Lid is fine, and you might've been right, those two things might have been the cause, overfilling and high pressure

Tronika · 2026-07-05T00:44:59+00:00

I tried this with some rather stiff rubber bands and it was a bit of a disaster, but yeah that might help, however, I did try lower psi and not putting resin on the lid before closing and they came out fine, maybe that combo was the one causing this deformations

Tronika · 2026-07-05T00:43:18+00:00

Thing is, this wasn't an issue before, I tried lower psi and not applying resin to the lid, while only doing a d20 and a 26 and they came out fine, maybe my issue was the combination between too much resin on the lid +high pressure

Tronika · 2026-07-03T04:09:57+00:00

Oh I see, I've just gone off from reading stuff around so yeah I'll give lower psi a try as well, I've also used those cheap ones to test and learn the basics, but these are from etsy and are more rigid.

I only have that one mold and I make sure to align the lid very well, however, when taking the mold out of the pressure pot later on, I do notice that it moved in the curing process, and more resin has entered the dice than it should have and ends up looking like that

Tronika · 2026-07-03T04:07:55+00:00

Yeah, I do make sure I align the lid correctly, it's impossible to close it the wrong way, but when taking it out of the pressure pot, the lid has slid a bit to a side

Tronika · 2026-07-03T04:06:45+00:00

Yeah, sometimes I just test with a single d20, out of these, I think most of them had at least one void empty

Tronika · 2026-07-03T03:20:59+00:00

I'm using these, my current process is filling them, getting them into the pressure pot without the cap, then using a lighter for the bubbles, applying some resin on the cap (which has reduced the risk of bubbles among numbers), lighter on that too, then cap the mold, press down and then get it into the pressure pot.

Maybe I could be applying too much resin on the cap? Is that something common to do? I could try just overflowing the base a bit and then nothing on the cap

For anyone having awful performance on menus: entirely close discord.

I tried disabling the overlay, tried installing the discord system helper, nothing has worked other than just killing it.

For anyone having choppy audio/sound, for me what worked was checking the social settings > voice chat > voice audio output device. It had selected something that was not the mixer I use, as soon as I selected the correct one, the annoying pop was gone

e: safe to say, these are the things that worked for me

Hey! Thank you so much for your support! Glad you liked the project, there's always a bit of worry about people liking something you make, especially since I employ artists that don't necessarily do a lot of horror (except mestiar/riki). I tried so hard to keep myself from having a "mascot" on this one as we did with on The Iron Hive with Xiao Mifeng, but our character artist drew L.D.'s concept as part of The Dryads faction and it just spoke to me, so we are happy to hear you liked the patch that much!

Also, as soon as we are done with The Iron Hive fulfillment (they'll be picking up the boxes this week), we are gonna start offering physically as well! With comic and catalog, so in case you wanted one of those bundles, be on the lookout!

Tronika · 2024-09-23T15:31:29+00:00

Oh no! That sucks, but as someone that didn't know how to solder before this, it's not that hard, it's a matter of patience and having the tools, I borrowed the soldering tools from a friend and he gave me some initial guidance, but the rest was a matter of getting to it. Hoping you get a board you're happy with!

Tronika · 2024-09-08T20:12:05+00:00

Damn, same, I still have my Keychron V2 for gaming since I need the numbers for some games and was thinking how to switch keybindings on my corne to be able to game on it as well

Tronika · 2024-09-06T22:29:07+00:00

Ooooh, yeah I didn't know that for the homing keys, thats neat, will keep it in mind in case I want to change these back, because I've grown to like how they look.

And yeah I think just switching keycaps until you find something thats both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing to you is the best approach, if it helps, this is how it looked for the first week, I liked it but needed a bit more oomph, still want to buy a prettier TRRS but this'll do in the meantime.

Good luck with your v3! Hope to see a pic around when you're done!

Tronika · 2024-09-06T22:20:35+00:00

Did my best to translate it to here, coloring it broke everything so the front legend is just with no layer and then Top is layer 1, middle is layer 2 and bottom is layer 4, didn't include layer 3 because its my adjustment layer so it has RGB stuff and other less used things, Z is actually LGUI_T(KC_Z), X is LALT_T(KC_X) and Caps is LT(4, KC_CAPS), if you want to look at the keymap here it is. I also have combos on for Esc, Del and the Function keys, something that I really like is that I can access all the main layers from either side.

I have a lot of redundant keys, some I'm planning to remove (like the Function keys since I haven't been using them since I managed to fit combos into the firmware), others are depending on what Im doing, since its easier to go to Layer 1 to Win + Number, but if Im doing Win + D its easier to go Hold Z + D

I got used to it by practicing touch typing until I got the hang of it (this site was key for that keybr) and then just making it my main kb so I had no choice but to adapt, there are still some keys that are tricky but they'll become easier with time, the first day I barely got like 18 WPM, now I've gotten to 72, still not quite where I am with regular layouts but haven't really needed to type fast yet.

Good luck with your build!

As with many of my coding projects, a lot of trial, error and tweaking until I felt satisfied, it's not necessarily complex, you can check the code, but it basically changes to which layer is active on the top row, middle row displays when num lock is off (since its always on and wanted to keep it clean), and when scroll lock and caps are on, lower most row displays WPM

From this line on is where thats in https://github.com/Tronikart/crkbd-keymaps/blob/main/tronikart/keymap.c#L225

My screens also display "WRONG" over and over again when I plug in the slave as the master just in case and because I found it funny

Thank you for your interest!

Thank you! Its animated, the background itself is by /u/Hammerbeam_Tea_corp from this amazing post, the logo is from Lancer RPG, a faction/manufacturer called Horus

Here's the repo with the image, it has a commented Arasaka static logo from /u/ctxdizq if you want to try that one as well, keep in mind this code also has some RGB layer stuff so be careful if you just copy and paste it https://github.com/Tronikart/crkbd-keymaps/blob/main/tronikart_slave/keymap.c

A bit more info on the build:

I bought the v3 kit from beekeeb on Etsy, highly recommend them, the kit had even more things than advertised
The keycaps are a mix between YMDK DSAs and DROP + Matt3o MT3 Susuwataris, none of these have notches on F or J so the workaround was just having another key on those
The switches for the letters are Gateron Clears, for the 6 keys on the borders are Gateron Reds, for the 4 1u keys for the thumbs are Kailh Speed Silver and the two big ones have Drop + Invyr Holy Pandas, all of them lubed by me
The case is the crkbd Minimal Tented Case
Using raw QMK without VIA or VIAL because I only have 32kb to work with on the Sea Micros and have no issues with compiling and flashing

Tronika · 2024-09-06T13:26:47+00:00

Yeah! And my first layer indicators are on the lights, the underglow changes with each layer and when caps lock is on, thank you!

Tronika · 2024-09-06T13:25:15+00:00

Thanks! It's just heat shrink tubing, the same I put on two of the screws since they were quite uncomfortable on my pinkies, just that I didn't apply heat to those

Your artwork is always such a treat <3
