Dice Mold

[Update 24.12.01: Applying pressure in two stages can effectively avoid defects caused by material shrinkage. This approach allows for more precise control of the overflow length at the top surface, reducing the time needed for post-process polishing. Initially, 8.8g of PLA was recommended; now, 8.5～8.6g of PLA is advised. After the molten plastic is placed into the mold, apply pressure for 15 seconds, let it sit for 1 minute, and then apply pressure again for another 15 seconds.] This is a mold for making dice by recycling 3D printing waste (PLA).The mold, printed using PETG (PETG-CF is a preferred alternative), can recycle approximately 8.8g of PLA at a time.Required Tools:Oven3M respiratorSilicone baking trayOne G-clampOne M2 10mm screw (used as an ejector pin)Flathead screwdriverHammerManufacturing Process:Place 8.8 grams of PLA in the oven and heat at 210°C for about 8 minutes.Use the G-clamp to secure the mold tightly.Pour the melted plastic into the mold, insert the plunger, and
