I’m going to be reviewing the following for you today, this mold is getting popular and you can find it anywhere from $4-20 depending on what app you’re using. I found it on Temu first, now it’s all over Amazon. It’s cheap, but is it any good? My answer: Surprisingly, it’s half decent!

LET’S RESIN Dice Molds for Resin, Integrated DND Dice Resin Mold with 7 Standard Polyhedral Sharp Edge Dice Cavities

First things first, I started using this mold before it was a “Let’s Resin” mold, and I do love Let’s Resins products, but this is not their own making, I believe. I first found this mold on the app “Temu” and ordered one just to try it out. I was pleasantly surprised. That was before I had a pressure pot.

This mold came quickly from Temu and I figured I had nothing to lose because it was about $10 and I had a couple coupons on a decent order for craft stuff, so hey, why not?

I opened it and it was rather flimsy, and the attachment for the lid was different. It’s harder to get and lock into place. Unfortunately, due to the design of the lid, you often get voids, or it curls up and you have to weigh it down. Often by the time it curls up, it’s time to get a new mold. Dice molds last 10-15 “pulls”, for the most part, even though I’ve gotten many more from some molds, but these are about 15-20 before you need a new one. But the price is right.

The mold is nothing fancy, and the D4 it comes with is the pyramid type. I find that one often leaves a bit at the end of the triangle, so you have a bit of a dull or missing spot. That’s probably just my fault. However, the fonts on it are a lot easier to ink than some other brands of generic molds you can buy anywhere and they look a lot nicer as well.

I tried a few runs with this and actually got decent results. I was having problems with voids in my dice, and I still do, even with a pressure pot, depending on the mold. This is when the top doesn’t fit properly and there’s a space in the end result that deforms the die because there’s a piece taken out of it. It can be because of air trapped, or due to resin moving around. I’ve seen different methods for avoiding this, some people say just to put the lid on gently and not squish it down, others say to put the lid on tight, squish it down hard. One technique that works is by overfilling each spot, painting the lid with resin, and either lightly attaching the lid, or squishing it down. I got halfway, I push it down flush.

At first, I used a resin curing mat with a cover for these. Depending on the type of resin, it would cure in about 2-3 hours. That’s a bonus with a rather thin layer of silicone. The numbers were always nice and vivid and easy to ink. After getting a pressure pot, I experimented with different levels of pressure, thinking the thing was going to implode, but it actually gave me really good results around 30PSI. I first tried 20, and then 24PSI, just so if it did implode, I didn’t make a mess!

Unfortunately, it breaks down after too many pulls. It starts to stick more, the silicone starts to tear, the lid starts to roll up. You can buy many more of these pretty cheap though, instead of buying one high quality mold that will last 8x longer, you just buy 8x more of these for the same price and get the same use. Which sounds better? I’d rather support a mold maker and buy their molds, but I was curious. I made a shitload of dice out of these things. I’ve got other molds, which I’ll review, and I encourage you to invest in a good mold and support the hard work of others on sites like Etsy, but there’s nothing wrong with a cheap little mold. Dice making gets expensive.

Conclusion

This mold is cheap, flimsy, and you need to buy a lot of them to make a lot of dice, but it does give you decent results for the price you paid for it. I like the numbers, they’re easy to ink, and it’s really easy to demold. I’m actually impressed with how well it worked out for the price. I found it on Temu for under $10, and on Amazon, it runs around $15-20.

Also, it does work out well when you use a pressure pot, which I hadn’t seen anyone use. At around 30PSI, it actually comes out pretty decently and doesn’t wreck the mold or squish anything, which I was afraid of.

Would buy again. I have nicer molds with much nicer tops from Etsy businesses, but this is decent if you want to make a bunch at a time. It just doesn’t last long.
