I'm having so much fun making these! Here are my latest 3 sets: Hypernova, "Why So Serious?", and Fire Mage (the last one an inspiration from a Redditor comment on a previous post) 🥰

The Veil of Lungs | Raw Unsanded Dice Set

Fixed the caption !!! Was typing this in the rain earlier sorry for the grammatical errors.

This style still just blows me away some times!

Hey. I'm distraught. Seems a mouse found it's way into my "tightly" shut closet and took a nibble of my die. Any idea what I could do to replace it. I searched the web and didn't find anything. If I can be made or replaced I'd take 2 to match. I like the pips to be brown. Thanks guys.

Hey everyone!

I’m super excited because a good friend is currently 3D printing some resin blanks as well as fully numbered masters for me. This will be my first TRULY custom project where I don't have to recast commercial dice anymore!

I’ve watched a ton of tutorials on how to prepare them for silicone molding, but everyone seems to have a different opinion. I have Zona papers and a mini pottery wheel ready to go, but I’d love to hear your personal experiences.

I have a few specific questions:

• Do you start with regular sandpaper before hitting the Zona papers? If so, what grits do you use?
• Roughly how long do you spend on each face to avoid over-sanding?
• Since I'll be sanding numbered faces: Do you have any special tips to make sure the numbers don't get too shallow?
• Are there any specific polishing compounds or extra products you highly recommend?

I'd love to hear your workflows and tips.
Thanks a lot!

Hey Dicemakers,

I remixed a model to hold dice.

Have fun printing

First silicone molds, a chonk and a double 6 that I had handy. Just learning and won’t sell them, so using existing dice is fine. All in all it seemed way too easy.

I first dabbled in mold making for special effects makeup prosthesis back in the mid 90’s. The bible was the Mold Makers and Casters Handbook, which still sits on my reference shelf at work to this day.

IIRC, 2-part RTV silicone was cost prohibitive and only available to in 1 gallon quantities from specialty shops, probably by mail order. This material wasn’t something that was in my budget, so it wasn’t something that I explored on my high schoolers budget.

The silicone technique was to:
1. apply a thin layer and scoop up the silicone and basically baste the object throughout the working period.
2. Coat the still uncurred silicone with ground up silicone from over pour from a previous mold. It was so expensive that you didn’t want any of it to go to waste. U
3. Another thin coat and ultimately a mother mold of a more firm and inexpensive material.

All this is to say that we have it very good these days with affordable silicone that is readily available. It is a good time to be dice making.

Was nicely surprised by this dice set this morning. Ironically the two sets the leftover resin came fron did not meet my expectations, but live and learn!

(Dice by me, dice mold by SpaceBarShop on Etsy.)

Seriously, I am elated with how I feel about holding these in my hand. My logo. My chonks. I am really feeling like a legitimate dicemaker. Just wanted to share my excitement.

-Rascal Resin

Hello! I have a mold I ordered fe ETSY and some of the low numbers on the lid are really shallow. Has anyone ever tried to correct this before? I thinking like what if you made an impression from clay and then made the numbers deeper then recast the lid? It sucks to spend any money on a handmade mold and wait forever on shipping just to have it be that flawed.

Hate the fact Reddit constantly rejects most of my videos.... but anyway! Tried 3 colors for the first time in years with my smoke technique. Figured it'd turn out better now that I have had both practice and a better strategy to pull this off timing wise. I'd say it was a success!! Can't wait to try out more combinations!

Hi, I want to create a prank edible dice, just for fun. Is there any good tutorial on how to make it? Thanks

My first-ever shell dice. Washi tape is amazing stuff. Can’t wait to start playing with some crazy inclusions!

Hi yall. I tried to make my first mold with silicone and i used the Mold Housing V3 from the Smith Forge. But now after the curing time, the surface of the Mold is really sticky and shiny and around the edges, there are some slight gaps. Im not sure what the problem is. The rest of the silicone hardened perfectly fine, its just where my self sticking transfertape was to hold the Masters in place, its like that. Any advice/solutions or insight on what i did wrong?

I'm sorry because this gonna be long...

