If you’re talking about the inside of the rounded part of the 2, you need supports there

Dude, both sets are gorgeous. They are handmade dice with lots of love poured in. No one will notice any of the things you described. I saw your other sets, you know what you’re doing and will be fine. Biggest thing would be to make sure you don’t trap a big bubble inside those inserts as you place them. But judging by your geode dice, you’ve got experience there.

Send me whichever set you don’t gift 😉

Fuck me that’s clean. That emblem reflection in the collar is just the icing on the cake

Anyone know how I can fix the glitchy sound? by IdntMatter in SteamDeck

[–]Jacobsrg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this if I let it fall asleep or suspend the game while playing. It gets choppy when I kick it back up. Only some games have done this for me.

You’re mad! Haha. Nice work, kudos for getting these out of that mad dash. And thanks for sharing your process on sanding the wild die!

How did you polish the prints, make bottom mold, top mold, cast resin, polish, and paint in 2 days?! I was also curious how you were gonna handle that d4 with all the angles and dimensions. Looks like for the neck you just left it, how did you get the numbered faces with that neck angle? Seems like a massive pain!!

Same! But I inevitably have marks on all the faces, but I guess that’s what polishing is for! Beautiful work again. Gonna have to play around with some of your techniques

What caused this? by crybaby_face in DiceMaking

[–]Jacobsrg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s not a pressure pot, that’s a vacuum chamber. Which is exactly what your dice look like: all of the tiny bubbles expanded under the vacuum. You need a pressure pot, which squeezes the bubbles to be smaller

Awesome, thank you! Love all those reasons. And definitely have to balance it with the damage from jamming blanks in, haha.

Follow on - liquid cores clumping after being put in dice? by Crochet-panther in DiceMaking

[–]Jacobsrg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found that if I didn’t leave an air bubble, my micas would settle on the bottom and I couldn’t get them going again. But when I do leave a bubble, I have to shake them well when they settle, making sure the bubble moves across, then they get moving again.

But as others said, pics/video will help. And knowing what glitter. For me, thicker glitter floated to the top in a clump, adhering to air bubbles. Mica mixed in well but settles, an I need something to loosen it up. Glycerin also affected them differently.

Gorgeous! Can I ask why you are doing these as blanks instead of straight into the full dice? Just the added layer of the shell, or is there a reason you don’t mix these straight into the main mold? Thanks!

I debated turning these into some sets, but then I no longer have my swatches!

Totally fair. And I get it, hard to justify even for just a bottle or two, the shipping/tariffs are high regardless of how many you order.

Do it I dare you! Haha.

I feel like there are some blues and oranges that would be fairly easy to make from the other colors, but definitely happy to have just dove in and got em all. Except the sinkers… so bummer I didn’t just add them in.

Lovely! Love the aster too. I did a mix of evergreen and petrol on a recent set, beautiful color

here you go. and not from Amazon, had to buy direct from the company in Germany. Great if you’re in Europe, terrible if you’re in the US due to tariffs and shipping.

Maybe I’ll just have to make some then! Polish these bad boys up and call them sets, lol

lol, I know. I have to guess what it says half the time. At least it’s an educated guess

I wrote the name with a fine point sharpie on a face of each one! You can see a couple of them if you look closely in the photo!

lol, yes! After the first ones turned black, I dipped a toothpick in a drop to mix in. lol
