Dice Mold Mold

These are for making silicone dice molds.

Several design decisions of note:

• The "teardrop" shape helps ensure you orient the mold correctly
• The raised pedestal is not quite the same size as the die; this should help in that only one side should need sanding on the final die
• Filleted edges to aid in removal of the mold

Various settings are documented on the SCAD file; die size, text height, and various others are easily adjustable.

Please see Github for the most up to date SCAD file (I'll try to remember to update it here!).

Printing

• Resolution isn't very important; the inside of the mold isn't affected
• I put brims on the shells; the contact area isn't that great

Updates

v0.2.0

• 2021-01-30
• Shrink radius to 18mm; still fits dice, but two sets can be made with the silicone we get!
• Increase shell thickness to 1.6; kinda handy when they don't tear apart.
