You have a D16 blank, would mind sharing a picture of it? I was considering some things with a D16, but never saw anything I liked yet.

Thanks.

Honestly I never studied the 3d model itself from a software perspective, I always thought it was my lack of experience printing with 3d resin. Like I said I do seem to recall having tried a different orientation, but there were still issues.

As for other dice types, From using a caliper, there are variations, but I seem to recall they were much less obvious that the D6.

If you don't mind me saying, it still may be worthwhile to verify the models and software.

Thanks again for this great software.

You are not hallucinating. I had posted a similar problem 7-8 months ago here regarding 6 sided dice. While I would rate myself a beginner in the realm of  3d resin printing you will have to experiment a bit with exposure times, lift settings and orientation to try an minimize the aberrations of your dice.

I am guessing the sides that are "warped' are probably associated with the vertex that is attached to the support fins? As I stated above you could try orienting the object on the edge instead and add your own supports via whatever slicer software you may be using.

It will be interesting to hear your findings as well.

I have been away from printing dice for a bit and did not document my results, so I will have to start over again and report back when I do.

Good Luck.

Well that did not work.

Tried the first phase of the exposure test, it looks good. 

Now trying the whole exposure test, fingers crossed.

Thank you, I did try everything at default, including 2s exposure with 0.05mm layer height and had the same deformation... it looks like that vertex that is the base of the orientation still gets stretched.

I am going to try orienting on an edge with a 45 degree angel with supports along the bottom and up the 4 edges of the V. I will use the 2s exposure still, make sure I have a raft. I am using CHITUBOX as the slicer at this point. Not sure that really is going to make a huge difference.

By the way, have you noticed and deformities with the die you have printed?

thank you for your reply very much appreciated.

First this application is just great. It makes dice making fun and easy. Thank you!

Next I have a question...

I am relatively new to 3D resin printing and fully admit the problem I have may be something I am doing, but thought I'd ask anyway...

I have noticed that the 3 D6 dice I have printed all has the same deformity. I chose to make the D6 16mm, I then choose to have the fin supports generated and use the default orientation. This orientation places a corner of the dice that is common to the 3, 5 and 6 faces at the bottom. I then chose to use a lighter contact width, 0.15 mm. I then chose to also use a thinner connection width, 0.25mm. I did this hoping to make removing the supports easier and cleanup easier. 

What I end up with is a slight deformity with that corner, like it was slightly stretched, less than a mm. But, the really weird thing to me is that all 3 of D6s I printed have the same deformity at the same location and dimensions.

I am using an ANYCUBIC MONO 4K, with their basic resin and an exposure time of 6s. 

Has anyone else seen this problem?

I am going to go back and try using the default values for the fin supports as well.

thanks.
