How To Make Your Own BRONZE D20 Dice At Home (Icosahedron Metal Casting Tutorial)

In this video I'll be casting a bunch of D20 dice at home in bronze. The D20 is an Icosahedron which you can easily design and 3d print using Blender and your favorite 3d printer. I started by 3d printing the dice using polycast filament and made a tree mold of them using investment plaster. I then burned out the wax filament and melted down some scrap bronze. I poured the molten bronze into the mold using the Katway Investment casting machine. The casting machine helps by drawing a strong vacuum and pulling the molten metal into the mold cavity. I then removed all the dice from the sprue using my bandsaw. The dice were then sanded an polished to a mirror finish. I finished by laser engraving all the numbers onto the dice making sure that opposite sides always equal 21.

Hey everyone, I hope you all enjoy todays video! It was definitely fun to make them. If you have ideas on what else I should engrave on the others, let me know. Have a great rest of the week and I’ll see you all in the next one 👍🏻

Fill the engraved numbers with paint, red, black, white or any you wish, use a set of symbols, shapes or you could use stickers for a temporary symbol set that can be easily switched to something different!

I think two more branches and it would have made a nice D20 tree.

The dice look fantastic... too bad I can't buy one of the non-engraved ones :) Your casting methodology and experience has certainly improved, and it shows ... the dice are truly awesome👋

One of those should be engraved with different ideas of dinner meals - then whenever you’re not sure what to make you can roll quick to find the answer!

@ArtByAdrock 3 ай бұрын

I like that idea 👍🏻

I tried to quench too soon and blew up a piece too. That di will be a table denter. Looks nice though.

They're pretty but are they balanced to give you a random roll every time?

Lou Zocchi is disappointed by your rounded edges. (Personally, I think they look great.)

@Nobe_Oddy 3 ай бұрын

Dang they came out BEAUTIFUL!!! That shade of bronze you made is AMAZING!!! you sure it isn't Nordic Gold lol The only ideas I can think of is a pattern around the edges... maybe just a triangle close to the edges on each face... idk why this seems like ti would look really cool to me, but each face would still be mostly open space.... maybe you could make a different pattern that fills each triangle, leaving the edges smooth. And not only would it be about how much detail you can get each pattern to hold but it would also be all about how it feels in your hand... sort of like a fidget object... kinda like how people have the need to spin those fidget spinners.... you could make ripples that are spaced widely, and another spaced close together and they would feel and look completely different.... Plus it would be good practice on the software for the laser engraver (if you're able to do something like this with the software you use for it..... or maybe if you can't then you'll end up looking into other free software that you can do something like this, and you'll end up discovering and liking some new program for it 🤦‍♂ 😀
