How long time was between casting and polishing? Resin is best to polish after few weeks from casting. Maybe there is also difference in results of second polishing.
Yep, major improvement, Oh I mean the puns! 😂 But seriously that is a very significant improvement. But I still wanna see you use several different types of medium and improve on what they have done. I have no doubt you can. I just heard from a friend that hard leather cubes is something they use. I don't know. I was curious if they put anything in it or just plain. I didn't ask. My bad! Sand - short time, Wood - long time. I am curious about carbon, just as an experiment.
@@Hyperactiveinsanity luckily I had a lot of stuff leftover from my nail art phase that I can use, so the drain on my budget wasn't suuuuper crazy, but... yeah. Yeah.
Well those intro puns didn’t need a vibe check. Awesome as usual. I loved Rybowife’s debut as the skillshare guy replacement. Totally support future appearances.
Now I want to see 1 Comparison: Make 2 sets of clear, matt, and clear colored dice. Sand 1 set of each and tumble the second, then do a blind test with someone. Maybe your wife since she is already there. 2: Make 7 identical dice. After each day of tumbling remove 1 dice. Then we have a day by day comparison of how it looks, and if they can break in the tumbler, how long it takes.
If you need another push. I would love to see the results with other media. Also super curious about how long would you need to leave them in there to "ruin" them. Love the idea that this could be a set it and forget it process.
Just got my first masters for dicemaking. Like some others in the comments, I now will no longer have any time or money devoted to anything else. Thanks for that. Lol, great video as usual!
After I remove mine from the tumbler I lay a piece of cloth or felt down, add some plastx, and do one final polish. Those last little scratches disappear and it's still several times better than using all the zonas.
You should try a dremel with a wool pad and scratchx! I sand my sprues off with 800 grit sandpaper, then I hit it with a pink zona + scratchx on a sanding wheel. Then buff for about ten seconds with the wool pad and scratchx. It's the shiniest dice I've ever made, and I can polish an entire set in 1 hour.
This is one of those days, so thank you for making it less sucky. Needed the puns more than I cared to admit. Rybowife as the new skill share transition was flawless, good luck in her career as a youtube ad voice actress!
Hmmm seems like this would be better for high quantities of dice like making a set for each of your players where hand sanding is best used on single dice like when your fav d20 gets a large crack in it after an uninformed teammate accidentally rolled a metal die while it was still in the tray
My go to way of cleaning dice after polishing is just Water in an Airbrush. This also Saves the number paint. I know it's a bit pricier than a simple toothbrush but if you are making your own dice - chances are you are also painting miniatures and maybe you have an airbrush already.
Your videos have been so so helpful in starting out. Just cast my first two D20 and I have a long way to go and a lot to learn but It’s all I think about now!!
I'd really like to see a series of tests with maybe smaller tumbling media, and different compounds for different time lengths. It would be really helpful to dial in a process that allows for a more production line process, enabling us to make a dozen sets start to finish in a week.
it's so fun to watch you test things and talk about what worked and what didnt. would it be worth it to tumble them for a while and then finish with the highest grit or two of zona paper for a full glass polish?
You TOTALLY could :) However, if you are already gonna sand at one grit, might as well do them all I guess? Idk you'd just have to weight the pros and cons :)
@@Rybonator I could see people who have issues with fine motor control for long periods, such as arthritis, using this to skip a few steps of the polishing process. As an aside, would this work with dice vaults, ya think?
Thanks for sharing this! I just got all the things for sanding, then today I went to sand and my fingers locked up after two d6's (yay arthritis). 😵💫 Plus sensory processing dysfunction makes the sound of sanding like constant nails on a chalkboard x100 and I was pretty much just biting the inside of my cheek to get through the pain lol. Something like this that can reduce the amount of sanding would be a God send for people who have the same issues as me! Again, thank you so much!
