I finally got a flower drying kit and I had some flowers (my wonderful partner brought some home a few weeks back) which is super cool for dice making because I've always wanted to try using real flowers
It's just..
I'm going to need a bigger mold.
Welp I have a week to let those dry completely and figure this out. Hopefully we can get the printer back up and running soon!

Happy Halloween!
Technically from last year, but I don't know if I ever posted this here!
Hey, so, uh, my account apparently got hacked and both this and my sideblog (gobs-o-dice) got nuked.
It doesn't seem like tumblr is likely going to be able to recover them for me.
So I guess this is time to start fresh?
I guess there wasn't anything too critical here, but I've had the account for over 10 years, so there was a lot of inertial stuff that had been built up, which will suck to replace.
So, yeah, they definitely can't help me, so I'm starting anew.
The biggest thing now is that I really don't have any idea of who I was following. It's not like I ever wrote that down anywhere, because why would you, right?
As names come back to me I will try to follow.
But yeah, mutuals (and anyone else, really), please do re-follow me, don't feel obligated to wait for me to re-follow you or anything.
It's not that I deliberately haven't followed you again, it's that my memory is faulty and I can't remember names or spellings or such. If I recognize your name I almost certainly will re-follow asap.
Oh, and of course, any new followers are totally welcome too!
I apologize for the equivalent of inviting you in to the equivalent of a pillaged room where I'm trying to unpack a bunch of boxes, but, nevertheless: Welcome!
It's so glassy!
3 makes a success! This one took a bit longer since it took two tries but it worked!
Master making progress is going well! The second one (the green minecraft font) actually turned out well enough I would be able to use it as a master if I had spent a bit more time carefully cleaning it up! Which is progress! I'm still managing to get dimensional accuracy up to like 3/10 of a millimeter which is always nice!
Also the design I currently have going for test #3 under the cut, as well as a small explanation as to what I'm doing to make these.
The first time something works, it's a fluke.
The second time something works, it's a coincidence.
The third time it works, it actually works.
At least, this is the philosophy I use when making prototypes for things.
I finally reached the fluke stage of the prototyping process and just started the second test. I have a bit of cleaning up to do on it, but I have not been this confident about any of the other iterations and if I get consistent enough results, I can actually move on to other dice shapes! (As much as I just love making a ton of d6s, I just want to be able to move on to the others too)
I promised pictures!
The tiny font is so cute and while these still have some small imperfections on a few faces, it's like 98% of the way there! All issues that I could super easily fix if I just remade the base mold (but I'm too stubborn to do that because I haven't used the first one enough and it technically works)
Well attempt #2 (clear) is almost passable and a lot better than attempt #1 (blue) but I'm almost done with a re-work of the mold and everything so hopefully #3 works out better..
We'll have to see sometime tomorrow.
One thing I'm notorious for is having way too much confidence in my abilities and ideas. Is this necessarily a bad thing? Not entirely.
I'm picking up an older idea I was working on back in February because I want to see if I can make it work now that I have access to the 3d printer and it seems to be going well.
I may be getting a bit ahead of myself because despite having no finished proof-of-concept, I've been working on different designs to use with it. Again, not necessarily a bad thing, but if I have to pivot again, I'd now have to redo 42 parts instead of like.. the 6 I actually need to try it out.
And I know I'm being cryptic but it's one of those projects where I've given up on it before so I'd like to see some promising results before going into too much detail.
I should hopefully have a working prototype tomorrow and then a proof of concept the next day.
(Now would be a great time to have the quick-curing plastic I used last time but I had to use it all because it goes bad quickly)
So I've been working on a project and it was starting to just not work, then the printer had a literal meltdown on an overnight print..
(That teal blob is the plastic that was supposed to make up like 90% of that print)
So I'm switching gears again and a new method prototype is in the works. Once I can get the printer to stop fussing.
(I did clean this up, it just took several hours and I now have a somehow heart-shaped burn on one of my fingertips because I accidentally tried to brace it when I was cleaning molten plastic off of the print head)

So I may be up to something...

Some experiments with the color shift powder I got a while back with the old-font mold d20.
We finally got moved into the apartment! Well, we technically got everything moved in on Sunday, but we've got like 80% of the way unpacked!
I'm pretty sure I found all of my dice-making supplies, but I might do a check later today for that.
