Positive Polyhedral Dice Mold

This mold serves as a foundation for crafting silicone molds, which in turn enable the creation of Handcrafted DnD Dice. The design draws inspiration from a video on dice making produced by Die Würfelschmiede. He has shared his blueprint on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3828391 To create the mold, print the model with its flat side facing down, as support structures are not required. The top layers of the model will come into contact with the silicone, ensuring a smooth surface. The process begins by attaching a die to the peg using hot glue and inserting it into the mold. Due to slight discrepancies in the molds' dimensions, apply painters tape along the sides of the mold to prevent silicone leakage. Next, pour the silicone into the mold, allowing it to cure before removing the peg and cutting out the original die. Flip the mold upside down and fill it with epoxy resin, taking care to massage the mold gently as you fill it. This helps to release any trapped air bubbles. Update: A new version of the design is now available, featuring a larger size and improved fit when printed using Cura's Engineering Intent setting. To prevent silicone leakage, consider printing the sleeve in Surface Mode or Spiralize Outer Contour, allowing it to slide over the entire mold.
