Love it so far! But is there a chance on enhancing the character limit. Would love to make rectangle +1000 etc dice tokens with it but well with 4 characters i can't make a + or - >_<
For some reason, any time I try to export to an STL, all of the dropdown and button options other than the [X] are grayed out and unclickable. I can't export any of my work.
Found a bug... if a face is using a custom font, "Copy parameters to each face" will no longer affect it.
Love the program to bits though! This is in no way a major glitch; more something to be aware of for any others wanting to use custom fonts. Easy enough to work around if you know what adjustments you want to make before setting custom fonts.
Fantastic work! Thank you so much for providing such an awesome tool!
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.
Hi, I'll investigate that. Is the warping apparent on the 3d model itself or after it's been printed? If it's a printing issue, it might be warping during the printing process - I know I encountered that issue myself while printing D6es.
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.
Howdy! I am very new to this type of technology, but I am wanting to know how you use the file (.dmkr) to go through the process of making custom dice. Can I convert the file into something else? How would I print it on my own using the .dmkr file? Thank you!
You would need to export the dice using the app, and then load them into a slicing software like chitubox. You would then need to save the slice file and load it onto your printer.
hi Igor, thanks for creating this softwear! its work so well :) i was wondering if there as a way to copy and paste the settings for the generate fin support like you can with 'copy parameters to all faces' currently going onto each dice and then having to adjust this fins separatly?
Any chance there's documentation on the font requirements? I'm tying to generate a partial TTF font, but get the error message: "Font is either incomplete or erroneous and it can't be used.". I can preview the font file with windows, and it has my numeral, period, and S glyphs correct, so I know the file isn't totally bad. Alternatively, is there a way to dump diagnostic information when running the program?
Hi Igor! I am wondering if it is possible to somehow export the face of a die with the numbers inside the face itself. So I would get, for instance, for a d4, a triangle with the numbers arranged as I did on the die itself?
Hi, Igor! Some numbers are missing from the fillet D20. Is there a way I can fix this within DiceMaker? Thank you for making this awesome tool available to us, btw!
This is awesome! I am playing some wargames that use custom dice (Starwars X-wing miniature game, etc). This made it so much easier than using regular dice and converting! Thank you for releasing this tool

Hello! Anyone know how to do a bold or semibold font?
Love it so far! But is there a chance on enhancing the character limit. Would love to make rectangle +1000 etc dice tokens with it but well with 4 characters i can't make a + or - >_<
Love the program, by any chance will there be a android/iphone/ipad version?
Building face geometry error. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Why do I keep getting this error? It leaves the face hollow
For some reason, any time I try to export to an STL, all of the dropdown and button options other than the [X] are grayed out and unclickable. I can't export any of my work.
Update - I fixed it by just re-installing the application. :)
hi the app is good but when save the dice it becomes a dmkr file instead of stl
normaly that would not be a problem but i can't find a tool to convert it to stl
do you mind helping
dmkr is the collection of dice for the app. To get STL, you need to export instead of save.
i have some STLS of different shapes i made in blender, is there any way to get them onto this app as adding the numbers is the worst part
If you could export the stls to svgs, it might work. But svg is a 2d format instead of 3d. Not sure how you'd do that.
Hi. Your software is incredible. Thank you very much for your work. Do you plan to integrate new shapes? Or is it possible to upload shapes?
I have hundreds of blanks if you need !
Hi, this is a brilliant App - is there a way I can add/load a D16 blank in, or is it restricted to the built in blanks?
Many thanks
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.

hello, can I use dice made with dice maker commercially?
Hi, you can!
Hi! I was wondering if anyone else has seen this with the D12. It looks like a couple sides aren't the same size? Or is that just me?
I've had a similar problem after print a very large D20 on a resin 3d printer. Haven't noticed it on the D12
I'll measure next time I print one.

I have found there are sometimes small structural issues that hinder slicing. Meshinspector has been a GREAT tool for fixing those.
3D Builder is also great for fixing errors with stl files.
Would you like any help with this project? I have a couple of features I'd like to see and could probably add them.
Like saving face templates to files so they can easily be restored. And maybe adding an option for "count down" versions of the dice.
If it's on git you could fork it?
I'd love to - but haven't seen any git links. :(
If I'm just blind, can you give me a link?
It’s likely a private repo on Github.
That's about what I figured.
Thank you!
Another proof that Unity can be a strong framework for developing 3D applications and experiences. Keep up the good work!
Hello Igor, is it possible to use a pre-made die as a foundation and then add numbers to it?

Hi, Igor! Some numbers are missing from the fillet D20. Is there a way I can fix this within DiceMaker? Thank you for making this awesome tool available to us, btw!
I don't think they are missing. I believe they may be scaled too large for the face. Try scaling the numbers down and see if that works.
