$25.00 Dice Masters Set - 14 Shapes - Josefin Font - Supports Included

This set of sharp-edged dice is perfect for 3d printing your own dice masters. Sand and polish them, and use them to make silicone molds so you can cast your own finished dice for tabletop roleplaying.
The font used is Josefin Sans, which can be used for commercial use. The files are scaled to an average/normal size for dice and will fit well with most of the big-name sets you already have in your dice collection. This set uses a Balanced numbering layout, which is numerically superior to the Standard number layout.
14 Shapes, 42 Total Files, Supports Included:
There are a variety of shapes included with this set, so you can mix-and-match to build the perfect set:
► D4: Standard Pyramid, Crystal, Gem/Shard
► D6: Standard Cube, Rhombus
► D8: Standard and Pointier
► D10: Standard and Pointier
► DPER: Standard and Pointier
► D12: Standard and Rhombus
► D20: Standard
This set includes STLs for the raw, sharp-edged dice, versions of the same dice STLs with bumpers added, as well as pre-supported, ready-to-print STLs, for a total of 42 STL files.
The bumpers are meant to help with printing, preventing the supports on the edges from chipping the dice and ensuring greater dimensional stability with less distortion. After printing and removing the supports, these sand off easily using 1200 grit wet sandpaper.
The supports setup on the presupported files is carefully calibrated to print dice masters as perfectly as possible - make sure you calibrate your exposure settings before printing, for best results. An 8 page PDF is also included which includes printing and calibration instructions as well as tips on removing supports and sanding and polishing your prints.
Usage of the Files:
These files are supplied to print your own dice masters, so you may upload them to a printing service such as Shapeways as a privately viewable object to have them printed for you, or send them to someone you know who owns a resin printer who will print them for you, or similar transfer of files to get them printed up for you. You are not allowed to redistribute the STL files otherwise.
You can print as many copies of your masters as you need from these STL files, and you may modify the files as needed, but you may not redistribute any of those modified files except to have them printed for you as detailed above.
For commercial use:
► You can sell silicone molds made from these, for the purposes of others casting dice in them.
► You can sell resin dice cast from molds based on the prints of these files (if you may do so in your country - certain types of dice may be patented for sale as gaming devices in certain countries - my files are 3D models of dice rather than gaming devices themselves).
► You may NOT sell the 3D prints of these files - I sell the physical 3D printed masters myself exclusively.
► Crediting me is not necessary, but always appreciated.
► Any other usage, please contact me first.
Requires a resin 3D printer - not suitable for FDM printing.
Many resins are suitable for dice printing, but some may tend to distort (causing certain dice like the D6 to be visibly skewed), or provide only "mushy" detail on lower faces, with numbers on overhangs filling in where they shouldn't. Some resins may need extreme post-curing, time to off-gas, or coating with products such as Inhibit-X. Siraya Tech Blu and Ameralabs AMD-3 LED tend to capture detail very well and are particularly recommended.
Perfect exposure calibration is key to success with dice printing. Err on the side of slight under-exposure to ensure easy-to-remove supports and crisp numbers. A PDF guide is included to assist in calibrating exposure for dice printing.
You may need to adjust your exposure and lift settings and/or try a different resin to get a good print. If you have trouble getting a good print, please contact me - I'm happy to assist in troubleshooting.
