In this video we try our hand at making a DIY-friendly project that anyone can do as their first attempt at working with recycled plastic. We've made lots of things in the past like keyrings and other small items that are easy for beginners, but don't necessarily have an inherent value. By making objects from recycled plastic that last a lifetime, it means that they are kept out of landfill instead of just delaying their journey there.

I've got an idea for you. Maybe you could experiment with making 3D printing filament. Plastic use has gone up a lot since 3D printing got popular, so if people could get recycled filament, it might do a lot of good. You could also try recycling the discarded prototypes that always seem to go with 3D printiing. I watch a lot of makers on KZbin, and I always wonder what they do with the waste.

One note worth mentioning for beginners is to work primarily with bottle caps vs full HDPE container bottles. I've worked primarily with container bottles as I just don't come across HDPE caps frequently and it is much more difficult to work with. It does not melt quite as fast and it isn't as plyable and melty. It's definitely worth noting as it could be quite frustrating

One of the things you can learn from other crafting disciplines is how to make a cane with no air bubbles - polymer clay artists and candy makers know how to do this well. Basically, you squish the very middle into a smaller diameter and then work your way out like you're squeezing a tube of toothpaste but on all sides of the cane

I want to say this was pretty cool; but I also want to say that what you created was a spin-down d20, not a rolling d20. Spin-down d20s are used to keep track of things, like if you're playing Magic, you can use a spin-down d20 to keep track of your life points, but the numbers aren't sufficiently randomized to be a good rolling d20. It would be comparatively easy for a person to develop a rolling technique that makes it likely for the die to land on a relatively high score, if all the high numbers are grouped together in the same part of the die. For randomization purposes, regardless of the type of die, all opposing faces should add up to the same number (if there are opposing faces), to sufficiently balance the odds, and there should be as much space as possible between successive numbers.

given how soft these kinds of plastics are i could also imagine theyd be great for some very colorful woodcarving-esque projects. actually thinking about it more, the pattern on the plastic already kinda resembles woodgrain in a way so if you pick only similar colors it could actually give off a very cool colorful wood effect

What a fantastically geeky project, I love it! Could I make a suggestion? Instead of a silver marker, a Molotow chrome pen would really make the numbers pop. I use them in my action figure restorations (my contribution to keeping plastic out of landfill I suppose!) and they really are properly chrome, not like the old days. You will need to fix the chrome when it's dry, so might add a couple more minutes to the project, but it'd be well worth it. Also, just wanted to say how nice it was to meet you both at MC in May! My Mum was very impressed by the sunglasses after I'd explained what you lads do! It'd be amazing if you could do a talk next year, I'm sure loads of people who don't know what you're about would love to hear what you do, how you do it and why. Fingers crossed!

I know I commented earlier on the need for precision in dice, but had an afterthought that I wanted to share. When I was young, back before televisions were in color, we had earrings made of dice. Why couldn’t you add a screw in I-ring into the dice, add a jump ring and put them on hanging pierced earrings? They were hugely popular back in the day. Precision isn’t important and since the kids play so many dice dependent games, you would have a market for them? Just a thought.

The pattern you used to number the d20 is a spin down, as consecutive numbers are near each other, making it a good dice to keep track of a number, like health points. For rolling you should use a different pattern where consecutive numbers are almost opposite to each other to ensure your rolls are more or less balanced even if the dice isn't perfectly fair

