Rediced – D20 Mold for 3D Printing Waste

Rediced – From “Print-Poop” to D20

3D printing is fun, but it can create a lot of waste. With this method, you can recycle leftover filament from supports, color changes, or calibration and turn it into a D20 dice.

Warning: High temperatures and fumes may occur. Work in a well-ventilated area and wear heat-resistant gloves. No liability for injuries or damages.

What you need

• D20 press mold
• Filament scraps (~6.3 g)
• Heat gun or oven
• Silicone mold
• Heat-resistant gloves

Important: Print the mold in PETG if you’re using PLA scraps or vice versa.

Recommended Print Settings

• Layer height: 0.2
• Wall Loops: 6
• Infill: 25%

Instructions

1. Prepare the mold: Assemble the mold, so that the opening is facing upwards. Optionally, grease the mold for easier release.
2. Soften the material: Heat the sorted scraps in a silicone mold until soft, not fully liquid.
3. Shape & press: Form the softened material to fit into the mold opening, then press it using the lid. Hold for a few seconds and let cool for 1–2 minutes.
4. Remove the dice: Take it out while still lukewarm, trim excess, and paint the numbers if desired.

Voilà – your own “Rediced” D20, made from recycled 3D printing leftovers!