How about creating individual compartments for each die by using some sort of separator in container? Or putting each die in a separate box which is full of those wooden cubes and polishing compound? Would that help decreasing scratches? This might be irrelevant but if dice keep scrubbing each other during the process, maybe that is the reason why there are scratches. Just a thought :)
I just watch the first of these two videos, and I still like how you talk about the machine and it accessories, with out actually saying what it was originally designed to polish LOL I have two of these I got via different means, one was part of a kit that including the accessory for removing the media from what is being polished, and I have five gallon buckets, with lids, used with that accessory.
What was it originally used for? According to Google: "Vibratory finishing is a type of mass finishing manufacturing process used to deburr, radius, descale, burnish, clean, and brighten a large number of relatively small workpieces." What are YOU using them for?
I am still curious how much more work it would be to take the 72hr polish to the glass like shine you get with zona papers. I would love to see more mediums, a medium / polishing showdown!
I failed at making my own dice mold 😅 but I have one coming and Im so excited to start dice Ive been making runes in the meantime though and Im having such a great time
I believe you could tune this to perfection with the right media. Round media, cube media, Hardwood, Ceramic, Metall, different media size, different polishing compounds, maybe even only polishing compound? Would really love more experimentation.
I'd actually like to see a comparison of different polishing compounds. I also wonder if you could get better results with different stages of polishing, like with sandpaper grits. Polish the dice first with a "cutting" compound and then use a super fine compound in a second round in the polisher.
I am currently modeling my own dice masters and I just noticed that the font you have on your masters is the EXACT same one I'm using on mine, Deutsch Gothic. You have good taste.
Super late to the party here but would love to see different polish compounds and a media change. Walnut shells are quite popular in the resortation community.
Was really neat to see the updated process on this! Would perhaps touching them with just a little bit of Zona after the tumbler top off that glass like finish that your dice normally have?
FINALLY I had forgotten the name of this channel and TH-cam didn't notify me at all about your videos, even with the bell on. I am so happy I hot the recommendation 😅
You touch on it a little bit, but my process for tumbler polishing is literally "Sand with 1000 grit until the sides are smooth" followed by "Toss in the tumbler". It works pretty well!
I also find that *This particular* media in *This Particular* tumbler... doesn't mix the polish in. I've heard that a more powerful tumbler doesn't have that issue and the media moves more, and smaller media in this tumbler moves more and would move the polish. It's just this particular combination that's not great at mixing, so I'm going to also continue to mix by hand.
So about that video continuation from way back in like November where you were going to leave the 3d printed dice a month to cure before making molds to see if it would take without having to use inhibitx 😇....
Your issue is the wooden media to get to the glass like gloss. The deeper scratches obviously won't come out with the same media that polishes to a high gloss. You've got to treat it just as you would with any other method of sanding and polishing.. Coarse to fine.
Curious, how often you think you would need to replace the hardwood media? The hardwood seems a little pricey but if you can get a lot of life out of it then I can see the value vs the time in hand sanding.
you either have too much medium in there (whatever you're using) or need more lubricant. try adding water to it, or if it doesn't mix well with that polish simple soap and water will help things go much much smoother....unless thats a low density medium and floats lol
I make resin earrings and this will save me so many hours when polishing large batches!! As for the wood media, how often do you need to replace the soaked media? Do you need a dry start with plastX added each time?
Take the funnel out of the middle of the tumbler. It’s not getting the proper down pull to burnish the dice. It’s not sucking down like it is suppose to.
Really wish i had one of these i could borrow for a weekend. I got a Stellated Icocehedron D20, that i want to make better masters for, as the original one i made is really foggy due to surface texture. I just dont have it in me to sand what is essentially a 100 sided die
