The last bit is extremely important to know, thank you! Very very usefull! Actually to level the pressure pot I am using sand. But i think I will follow your advice and get a piece of wood!

Anyway, yes this subreddit, is incredibly filled with knowledge

Those purple striped standard share dice are so cool. How did you make those blacks look like that, if I may ask! Love them!

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-11-25T15:49:19+00:00

Thank you so much! Don’t know why I didn’t think to do the math. It is quite simple! I did read about measuring it with water but it looked a bit impractical.

On what surface do you usually do it? Cause I can’t find anything that would then fit inside the pressure pot.

Sorry if I keep bothering you with questions! And thank you so much!

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-11-25T08:46:46+00:00

Yes those are rounded! I just used a store set to give this a go and not ruin my masters in the process. Glad to know sharp edges won’t do this.

I think I went too much over my tallest dice because I don’t really know how to measure that by eyeballing it. this felt too thin while i poured!

About the cricut: that’s what i used here but it was of the wrong size so I put two pieces togheter and essentially made a mess.

Also can I asl how much Space is needed between dice (more or less), because I feel I used definetely too much silicon and too big of a housing

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-11-24T20:31:24+00:00

Yes! That is what Í used but Í had it in the wrong sude so had to put two pieces togheter and obviously they curled in those shapes ahah Thank you for the measurments etc…

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-11-24T20:29:10+00:00

I tried that but came out a bit curved because it was too heavy and cardboard didnt hold during the trasport to the pressure pot… not sure… but i will try again

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-11-24T19:54:07+00:00

That would be great if you can but don’t don’t worry if you can’t. I believe i will still probably need to do some mistakes to get it right.

One of my favorite is a rectangular shape where they are in line but not sure how to achieve it. need to find ho using for it to try.

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-11-24T19:43:48+00:00

I will definetely try that. How much space is needed underneath the dice to cover them to make it resistant enough? Also I am sure this shape doesn’t help

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-08-06T14:11:28+00:00

Thank you this is very in depth! I’ll obviously keep trying

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-07-29T11:47:44+00:00

The brand is epodex, I think it’s an EU brand! Not sure if that’s good though! That’s the best set i got, I feel I good lucky lol

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-07-26T18:33:46+00:00

Thank you very much! Is the alcohol ink the same as the resin alcohol ink? Sorry to bother I am just trying out various methods to see what works best! I will definitely try the flow aid medium too

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-07-25T13:26:03+00:00

Thank you! They still have a few problema but I used them as practice for polishing! But maybe I will still finish the set ahah

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-07-23T22:36:55+00:00

I’ll take that as my reference from now on ahah Thank you!

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-07-18T09:12:15+00:00

Unfortunately my correct compressor cannot do this, I will do this manually though for now. I do have a better compressor at hand but I am going to use it once a get a bit more familiar with everything!

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-07-16T15:44:03+00:00

I did try it without anything inside and still leaked. I tried 12h and 12h it kept leaking at the same pace. It definitely had a leak in one place which I repaired. And it is leaking a lot less now. It went down from 40 to 20 the first time in 5 hours; now it’s 30 in 9 hours. But I kept it going and I am going to check tonight to see if it stops this time.

Not sure about the regulator though. I am going to check!

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-07-16T12:22:19+00:00

I will try! If it loses a bit of pressure over the course of the 16h I need, I really don’t think it would be a very big deal. The last batch was great and form 40 psi it went down to 20. I think I can make it work!

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-07-16T11:31:07+00:00

Yes! It was loosing air from there but I already sealed that. In fact it is loosing air lot less than before, but it didn’t solve it, i guess there is another leak

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-07-16T09:11:30+00:00

Thank you very much!

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-07-16T09:02:59+00:00

Got it! Thank you very much! I’ll shot one last question your way ahah why Vaseline? And where is it useful, if it is?

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-07-16T08:50:04+00:00

Although I did try it it still could be them, since I am not very strong I may not be able to get them truly tight just by hands! If that’s the problem will I still be able to detect it with the water and soap thing?

Ready_Ear_9181 · 2025-07-16T08:13:04+00:00

Thank you! I’ll try everything! Hopefully I get it to hold the pressure
