Mainly, it’s due to the molds. It is far easier to make silicone molds for sharp edged dice than for chamfered. That chamfered edge also reduces the life of the mold, as the edge breaks down on the mold.
It is hard to manually round the edges, especially on the d12 and d20, without accidentally making a “loaded” die.
I remember when he played it as an out-take on an NPR gameshow.
He warned them that it had “a swear word.”
You mean the pathetic rapist Brock Turner, who now goes by Allen Turner (also a pathetic rapist)?
Both of these look awesome!
Hard to choose, but I’m leaning towards the black/red as my favorite.
My spouse made this for me when we were dating.

I have made many dice that didn’t turn out how I wanted but friends raved about. It sounds like you have some prime gifting targets for this set.
Thanks to the facets, dice can be visually “tinted” by the smallest amounts of color. It is way too easy to muddy colors together. Possibly adding some foil glitter to the translucent resin to better define its area?
Thanks?
I do manual labor when I’m not making dice.

I wish you all the best.
My youngest finally worked up the courage to tell my spouse and I that they are non binary. We are helping them in any way we can, but HRT has not come up yet.
This is my one line I refuse to cross. Numbers must be readable.
He said they were Crystal Shards. I’d have to ask him where he got the STLs.
I tend to paint my numbers using airbrush paints for miniatures (thinner and heavily pigmented so they coat well). I paint them before the final polishing paper so the polishing removes any overspill.
Regarding the UV resin, I would think viscosity might control the concavity. Doing a warm water bath of the bottle might be able to control things a bit. I know it impacts the end result of my “dragon scale” dice.
Interesting. Do you fill the numbers completely (allowing for perfectly flat facets), or just put in a thin coat?

These look amazing.
Having studied microbiology, I would only roll these if full BNC kit.