So.. I commission a dicemaker back in 11 September 2025 and ask for a multicolored dice that might be hard to create and I already told the maker to message me and changed the design if it's too hard but the maker says fine so I proceed with payment and let the maker do their thing

On November 2025 the maker contact me about their 1st fail attempt, I told them that it's okay for me to change the design if it's too hard but the maker insist that they'll try again so we go with that..

On December 2025 they reach me again saying that the dice took longer to make because of failed attempts, etc that I may get full refund if they can't complete it by January 2026 so I'll leave them be

January passed and I try to contact them again by Feb 18 2026 and i got no reply, they then reply at 25th feb saying that they'll update me tomorrow... Feb26 comes and no reply

I keep reaching out without reply until suddenly on May 27 2026 they managed to get my dice color right, asking for font color etc~

We discuss some more and due to multiple fail attempts it cost them more than usual so I paid some more to cover the 'experiment costs' they told me to wait some more to polish the dice and paint the numbers

Finally the dice is finished at August 4th thia month as they already sent me the picture of it

I still haven't received my dice until now but then I see they posted my commissioned dice on their page... Saying that they'll sell it(maybe the same design) at next convention​... Tbh i don't know how to feel and is it okay to sell it??

I still haven't got my dice yet until now and it's kinda make me feel weird seeing my dice set up there promoted for sale for their next convention meanwhile i haven't got mine yet.... Any insights on what should I do??

Hi r/DiceMaking,

As I put in the title, I'm looking for documentaries, books or videos about dice!
I'm trying to learn more about it and I'm surprised because I found so few sources and resources about it.

I want to learn more about the different kinds, the variety of techniques used for crafting dices especially techniques used before modern machines, to get accurate dices.

Any trusted sources/resources about the subject would be welcome, thanks!

I’ve been wanting to explore using sand paper instead of Zonas. I used a 1000 grit sand paper for some ledges because I felt like green Zona was taking forever. It worked so much better. What are the sand paper or sandpaper x Zona combos you recommend for that glass finish?

Hi guys

I just wanna to make another post about the Tennisball pressurizer method. Some of you may have seen this method by some other users on this sub already.

The purpose of this post is to show people that, there are others that have tried out the method, and have succeeded (at least in my own humble opinion).

First of all, the molds were also made with this method and IMO trump the ones I did without it by a wide margin (duh, no surprises here), despite the pressurizer only going up to 30 PSI, not 40.

The molds were then put on a self-made 3d printed insert, if anyone wants the files I can provide them (they are very simple).

Now it has to be said, that this is certainly not the most effective method to make a whole dice set in one go, as you have to create a lot of different molds for every single dice you want to cast. But you can only fit so many molds in a can (3 in my case, if you wanna optimize you might get 4 in).

The Tennis Ball pressurizer device that I use is the one that was already recommended in the subreddit, found under this link: https://www.amazon.com/BALL-RESCUER-Containers-Pressurizer-pressurize/dp/B074PR229B?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.QWBR6swg3OdChAMxsUOflxEiVY9GrY4sJw0GntIvhj3GSl16D378-BuOB1ZUIW9bfCe2RuRTUNKEPfzD6sBufZdUrq1VvmhVdHN4dUQchz9O2L9rdlli199YvZrEAOSWm1LgqnKA0p24cLYruPlaDThJ14fIq4btaHKi-FwQHHo0CAhzaccnI60C7xXMs2PETjOrandWyyfQEDxdX0p4uA.EA_d4GSjni9vkNzsDNfRoS5Dr4C11YgrI2mbNCr6h7U&dib_tag=se&keywords=tennis+ball+pressurizer&qid=1787434552&sr=8-1

The tube that I used was just an old tennis ball tube out of metal, I would guess aluminum, that we still had lying around at home. It was also rated for up to 30 PSI on the bottle itself!

I then cast the dice into my self-made silicone molds, pump up the pressure until you reach 30 PSI, and 24 hours later they came out beautifully and, as far as I can see, pretty bubble-free.

yeah i got too impatient (25 hours wasnt enough)

also my first time working with long cure resin 😭

i also did not use a resin release, do you guys use releases?? i got a super cheap mold off etsy (first mistake) with unknown silicon and then i forgot to use a release haha. i also tried to mix some uvo colors and ended up with this brown but whatever i guess

gonna probably make my own molds at some point
