I Made Brass & Resin Dice Galaxy Dice

Sometimes you set out to make dice, and accidentally make an entire galaxy in your hands. I wonder if God intended to make Dice and WHOOPS- now we have humans, free will, and fire-ants. Can't win 'em all.
Check out the Vision of a Thousand Galaxies Crowdfunding Campaign from Wild Earth Dice - www.backerkit.... (Buy a big ol chonk and intimidate everyone else at the table. Or make a staff out of it... That'd be cool.)
If you want your own shell molds, Drew over at Dicey_Encounters would be happy to make you a set, just shoot him an e-mail at - [e-mail] (not sponsored, he's just a buddy and makes rad molds!)

RYBO MADE NEW DICE NATURE IS HEALING

[@Rybonator]

And so the flowers bloomed, the trees began to blossom in the sunlight, and as the dew rests upon the grass, RYBO MADE SOME NEW DICE THAT KICK ASS

[@Z3DT]

@@Rybonator Man every time a video comes by the itch to start dicemaking myself gets harder to ignore, but I don't really have a place to store the supplies in my tiny 1-bedroom apartment. Also, it's near impossible to get a pressure pot for a non-exorbitant price.

[@Crits-Crafts]

Good to see you back. Hope you're little family are doing well

[@Rybonator]

Doing great my friend, thanks for asking

[@cathyb7774]

I clicked as soon as the notification came in. That's some awesome therapy for my dice-hoarder-heart. These dice rule and look awesome.

[@janisi9262]

Welcome back! The fuzzies are from whatever paper towel you used. You probably have the softer, fluffier ones intended for home use, but for wiping down resin with alcohol, the stiff, commercial paper towels work better; they have less fuzz. If you try those and it still doesn't work, try Kimwipes. They are delicate task wipes that are lint-free to the point that you won't find lint even under a microscope.

[@Rybonator]

Oh I like the idea of something specific like the Kimwipes, I'll look into those! Thanks my friend :)

[@Kylemembert]

Another idea would be lens cleaning wipes for cameras.

[@beezany]

@@Rybonator a microfiber cloth might help to remove the fuzzies that are already stuck on

[@radiorecon1775]

Rybonator, after I ink my dice, I use your method with the alcohol to remove any excess ink. Afterwards, I spray the dice with 99% IPA and use a microfiber towel to wipe off the dice. No fuzz. Also, to limit the alcohol ink, try a toothpick. Drop the ink onto a toothpick, let it drop off, then submerge into your poured resin. I use this technique to achieve wispy smoke colors in the dice. Hope this helps. Happy dice making, brother. Thanks for inspiring me to get into dice making!!!!

[@Rybonator]

I am absolutely gonna do the spray and microfiber cloth method! Thanks for the tip my friend! Also that's awesome! I hope you enjoy the hobby as much as I do :)

[@radiorecon1775]

@Rybonator oh I am definitely enjoying the hobby, and so are my DnD group members. Lol

[@AxeLea3]

[@ccc4251]

while shop rags work, you can also use those cheap "public bathroom paper towels" from your local home depot or costco. i use em all the time when i clean my bathroom mirrors and never have a lint problem. it's way cheaper and you can throw em out right away

[@chasonlapointe]

So glad to see you back and making dice!

[@Raven_Leblanc]

LO AND BEHOLD, THE KING RETURNETH FROM HIS QUEST TO BLESS US WITH HIS KNOWLEDGE! All jokes aside, good to see a video from ya. I hope you're doing well!

[@Stef_T-G]

A new Rybonator! For the fuzz you need a lit free wipe 😊 nail people use that a lot! You'll find them with nail stuff at any store you can found nail polish!

[@lvsmagic]

HE'S BACK BABY! So pumped to see a video from you! For the final step of my dice I go back in with the white zona on my small pottery wheel and hit every side for a few seconds. This really helps get off any streaks or material left over after wiping them with alcohol and just makes them super clean and clear. A bit much but once I started doing that last step I can't not do it haha

[@stephenthomas8312]

I'm at work so Amber definitely beat me this time. Glad you're back! We were just saying the other day how we were hoping for a new video from ya! Hopefully all is well with the Rybo Fam!

[@Rybonator]

Should be back for good now! Hopefully you get your fill more often :) Fam is doing wonderful, thanks for asking

[@osirisatot19]

Glad to see you back. I have a metal shavings and scraps too, but they are steel from blacksmithing so I think that would be much more difficult to get to make good dice that roll properly out of.

[@AvinashArora0]

Microfiber for those little fuzzes. You can use the microfiber with the alcohol and avoid them in the first place too. I have a "cleaning cloth" meant for cleaning TV screens, it's basically the microfiber you get with a new pair of glasses but the size of a paper towel. Godsends those things are, I got mine from the brazilian rainforest.

