I’ve started work on the project that got me into dice making in the first place. My friend Dom died earlier this year and his wife asked my to use his ashes in a set of memorial dice. We talked about it for a bit and settled on several things.I am making her a very large die, 100mm, that will encase a few small personal items of his, a 60mm die for his ex who was still very involved in his life, and several sets of standard dice for them to use. All of them will incorporate his ashes in some way. I’m also printing an insert for the 100mm die to make a base that his personal items will rest on.

This is my first test print for the 60mm die and there are some issues I have addressed for the second print which, barring any issues will be the one I polish and use for the mold.

I learned a lot since we decided on this memorial project and one of those things was CURE INHIBITION. For that reason, the mold will be tin cure silicone instead of platinum cure when molding 3D printed dice. I will also need some deep pour resin to make the 100mm one.
