  • It’s a long process from 0 to production. I designed and 3D printed a set of dice, polished and treated them to be chemically compatible with silicon. I use those to make silicone molds and store them in a safe place where they won’t get scratched or damaged.

    From the silicone molds I can use resin and whatever colors and inclusions I want to make all sorts of dice. Once the resin is poured it goes into a pressure pot for 24 hours to cure. Then I use acrylic paint to fill in the numbers before giving them a final polish to get rid of any excess paint and/or imperfections on the surface.

    Normally I make one or two sets a week on my spare time, this was my first big order and it totaled 240 dice which has tied up a lot more time than I would usually spend. I’m not likely to do something this big again. The money is good but it’s a lot more work than I want from a hobby.








  • I love technology and seeing what I can and can’t get to work. I have a self hosted image generator and LLM (stable diffusion and ollama). It was fun for a little while, generating images of whatever popped in mind and using the llama for code completion, grammar checks, and rewording things. I even started working on something like that AI streamer, Neuro. It’s all garbage though. The whole stack has been relegated to sending welcome messages on a discord server. It’s a neat toy but anything past that is just adding a whole layer of inaccuracy to whatever you’re using it for and way too many people don’t realize that.
