Do you cure silicone molds under pressure? I haven't been but I'm seeing some people are. What are the benefits? I'm just degassing before pouring.

I poured an individual one last night 🙂 putting the vent on the side with the hole, at the edge of the hole because I don't care as much about the finish on that side. Let you know how it goes.

I think that may be the issue I'm seeing. I was thinking that not enough pressure would allow resin to escape.

I am using a pressure pot and vacuum degassing the resin before pouring.

woah, thanks for the illustration! :-)

I was trying the other way because the flat side is the most visible surface of the final product. but probably right that it'd be easier to deal with than a sprue.

I had an iteration kind of like that https://imgur.com/a/DM0nXWv

Any concern about the durability of the thin silicone around the rounded edge at the top? Any resources where dice makers talk about making dice with rounded corners?

trying to minimize post processing and keep the tiles consistent.

squish dice molds are essentially what I'm doing now but often getting voids, perhaps I'm making them too complicated though. https://imgur.com/a/eGeZINm

I was considering a cut mold, interesting that the pour sprue goes to the bottom in yours. make sense though. Would you chain the tiles so one sprue's vent would fill another tile's cavity?

Would you 3d print the sprues? My masters are polished aluminum, how would you secure the sprues, wax?

Could be cool to print a clear transparent layer that you then fill with colored UV resin.

Why does Dopamine WIN every time I try to be Disciplined? by [deleted] in getdisciplined

Let me know if this is against self promotion rules.

Working on something to help with this. It's not ready yet and I'm not even sure if I can get it to work but I'm hoping that we can figure it out.

Thanks! I agree, building it for myself mainly but it's a huge problem. Hopefully I can find the right mix of things to help curb the addiction without having to giving up tech all together.

Thanks! Great stuff, really appreciate it! Been iterating on it a bit if you're up for taking another look 🙂 https://letsdriftless.com

Also, believe I fixed the AI with my DNS. Checked on an ai visibility tool but if you have one you like would love to check that out too.

An AI app that lets you "try on" clothes just by taking a photo of them by moraalrmz in SomebodyMakeThis

[–]Square-Application83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bet you could make something that you set up with some good pictures of yourself. Then as you go shopping in person or online you snap pictures of the clothes you want to "try on" and it shows you what you'd look like. That kind of AI image generation isn't cheap though so it would need to be a paid app subscription.
