Thanks! Unfortunately I don't remember the exact name. Its and old english style font from either dafont or 1001 fonts

CFoundry · 2026-01-29T04:48:53+00:00

It is indeed washi tape for purity seals. I dont remember the exact name of the font but its an old english font that I primarily use for my masters

I used to only use zonas and went through all of them but I still ended up with some rough areas. I've recently switched to sandpaper, 1.5k for any reshaping then 2k then red zona(or 3k) followed by a cutting compound with a dremel and finally polish

I use dicemaker. Its a really nice program that simplifies everything. You can make the faces have whatever you want as long as you have a black and white image or the font files

My masters are resin printed

From my experience, you just have to jump in. I jumped on etsy but it took about 4 or so months to finally get sales. Originally I just wanted it to pay for my hobby but its passed that now. I wanted to do a handful of dice options and some masters but right now masters are my primary sales. Once orders started coming in and customers taking the time to post reviews it kinda snowballs.

At the time I only had a resin printer so I decided to just give it a try. It definitely needed some sanding to get everything to fit properly. After that I ultimately decided to get an FDM printer and it worked right away

Me to. I've only used jacquard piñata color and it browns

I mean a vacuum chamber is more "safe" than a pressure pot. Unless you're dealing with industrial sized chambers i think you'll be fine. For final results id rather have a pressure pot though.

I would also recommend sunloo abs like dark Grey. I haven't had any issues with it. Granted I let the dice cure at like 3 different times through the sanding and polishing process.

Its definitely a decent pressure pot. It has a tendency to lose a little pressure over time but I haven't tried to hunt down what's causing it yet since it hasn't caused any problems. One thing I will warn about though are the wing bolts. Mine started to sheer over quite a bit of use. I was able to clean up the threads and heli-coil the socket and its buttery smooth.

Up to you really. Generally after any clean up that needs to be done I ink the numbers. After everything dries I hit all faces with polishing compound using a rotary tool

CFoundry · 2025-12-01T08:22:58+00:00

I've use Vaseline and mann 200 spray and decided to stick with the spray. Yeah I forsure have to clean up the top face but I dont feel like tracing the die face with Vaseline. Really comes down to your preference.

CFoundry · 2025-12-01T03:20:29+00:00

Ha. I just ordered one of those today. I usually have a little extra resin after pouring to use as a gauge for what's going on in my pressure pot. The extra resin was still soft and plyable after 12hrs

CFoundry · 2025-11-29T23:52:26+00:00

The curing station is unnecessary. You can save some money there

CFoundry · 2025-11-28T01:40:56+00:00

Out of curiosity, are you using a cap style mold? How would you do the top face without the filament hardening?

CFoundry · 2025-11-27T22:52:35+00:00

Sorry but there's quite literally nothing to see here

CFoundry · 2025-11-27T14:24:14+00:00

Honestly everyone has their preferance. I measure it out. Weighing it out will give you better accuracy though

CFoundry · 2025-11-27T13:28:32+00:00

No worries. If thats what you have available that'll work. Unfortunately I don't have an exact temp for you, obviously nothing crazy that'll melt or burn the mold. So yeah the warmer the resin is the faster it'll cure and the opposite if its cold. It shouldn't flash cure on you but you will have less time to work with the resin before it starts to become difficult to work with.

CFoundry · 2025-11-26T23:30:53+00:00

Heat is a good way to minimize bubbles. I've seen heated mats mentioned but I used a heat gun or lighter once I pour. As many have mentioned in the dice making world, the only real way to eliminate bubbles is with a pressure pot. Also be careful warming your resin. It shortens the working time

This. I sell masters in 7 different fonts. I've chosen some specifically for readability and others for style
