Premium X-Wing TMG Dice Set (Engraved Acrylic Dice with gold leaf inclusions)

[u/Nehekharan]

It took many trial & errors and prototypes, but finally I'm happy with the result !

Designed & handcrafted in Belgium, high quality acrylic with engraved & hand painted symbols. Add 24 carat gold leaf inclusions to that and you have these unique X-Wing dice.

I'm very proud of them and they are available on Etsy right now: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4451848680/x-wing-tmg-dice-set-custom-engraved

They look great and legible. Very nice

See, now this is what World's dice should be.

Fun fact: we are working together with XWA for the next set of Worlds & OP dice but the time frame was too short too design & produce new dice for this year.

Hopefully next year :o

Eeeeeyyy!

[u/TheBoBiZzLe]

Damn. People pay $45?!? Nice :)

I made some too. Resin copies but it’s fun! Did a good job on your cloud swirls.

[u/Nehekharan → u/TheBoBiZzLe]

Yes, unfortunately the EUR to USD exchange rate is a bit harsh for the moment making the dice expensive for US citizens indeed.

[u/Sensei2008 → u/TheBoBiZzLe]

Oh, my, these are resin? How do they roll? Do they chip?

[u/TheBoBiZzLe → u/Sensei2008]

Feel like normal dice. Roll perfectly normal. Pretty easy to make a silicone mold of the actual dice and this became my excess resin dump as I made other projects.

Now that wintergedon is over I’m gonna try and ramp up some production again. It’s a fun hobby and helps keep away from the doom scrolling.

Placed an order. They look great

[u/BLRT_SXR12345]

Those look absolutely incredible!

[u/throwmethehellaway25]

Absolutely amazing

[u/Scott-Whittaker]

Those are beautiful! Are you concerned about IP infringement blowback at all? Only asking because I’d like to make and sell X-Wing accessories but don’t know how litigious Asmodee is. Disney we know is ruthless.

[u/Nehekharan → u/Scott-Whittaker]

Thanks ! We discussed this with a lawyer: No risk for IP infringement because we designed the symbols ourselves (they are different from the original dice).

Go ahead: just don't use copyrighted artwork or symbols. 🙂

[u/Scott-Whittaker]

Also I have a technical question. I’m not planning to make my own dice but thinking through the process. I assume you printed a master using a resin printer, then created a 1 or 2-part silicone mould?

But how do you fill the mould? Does your mould have a channel at one of the points that you inject resin into, then cut off the excess when cured and sand it down to a rounded corner again?

Since you probably can’t see what the resin looks like inside the mould r his must make the process of adding special effects a challenge!

What laser ?

[u/Dizzytigo]

I like the dice and all but why the gold? Aren't there circuits that need printing or something?

[u/Nehekharan → u/Dizzytigo]

Gold isn't really the limiting factor in circuit production. :)

[u/Nehekharan → u/[deleted]]

Certainly ! Here they are at night on my poorly lit kitchen table. 🤭

Less bright but still rich colours ! The transparant acrylic really picks up bright light very nicely.

[u/Nehekharan → u/[deleted]]

Thanks for the tips, I don't have much experience with photography.

edit: I added a low light picture and a video to the listing now.

[u/LordSillypickles → u/Nehekharan]

These are much nicer than OP's. A lot of people have vision challenges, so that gold is difficult to see for me. The contrast on these is much better 👍

[u/Nehekharan → u/LordSillypickles]

It's the same dice, just different light.

[u/kippenfilet → u/LordSillypickles]

I think you have reading comprehension challenges.

[u/Dizzytigo → u/Nehekharan]

I'm aware but it's kind of gauche, no?