dice tumbler neat, though I have to admit that for myself I wouldn't be able to accept the slight deformations in the dice. no idea if it makes them loose their balance enough that it matters, but in the D6 (on your extremely nice resolution) aren't cubes anymore and holy cow did that ruffle my feathers whenever I saw them XD. but they are very shiny math rocks that I admit. (i am still waiting when you show us how to make marble dice. those are still the ones I haven't got the hang of.)
My only question for using the vibratory tumbler for dice making would be how much electricity does it use? If you're running it for four days to process only a few sets of dice, how much of an electric bill are you raking up? Especially if you move to mass production, does the reduction of workload offset of running it so much?
If you use a finer softer media you will get a much better polish. Once again, don't use the wet polish in with the dry, just use a finer polishing media. With the finer media I get an absolutely pristine surface on brass cases so it's a safe bet resin will be no problem.
Not related to the video, but after watching ALL of your dice making videos, I finally have my pressure pot and materials ready to go! I have to wait another week because I’m moving in a few days, but then I’ll get right to it :) Thanks for all the great tips!
really need a video on how you made the 3d models of your dice goblin master, the 3d printing vid kinda glossed over it. would love to make my own with custom high numbers, but I have no idea which software is best for that
@@Rybonator Have you looked into Makeship? I don’t know much about the back end as I’ve only bought plushies and never looked into having one made, but from what I can tell they only put a plushie into production once enough have been ordered that it would make up costs. So you could put up a goblin plushie, wait however long is possible, and see how people respond. If you don’t get the few hundred orders that are needed, everyone gets their money back and not much is lost. If you do get enough orders, then the money is collected and the plushies are made and sent off on heir way. Side note: I maybe wouldn’t put up a dice goblin plush in the next week or so since it will have to contend with JoCat’s wizard gobbo plush.
I just ordered the same one from the video, got everything set up, and discovered this machine is LOUD. You won't be able to do this in an apartment and even in a house, it will need to be somewhere isolated. Still seems like a great method, just be warned going in.
Curious about different mediums or polishes. Also, wondering if anyone has used a turning tumbler rather than a vibrating one? Just because they're a bit cheaper lol
Did you leave it for 72 hours straight, or did you give it a rest every few hours? I'm nervous to leave my v. tumbler running at night, so I let it run 12 hours every day and turn it off at night. Did you leave yours on 100% of the time?
I left it on for 48 hours straight, but these machines are generally designed with long term use in mind :) That being said do what you are comfortable with
*gasp* “I’m a voice actress! I’m gonna go call my mom!” Rybowife is so cute!
Seriously, that "s-tumble" pun was borderline abrasive. But with a little more polish, your shining wit will come through more clearly.
I was just trying to grind you all down in preparation for the (polishing) medium content that was headed your way.
That's a pretty transparent comment.
Hope you all enjoyed Rybowife's Voice Acting debut! But- Will she ever replace the OG 'Did Somebody Say Skill Share!?' guy. He was a legend.
Gotta change it up every now and then. Ya know, keep the videos 'polished' and all that :D
@@homebrewdice2625 Take you like you pun goblin :P
The most adorable thing ever
How long time was between casting and polishing? Resin is best to polish after few weeks from casting. Maybe there is also difference in results of second polishing.
Yep, major improvement, Oh I mean the puns! 😂
But seriously that is a very significant improvement. But I still wanna see you use several different types of medium and improve on what they have done. I have no doubt you can.
I just heard from a friend that hard leather cubes is something they use. I don't know. I was curious if they put anything in it or just plain. I didn't ask. My bad!
Sand - short time, Wood - long time. I am curious about carbon, just as an experiment.
Look ma, I’m on TV!
That bit was absolutely perfect xD
Also
Look ma, no hands!
(This video at least)

