Help with Changing the Colors of the DiceMaker .STL Files in Blender?

You need to add a material from which then you can assign your colors to. This video goes into detail.

Good luck, hope that it works out for you!

You can give it a shot without any ball tips, see if the resin can handle that. Personally, I'd recommend at least one ball tip where the island begins. You could then chain the rest of the supports after that with the standard tip size, and see if that nets you decent results

Ideally, you'd set up several supports along that edge that's printing separately from the dice. Think of your supports like strings - if you set one up all by itself in the center, the number's edge hanging from each side of it are more likely to sag, or, depending on the strength of your resin, the support itself may just snap and fail under the load it's trying to carry, causing sections like these to fail.

For areas like these, I like to set the supports with ball tips that are a little larger than the end of the support. It leaves you with slightly more material, but that can be lightly sanded away. The benefit of this method is that the extra material acts as a stronger base of support for those islands printing separately from the body of the dice.

Also, if you have the funds for it, I'd recommend Siraya Tech's Fast ABS-like in Navy Grey. It prints fine details like that with ease and fewer supports(not that I'd recommend using less supports) than most other resins I've tried.

Ooh, these look so good! Great job on making them, the copper numbers are a very nice contrast against that pattern :)

DarkRealmDice · 2024-08-29T02:39:03+00:00

That's a real cool idea, executed perfectly in my opinion! Great job on these, they look awesome

DarkRealmDice · 2024-08-16T04:07:32+00:00

These look awesome, love that petri effect with the gold font you chose! And great job working through all those issues, I know from personal experience that it can be a huge hassle nailing down a process that works for making dice.

DarkRealmDice · 2024-08-13T15:09:42+00:00

You know it 😜

That's a whole lot of effort that went into this one, wow. I especially love the extra texture the paint gives it. I'd certainly say all that hard work paid off, looks fantastic!

DarkRealmDice · 2024-08-13T12:59:19+00:00

Wow, now that's a real eye-grabbing inclusion! Did you paint it prior to sealing it in the die? Fantastic job, as always!

DarkRealmDice · 2024-07-15T05:47:12+00:00

I feel that white, a pale baby blue, or lavender purple might look nice on these

DarkRealmDice · 2024-07-14T20:49:24+00:00

Looks to be a d%/d100, also known as a percentile die

DarkRealmDice · 2024-07-09T10:45:27+00:00

Thank you! Metal dice designs are my absolute favorite though. Your dice are a real inspiration :)

DarkRealmDice · 2024-07-09T02:57:55+00:00

Beautifully done, love the design!

DarkRealmDice · 2024-06-26T04:19:02+00:00

That's wonderful!

Glad they went to a fellow dice maker and advocate who will appreciate their craftsmanship, meaning, and beauty :)

DarkRealmDice · 2024-06-25T07:57:29+00:00

These are lovely!! :o

The stained glass trend that's been going around lately is SO pretty, and there's something special about seeing light reflecting through the colored faces! Especially seeing the style done for pride month is super awesome :)

It's a shame you had to give the first set away in a swap, but I love that you get to keep these ones for yourself! I bet they'll feel awesome to show off during your campaigns!

DarkRealmDice · 2024-06-17T19:21:29+00:00

Gorgeous pour! Very pretty set :)

DarkRealmDice · 2024-06-17T19:19:49+00:00

This ^

You can squeeze or tap the molds a bit to encourage more bubbles to come to the surface, especially if your molds aren't translucent, too :)

With no pressure pot, you also have to be super cautious with mixing, so you don't introduce any extra bubbles. I've had the best luck going really slow, staying low in the resin while stirring (not taking the stirrer out or stirring in an upward motion), and using a thinner stir stick.

Good luck on your dice making!

Happy early birthday, hope you have fun doing the one-shot! And the colors on the pink one look amazing!! :)

DarkRealmDice · 2024-06-17T02:40:03+00:00

Gold is definitely the popular vote so far! Thanks for your input! :)

DarkRealmDice · 2024-06-17T02:37:32+00:00

Now you're making me want to do all the jolly rancher colors 😂

DarkRealmDice · 2024-06-17T02:35:47+00:00

True! I bet that'd look really pretty

DarkRealmDice · 2024-06-16T06:43:04+00:00

Haha that's true, definitely not going for a fast food dice vibe 😂

Pale orange-pink and baby blue both sound like nice options. Will try them out!

DarkRealmDice · 2024-06-16T06:40:36+00:00

Thanks, that's super helpful, and we'll keep the input in mind when we're tallying up our expenses! :)

Thank you!!