13:58 Other comments have dealt with air bubbles affecting randomisation, but you may get comments here that this is a spin-down dice (a dice where a path exists from face-to-face from the highest value face to the lowest value face) which I hear from the magic the gathering community is not a fair dice. Note - if everyone uses the same physical dice, then you are drawing from the same random distribution and no one in particular is favoured. Edit: Stealing from my Parker dice, if someone wants a fair distribution, spinning down, the sequence is - 20, 6, 3, 7, 16, 4, 2, 10, 9, 8, 17, 19, 11, 12, 13, 15, 18, 14, 5, 1. Edit edit: while I'm writing an essay in the comments, the "Matt Parker" dice is the product of the dicelab which Matt showed off in his video, of which an explanatory video can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJmVeZJqnJuYrMUsi=w1AP8MVgrXtjjY_T
@pearceburns2787
@pearceburns2787 23 күн бұрын
*Maths nerd voice* - The concept of a fair dice is one where each side is equally likely to occur. For DnD this is the type of dice you need. I looked up a forum and a spin down exaggerates any dice defects (i.e. air bubbles, poor balance), whereas a regular patterned D20 or the Matt Parker D20 spreads the numbers around so if it's weighted with 20 being the most likely, numbers around 20 are generally lower (I think the surrounding faces of the 20 face on a standard D20 are 2, 6, 14? ). Stand-up Mathematician Matt Parker did a video at some point where he also added the condition that tried to balance the values surrounding each vertex. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnebmKKZpJmcrpIsi=f0Bl-R14u6px0jOY&t=321 Time stamped to the conversation around spin-downs. The whole video covers properties of opposite dice faces, etc.

I doubt it will actually make that much difference, the bubbles are pretty small anyway or they would show from the outside and get filled. Looking at the creation process and the results from under the chisel as it cuts I don't think there is enough bubble in the die to be any different to an injection moulded die. Would like to see the results of say 100 rolls on one of these die though - but if you do that on a commercial D20 its often far from even.

By not filling the holes that show the numbers on the dice, they will not be balanced. The dice must be equal in weight on all sides, or you will not get a true dice roll. It will probably end up with 5s and 6s more than normal dice. It is a nice thing to make though.

Beyond the certainty that these aren't weighted fairly, and that spindown arguably isn't the fairest possible number distribution for a D20, I'd question how durable these would be to repeated rolling? Something so easily hand carved gives me flashbacks to the super cheap dice that came in the super oldschool D&D boxed edition. (Though their problem was brittleness, with the corners and edges wearing away with each roll.)

Ideally creating the gridginity baseplates as well. Gridfinity is very popular in the 3D printing space right now.

Just an fyi, that acetone is melting your plastic very slightly. If you can use something else to remove the pen marks, you can probably skip the blowtorch step entirely

hey ive just started making dnd dice at home with my scrap 3d prints. what a coincidince. But in my situation its not what everyone can do. I have silicone molds that resistant to the heat that melts pla or common 3d printable plastics. I just remelt them into the molds. but in this video everyone can acvhieve relitavely same results, just a lot harder!

Super cool vídeo and crafting!... but that´s not a D20, it´s just a die counter. D20 have opposite faces add up 21, for example: 20 the opposite face is 1, 19 its opposite is 2 and so on. Not many DMs will allow it.

Thought I’d comment on a newer video but, if I wanted a thinner more bendy plastic would I just melt claps and make it thinner? looking for something thin enough it could be sewn threw

That was an awesome video on so many levels. Tell me, when you get enough random plastic scraps, cuttings and scrapings from all your projects, do they all end up mixing together to make a yuck brown colour like kids do with paints? If yes, when do you make recycled plastic poo emjois? 💩

Awesome vid! 👌 Next project put the numbers in an opposite order way. Like 20 opposing 1 and 19 opposing 2. All opposing sides equal 21 added together on D20. Same with D6, 1 opposing 6 all opposite sides add to 7.

Looks like a dicey situation! 😉 There is something I'm curious about.. Have you done any 3d printing? I just got one and I wonder if you have done any recycling with the scrap from that. It should be possible I think.. PLA has a melting point of 150-180c. Hopefully all the scraps from failed prints can be melted down and me made in to something else. Cheers! On a side note, it looks like it would be very easy to 3d print all kinds of dice

@@BrothersMake I do want to point out something. yes, its in the "super picky" category, but it bares mentioning. that isn't a true D20, its known as a spindown. there have been multiple studies and official rulings on this from various TTRPG bodies that spindowns are not a true random distribution and official games don't allow them. and yeah, obviously they aren't weighted properly either. i would absolutely use custom dice like this for counters or other things though, its still a super cool project :D