I have the cutest wife haha
@@Rybonator I love the little intros to the sponsors~ with your style of humor she fits in perfectly~

I love Rybowife 😂 also, now I want to know how long you'd have to leave dice in there for them to ACTUALLY be ruined
Can you imagine an April Fools video where he pretends to have left the machine running for a year straight and then inks dice numbers onto marbles?
Just got my first masters for dicemaking. Like some others in the comments, I now will no longer have any time or money devoted to anything else. Thanks for that.
Lol, great video as usual!
i wanna send all my love to the dice wife
you go girl, you´re gonna be a great voice actress
She is a straight up cutie :)
As a lazy hobbiest this almost makes the idea of raw dice almost acceptable. If i had the patience to paint the numbers lol
The number painting is easy if you just slap the paint on there and wipe it away afterwards :)
Ngl i found this video cause polishing my raw kraken dice is becoming tedious. Lol.
Been stupidly depressed today but your puns really cheered me up thanks my guy
Hey bud, of course! Hopefully you get feeling better soon. Depression sucks. Kick it's ass my friend
After I remove mine from the tumbler I lay a piece of cloth or felt down, add some plastx, and do one final polish. Those last little scratches disappear and it's still several times better than using all the zonas.

"...Dont call us...we'll call you"

Rybowife as the new skill share transition was flawless, good luck in her career as a youtube ad voice actress!
This made me vibrate deep to my core.
And thus the term 'vibin' was born :)
Part 3? Yes, I would love to see mediums explored that don't cost the same as the machine.
Thank you for trying again, some projects need a few attempts!
Absolutely! Sometimes going back is better than trying something new!
Wow this video really resonates with me, I'm taking a real shine towards this method as time goes on!
It's starting to vibe with me too. I'm just a few steps away from having this process really polished ;D
Hmmm seems like this would be better for high quantities of dice like making a set for each of your players where hand sanding is best used on single dice like when your fav d20 gets a large crack in it after an uninformed teammate accidentally rolled a metal die while it was still in the tray
It would be great to see other mediums tested, like the ceramic pellets Kaitlyn Pierce used over on her channel.
Rybowife has the cutest voice! ❤️
I kinda like the slightly rough glass look of the masters. Reminds me of quartz crystal
I loved this idea and got a tumbler after your last video. I found that using heat shrink on the threaded rod works great instead of a funnel
Best improvement from the last video was the puns on the intro.
I don't mass produce dice, so the tumbler is still an over kill for me.
You can Vibe with it now? ;)
Yeah I get that. I don't either, but I make enough for this to be a nice time saver :)
@@Rybonator It can be quite a rumble if you have the need, but honestly I'm not in the market to be shaken off my feet.

Honestly... if it's gets the roughest of the sanding out of it, I'm damn fine with that stage of fine polishing per hand
3:10 I would use an ultrasonic cleaner for that. It's exactly the same as the vibratory tumbler except with water instead of medium
hey! just wanted to say that this was a great video! love your work and keep it up!
Thanks Hutch :) You rock
I would love to see two days with a different media and two days with the same media just a different shining fluid
This is perfect. Your videos actually got me into dice making, but Hand sanding is such a pain I am so getting one of these!
they look great. Maybe try putting fewer pieces in the tumbler - perhaps they are bumping into each other causing the scratches.
Rybowife!!!
I 3d printed myself a bespoke strainer for digging out my dice because I kept missing them XD It worked great.
How about creating individual compartments for each die by using some sort of separator in container? Or putting each die in a separate box which is full of those wooden cubes and polishing compound? Would that help decreasing scratches?
This might be irrelevant but if dice keep scrubbing each other during the process, maybe that is the reason why there are scratches.
Just a thought :)

This actually is kinda game changing for me. Part of the reason that I don’t play with resin very much is because I’m so annoyed by sanding
Honestly, even if you love the perfect sand from the papers, running this first would greatly reduce the hand sanding time.
I am currently modeling my own dice masters and I just noticed that the font you have on your masters is the EXACT same one I'm using on mine, Deutsch Gothic. You have good taste.
Super late to the party here but would love to see different polish compounds and a media change. Walnut shells are quite popular in the resortation community.
For post-polishing cleanup, consider getting an ultrasonic cleaner from Harbor Freight, it makes the cleanup hands-off
I would for sure vote for a part 3, however, I am missing that satisfaction of pouring resin and demolding beautiful dice.
Lol I’m so tired I misread the subtitle for cue as que rip
Very neat! I wonder just how many devices do you have for dice making now lol
Was really neat to see the updated process on this! Would perhaps touching them with just a little bit of Zona after the tumbler top off that glass like finish that your dice normally have?
Just gotta love how the big channels steal ideas to create content then do a half ass job achieving results. Yay!

You don't need a machine to filter out. They make filters similar to a colander - you just pour and shake
dice tumbler neat, though I have to admit that for myself I wouldn't be able to accept the slight deformations in the dice. no idea if it makes them loose their balance enough that it matters, but in the D6 (on your extremely nice resolution) aren't cubes anymore and holy cow did that ruffle my feathers whenever I saw them XD. but they are very shiny math rocks that I admit.