[@aaronpaulus3492]

[@BlondLanfear]

These are contenders for my favorite set you've ever made! I like the depth of the purple here, but would definitely be interested in seeing other iterations of the concept~

[@Sootielove]

Gorgeous dice! Brilliant colour choices

[@zxsq_]

to get smaller drops of ink you can put a luer lock/slip needle in whatever size you want over the bottle nozzle, its the correct size to interface

[@Rybonator]

[@шибкоумнаяоднако]

This set ROCKS! I have only one set of dice and it's purple galaxy, so your set looks like mine - just elevated to the sky. 11:03 - I totally agree with your conclusion that there is too much happening inside other dice and they also too thick to hold your intended vibe. I suppose, if you want to make "a drop if ink in water" effect, it's better to use a clear inner dice, or, maybe, a bit milky to emphosise the ink.

[@charliekendall7511]

Using a microfiber cloth is a great way to remove the after-alcohol smudges, and a bit of scotch tape is amazing for the dust!

[@stealthskater66]

Pro tip - when you get to the last zona paper you should use some polishing compound like scratch x in conjunction with water. Total game changer

[@Rybonator]

Will report back on this!

[@renata3559]

Good to see you appear in the subscriptions again. I finally got to the point i could make my own molds and dice. Not so lucky yet with the dice themselves sadly, lot of voids and bubbles. You really inspired me

[@Rybonator]

You'll get there, just keep practicing! :)

[@sambegley1273]

Glad to see you back! Maybe you can dip a needle (or a toothpick if the needle is too small) in a drop of the alcohol ink and then dip it into the resin to avoid getting too much color in the dice.

[@Rybonator]

That was my thinking! I'll have to give that a shot

[@nobody2.076]

I was so excited when I saw a the new video! I think I have to give shell molds a try soon, looks like even more work but also fun... I also had the fuzz problem and solved by using a microfiber cloth (probably any cloth will work) instead of paper. Hope that helps :)

[@slickseviper9758]

and on the 100th day the clouds parted. and a ray of light cascaded through the land focusing on the summoning crystal. It glowed a wicked black that turned gold and royal, we avert our eyes to find when we opened them the crystal was gone. The goblin had returned.

[@ThaneBishop]

It's odd that this video doesn't have Howard Shore music in the background, because I'd swear that this is the return of the King, let's gooooo

[@Rybonator]

"My friends, you bow to no one."

[@TheLoopyTiger]

To get a smaller drop of alcohol ink, I use the tip of a toothpick. I don't know how to explain it properly, but if you run the ink down a toothpick then when the drop at the tip of the pick is the size you want, you just touch the resin with it. Also when it comes to removing the excess paint after doing the numbers, I do a quick polish with the white zona, then after rinsing in water a buff with a glasses cleaning cloth.

[@Rybonator]

Perfect idea! I'll have to try it. A lot of people are saying to use the microfiber cloths, so y'all seem to have a good thing going!

[@PKMNResearcherSkyler]

Those dice are so pretty, also Rybo has returned! Woo!

[@Rybonator]

[@Verity_Reigns]

Ah the return of the king bringing us more precious shinies that would totally be worth jumping into lava over! Welcome back! The dice of course turned out beautifully. I actually really like how the purple ink formed around the dice.

[@Rybonator]

That sounds perfect! I'll absolutely try that. Thanks Andrew!

[@shakesluh3029]

You gotta find the honey stage for your resin. Let it sit until it seems almost unpourable, then do everything exactly like you did it here.

Microfiber cloth or even cotton qtips have worked great for me to avoid fuzzy

[@Rybonator]

The cloth seems to be the consensus!

[@damealeta3541]

Wow! Those are really pretty! There is nothing I don't like about them. Perhaps if you use some lint free towels like you use on good glasses to dry them it will cut down on the lint. Or put some Static Guard spray on one of those towels and rub them with it. I don't know what the weather is like where you are but if it's windy or stormy it could be affecting the cling factor. Good to have you back!

For the alcohol ink, try dipping a toothpick or skewer in it and swirling it that way! It should create more of that whispyness that you're looking for because it deposits less ink.

Oh man! Those dice look AMAZING!! I love the purple. Just a personal take, you need to do a final wipe down with something like a microfiber cloth or a t-shirt. Paper towels are full of lint, that will stick to eeevvvveerrrything.

[@Rybonator]

Yeah I absolutely should have done that- less fuzzies would make for way better shots haha. Glad you liked them!

[@CardsOfFate]

​@@Rybonator Absolutely! Long time viewer, probably since around the old Fireball dice and all your vids are so AWESOME! I used to sell parts for a Harley-Davidson dealership, and using paper towels on windshields was a big no-no; it could so easily scratch the various coatings they put on them.
