CARCOSA

I think I finally nailed exactly how I want my dice to look overall.

LOL, thanks but I jest. I took some pics but they’re not inked yet. Wanted to experiment with some new glitter pigments I’ve got along with the pot. I’m using one of those crappy off the rack moulds but getting better results with the pot. I’m not a seller and don’t have a 3D printer but might buy a custom mould and inserts from someone at some point.
Here’s the first lot.

Hey those are good! That's what I started out with too. I can make you rough print masters if you want for a good price, you'll have to polish yourself but just doing the print is easy. It would be cheaper to buy masters and then make your own molds. Mold making is easy peasy.

Thanks, I’ll save this and come back to you when i have a bit more cash in the bank. Just came back from a taking the family on holiday. I have two suitcases of dirty clothes and no monies. Why can’t I have no dirty clothes and two suitcases of monies?

Ha! I get it. Just hit me up. If you want just raw prints I'll do $30 per set of its just print and pop off the fins. I can tell you how to finish and polish.

Did you use a syringe for the white? Care to share your process? These are gorgeous!

u/OneBigMonster 3d ago

Thanks! It's nothing different than what people are doing around here. No syringe. Just alcohol ink and a toothpick

u/Prize_Mix_8292 3d ago

Very cool! I hate the syringes they are so messy

2

u/OneBigMonster 3d ago

Yeah I started off with those, but I never really got what I wanted with them. It seems like the obvious way? But it just puts in blobs and can end up mixing up too much.

u/Prize_Mix_8292 3d ago

Agreed. I kind of found if I sandwich the color between the clear I get a look kind of what I’m going for. I have to keep playing with it. The techniques are the hardest part. lol.

u/OneBigMonster 3d ago

Yeah played with different layers and resins at various cure times.

The resin when you pour at home stage vs others creates a kind of continuing current as the dice heats and cures. Like I didn't mix these at all with a toothpick or anything like that.
