cheaper low boiling point petroleum ether or maybe even turpentine.

Hi, I really loved your video. I would like to know which font you used. I will change the D8 and I don't know the name of the source; o) If you can answer me it will be awesome!

The free dice that you put out, are they smaller than regular dice bought from Amazon? I bought some masters on Etsy and when I put them next my other dice they were smaller. I remembered you saying in your videos that you usually make dice that are larger than the other dice.

I can use Blender to add numbers and prep for printing, but building a die from scratch is beyond me my current skill set. What I've been looking for is a nice D3 .stl/.blend.

You can use a traditional uv resin to fill pits and holes. I've done it then you can sand your master smooth.

Currently working on this printing my first dice masters. Using the small supports along the edges on some test D6s are still coming out warped on those support edges (as in those faces are larger at the lower point), so I'm gonna make a batch of support variations and seeing what works better or worse. Annoyingly the prints are otherwise really sharp and nice, so at least my print settings are otherwise doing okay!

@@Rybonator totally not an issue but you don't know unless you ask. Thank you again for the awesome videos and getting me into like my 10th hobby. Maybe I'll see if I can work them into having no numbers(I do a bit of cad) when I have time.

@@Rybonator wallets are meant to have holes in them as idle hands do the devils work.

Would these methods, and the methods in your other videos about making master dice and using them to make molds, work with PLA printed dice? Or any sort of 3d printer that uses plastic instead of resin?

Think there would be any tweaks needed for rounded edge dice where there aren't fine points/edges like yours in the video? I just put one in the printer so I guess we'll see!
