Get into making dice we did! We started off just trying to make basic moulds from store bought dice, and somehow that ended up with investments into a 3d printer, pressure pot and compressor, learning to CAD our own "dice mould moulds", and so many hours spent polishing the damn things by hand.

There are now more dice in our house than we could ever use in a lifetime, but they are very pretty, so success I guess?

Tedious is definitely the word. They're just so pretty though... 😍

As far as testing goes, see my other reply here https://lemmy.world/comment/11503 which I have no idea how to make into an instance-agnostic link so sorry about that

I read your process. That sounds more tedious than I could have possibly imagined.

I’m also going to test my dice now because I sweat some of them are statistically off.

Chances are you're right, even if they're "normal" mass produced ones!
