Nope! I haven’t modified the inside air flow of the pressure pot. If I put something directly under the air flow it can splatter, I just try to fill it up slowly.

Sorry for responding late, what I mean is adding an l shaped pipe, ( sorry for the suggestion even though you clearly said you didn’t need any) the air is directed at the sides of the pressure pot that way nothing gets hit directly, I’ve done that to my modified one, and its also preinstalled in my new pressure pot ^_^

The silicone I use is soft enough that it stretches enough to let the sprues slide through.

@@fireboltdice867 thats really cool! Ive been having some issues with my dragon skin 10 medium, its so thick its hard to pour in small batches for me and at least with individual molds I need to put my pot at a very low PSI (25) otherwise I seem to be getting some pretty bad warping. I'm hoping that won't happen once I make a slab mold.

Yep!

127mmx70mm!

@@fireboltdice867 I forgot to ask if those where outside or inside measurements.

@@mrjrm0868 inside.

Saves time, mostly! Don’t have to worry about which lid is which, or accidentally putting it on the wrong one or wrong direction.

@@fireboltdice867 ah that makes sense :) I was just thinking about saving silicone, but now you've said it, I can see that mixing up lids could be a problem. Thank you again

They’ll be back! You can sign up on my website to be notified when they return!

@@fireboltdice867 will do!

exactly , it's the better mix of all other technic. The only problem is the quantity of silicon needed !

I've been considering making them again at the end of this month! I'd keep an eye on my social media (Instagram/Twitter/Facebook) to see if they return!

This is exactly what I was thinking. I can justify my expensive Hoby with my other expensive Hoby lol

Every silicone is different. This one is 75 minutes. But I’ve used others that are 24 hours.

You do, but I leave my masters in a warm and well ventilated place for 2-4 weeks after printing, and that gives them enough time to degas and not cause cure inhibition.

@@fireboltdice867 oh so if I printed my dice I just need to leave them about a month before molding them without inhibitx? That's great news 😁

@@chaosisbeautiful yep! Though not all resins take the same amount of time, so I recommend doing a mold of a single d6 before doing something as big as a full slab mold just to be safe.

@@fireboltdice867 thanks for your help! 🙂

I do not, sorry!

@@fireboltdice867 darn. Lol

At this point I’ve tried Dragonskin, sorta clear, moldmax, and Moldstar. Moldmax is my favorite, but the cure time and extreme flexibility of Dragonskin make it ideal for dice. Most other silicones kill my hands trying to get the dice out of the molds. But you’re not wrong, Dragonskin doesn’t tear, but it does lose its shine pretty quickly.

The piece of junk you're talking about is enough for the job.... So why not save a buck?

@@nourson54 because it isn't. I didnt call it a piece of junk because it is up to the task. If you get one and it doesn't leak or have obvious damage you got lucky. Look at all the tutorials on how to convert it then watch a video of that same person using a pressure pot. You will notice the harbor freight pot is normally never seen again or is on a shelf as a decoration, almost never will it actually be used.

I do not spray the dice! The only time I spray mold release is before pouring the lid.

@@fireboltdice867 I ask because in the video, after you place the sprues in, you use the mold release, just after taking out the sprues. . But I don't see you put anything on the dice face you can see, you just spray the release agent on, including the dice faces. Hence my question.

@@WarbearPrime oh! I see. Yes, the one dice face does get sprayed. It does give it a satin finish instead of a glossy one. However, because of the sprue that face needs to be sanded and polished anyway. So I find it doesn’t really change the process.

@@fireboltdice867 Awesome, thanks for that!

I have made the pedestals on thingiverse to “standard” dice sizes. I actually don’t use standard sizes for my dice. So the pedestals I use are different than those on thingiverse. Sorry!

@@fireboltdice867 Awesome, thanks. I've not polished them yet but these seem to fit nicely in case anyone's looking - www.thingiverse.com/thing:4704831

I leave all the 3d printed parts in a sunny spot for 2-4 weeks before making a mold. That way I have no cure inhibition!

Haha, I definitely didn’t start with a pot life that short, but as I got more confident I realized I could handle it, and the 75 minute cure time means I can crank out the molds!

Hello! I'm far more active on my social media, @FireboltDice on Instagram and Twitter. I am definitely still making! My website is www.FireboltDice.com and I have sales roughly every 6 weeks. My next sale should be some time in February!

I use a wheel myself! I do the sanding step by hand so I have more control, but I use the wheel with the papers. I recommend a wheel of at least 5” in diameter. Any smaller and it’s easy to wear groves into the dice with the circular motion unless you’re careful.
