Hi, maybe it has been pointed out already:
From my experience I solved the inhibition problen (Anycubic grey resin, just in case):

- Curing under UV Light for approx 30 min
- Soaked in Isopropyl alcohol for 1 hour approx
- Sanded off every face and soaked again on alcohol for another hour

After that I could use those 3D printed dice masters right away to make the silicone molds.
Hope it helps anyone without spending a lot on Inhibit-X or other products, specially for people who is not making a ton of dice.

Thanks for the shout out @Rybonator Glad my method helped out. Always glad when we can get the word out on how to make printing dice a bit less frustrating. I'm probably to blame for the whole "leave them out for a couple weeks" thing from my surprise on testing inhibit x alternatives. I'll be curious to find out if it works in your experiment.

I've been trying this method and my dice turn out almost good this way. My only problem is that the half of the dice that have the supports gets print elongated and I have no idea why? the part of the dice that faces the vat and is not attached to the supports comes out perfect.

[chiaracarolinaalbergante]

In these days I was going crazy on how to put supports, and here comes Rybo to save me!

I can't believe it's been 3 1/2 years. I can't imagine how long I've been watching this channel, then. Finally came back to this after years of barely starting to cast resin dice. Had my Mars 2 Pro printing minis for about half a year, and that desire to make my own math click clacks is biting again. With all the knowledge from minis, I definitely wanted to look up how folks handle printing dice masters (particularly on older 50micron printers). The warping do be a real concern. Finally, it be time for me to make the custom dice set for my D&D group's long running dungeon master. Custom faces & all.
Thank you for years of awesome videos, Rybonator.

Finding your channel got me super hyped to make my own dice. So using my 3D experience I'm making my own custom shaped dice, but ran into this exact issue when printing. So thank you for this! Keep up the great work!

One of the highlights of my weekend is always the weekly Rybo video

[indranig]

I literally got my 3D printer today. You are a MAGICIAN.

[ounces]

you’re awesome for putting up those files for free! they’re the first thing I’m gonna try printing when I get my 3d printer

[WitchOpheliaa]

I absolutely love rhombic shaped dice!! Definitely going to get some shapes like this for my next set of masters!
Can't wait to see the result of the experiment you are going to make with the cure inhibition!

[lwolfstar]

What a supportive video to lift up other makers *chef kiss*
I wish you'd made this a few months ago but it'll definitely help a whole bunch of folks <3

[miniaturastaticas]

Hey Rybonator, i've been binging your videos on your channel here and i was wondering if the experiment you did on the dice worked. did waiting several weeks help with the silicone curing problem?? thanks for all your incredible videos

That ImagiNation Labs video was a life saver when I found it awhile ago, I was wasting so much resin trying to get a good master of my dice. I just wish there was a way to automate supports like this

I'm also glad you're doing the inhibition test, I've been wanting to try that myself but just haven't had the time

[BaramuLord]

I usually use your vids as podcasts, I really like your content and appreciate the time and effort to make the pre-supported file for everyone.

[shadowlaughers]

I will say, u got me into dice making and I already had a Mars Pro. I've been printing and polishing the resin die with the Zona paper, and paint in the letters. And as long as u let the dice FULLY cure, I havent had any scratching on the dice at all.

Translucent resin seems to cure much harder than grey or opaque resin does. So if anyone doesn't want to mold them and just have them for personal use, just polishing the printer dice works great as long as they are cured

[nourson]

Thanks for the video and dice files! For those who want to print it, be aware it's a 14mm d6 based set.

[EiggyRules]

I printed the dice from your description and they all came out wonderfully!
Then using the method I was able to print up my own customs and they came out just as well, excellent work and tutorial!

[madisonwuertz]

As someone who’s about to get a 3D printer this is gonna help me tons thank you!
Looking forward to seeing how the test works as I would love to make resin masters for dice myself!

7:42 you can also ADD material. Get a syringe, wrap in something UV blocking (like aluminum foil), suck the resin you're printing with into the syringe and the carefully put the resin where you want it and cure under the sun or UV light and sand it to shape it. That's how you can fill holes, fix corners and just glue stuff together like regular epoxy.

Old but gold, thank you for the STL's!
