Thank you for making this! I just started working on my new molds. How large do you make your dice?

Hey there! How many Grams silicone would u recommend for the buttom and top on your different molds ? :D
@TheSmithsForge
@TheSmithsForge Ай бұрын
That’s sorta a complex answer given a few things. Firstly not all silicone weighs the same amount, and secondly you need to subtract your dice from that weight. I do the volume calculation breakdown here! (Page9) drive.google.com/file/d/1pva95C6I6Sr7hl7PejJVLOLpCsBRkMB0/view?pli=1

i tried something like this but the strugggle was the the resin didnt have space to go with the pedestals slotting in so neatly and it resulted in very lifted faces. i added resevoirs to the lid though

Playing with the angle of the platform is key to fighting raised faces, too steep and the resin will fight to escape.

@TheSmithsForge
@TheSmithsForge 5 ай бұрын
Hey, I designed for, and print mine on FDM printers. But I have had a few people print theirs in resin. Just a couple of things to keep in mind. Resin printing is harder to get dimensional accuracy, you will want to really tighten your settings with dimensional tests. Then just keep in mind that silicone reacts to certain resin for a while after it is printed.

Have you ever had an issue with the pressure squeezing the Vaseline onto the dice face? I stopped using my pressure pot for this reason. And I'm talking about minimal application of Vaseline, nothing excessive.

Personally, I have not when I used the brush. But our Vaseline is fairly think. I currently testing some other options for releases too. Hoping to have a few more videos out soon!
@makers_lab
@makers_lab 5 ай бұрын
@@TheSmithsForge While the pressure pot works, I can recommend a vacuum chamber for silicone. It degasses quickly, you can locate the curing item somewhere suitable, and it doesn't tie up equipment. Vaseline is ideal, but I dilute with white spirit to make Naphtha (Eric Strebel's favourite release agent). This gives a mix that's easier to apply and gives a thin layer. Just need to ensure the diluting doesn't introduce sulfur or anything else that causes cure inhibition with the platinum cure. No concern for tin cure. The tip about using transfer tape is a good one! Hadn't thought of that. I like the mould cases. When I was moulding a victorian doorknob I wanted a similar case, and on mine, I created two halves of the cylinder like yours, with a v shaped lip and groove down the edges so the two halves slotted together. I had a vertical wedge down the seam on the outside that a clip could be slid onto to hold the halves together. So press the halves together, slide a clip down on each side and done. The shell slotted into a base that had keys on, you'd do the pour, remove the base when set, open the halves and shift the mould, close it again, apply the release agent the top off the cavity with the second pour. Getting the base off was slightly tricky if I remember, but super satisfying like you were saying :) Tape would have been easier. Interested to see what else you come up with :)
