Handmade dice, for the fun of it.

Custom dice prices

We use exotic materials like Carbon Fiber and aeronautic aluminium to achieve finishes and shapes never seen before. Some of our dice would look at home inside a Sports car, or a space station.

We also have laser engraved dice (done on our homemade nano laser engraver!) and we can print them for you to have super cheap prototypes!

Below you have a list of all we do ^_^

    • Metal inlaid dice: You’ll get pure awesomeness in a small package. Unique in the world, they have real brass or copper inlaid in the dice. The metal reflections just shine them out of the ordinary.

        • D6: from 10 to 15€. Custom order from as low as 15€ (contact us for design and vectorizing fees).

      D10: from 15€. Custom order from 30€ (contact us for design and vectorizing fees).

    • Metal machined dice: Using aerospace aluminium alloy, we do some amazing precision works for dice you will not see anywhere else.

        • 3 sided: 10€
          4 sided: 8€
          5 sided: 12€
          6 sided: 8€
          6 sided bipyramid: 19€
          7 sided: 14€
          8 sided: 9€
          10 sided: 10€
          11 sided: 20€
          12sided: 14€
          13 sided: 22€
          14 sided: 16€
          15 sided: 25€
          d20 roller: 23€
          d20 ring, simple version:50€
          d20 ring, faceted: 80€
        36 sided dipyramid: 50€

 

    • Printed dice: Using an innovative technique developed by us, we can print any black and white image on a clear colored die. Fairly resistant and super cheap!.

      • D6: 3,75€
        D10: 8€
      Custom order: direct image to die (what you print is what you see) has no fee, just the listed price. Ask us for vectorized images (like the airplanes or the firefly ship test)
    • One or more of the above: We love to do dice, that means sometimes we will get wild and just create. Our Structural Integrity, Industrial Fantasy dice and Carbon Fiber dice, fall in that category.

    • Pricing depends on die (not two are alike), but they range from 15 to 50€ in most cases.
  • Metal etched dice: Highly experimental technique with a lot of potential. We apply a mask over the aluminium die and then we apply a etching acid over the surface, leaving all uncovered areas with a grey finish wich will stand out a lot and is wear resistant.
        • This technique requires us to order a custom stencil, wich has a fee of 35€, that has enough surface to do about 10 to 15 dice, so, the best way is to part the stencil area cost between a few people who want some dice, and then it’s cost will be barely noticeable. Ask us to know if we are in contact with someone who is also waiting. Maybe ourselves are preparing some dice, and you can part it’s cost with us! ^_^

      To sum up: a die (or a few) must add to their metal part cost, the proportional part of price of the stencil (if splitting cost with someone) or the 35€ per full stencil sheet if you want the order ASAP.

    • Lasered dice: We built a miniature laser engraver to do other types of dice. It’s price is in the middle range between the cheapest printed dice and the expensiver metal inlaid ones.
    • Lasered dice MUST be BLACK, it’s a limitation on the current laser we use (300mW).

      • Normal shop D6: 7€

    Normal shop D10: 7,5€

    Normal shop D20 (SINGLE ETCHED FACE): 5€

    Normal shop D4: 6,5€Face D6 design mix (choose six faces between all our done designs and mix them up: 8€

  • Custom order: ask us, but they can be as low as 8€ for 1 die. No minimum order!

    QR-Coded D6, with all custom faces: 11€ (20 characters per face, including spaces)

  1. Great idea, only one thing (this is only a suggestion) can you add some images of each dice near to the prices?? This will give an idea of the die… so you can keep this post as price sheet under the links at the menu on the right (under shop, facebook and youtube links) for future references…
    Keep the good work!

  5. Do you have a rough idea of pricing when you’re ready with the laser?

    Can you do dice with other numbers of sides with the metal inlays or laser engraved? The standard d4, d8, d10, d12, and d20.

  6. I’ll be able to do laser engrave any die when the machine is ready (D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20) The pricing will depend on the laser I use (right now, the small laser I have, takes an HOUR to do a single face on a D6. Solid state lasers are pricey, and I might wait a little to upgrade.
    As for now, a single D6 laser engraved might be around 10/15€, and I will be able to produce a single die per day ^^U
    Should I sell enough dice (I hope so!) I might upgrade the laser, and make dice faster, wich in turn would make them cheaper.

    As for metal inlaid dice, right now I can do D4′s, D6, and D8 with a more or less decent price. D10, D12 and D20, require tons of work, and they would be very expensive. Also, D20′s faces are very tiny, and metal engraving hast low detail, so they can’t have that much artwork put in them.

    I hope this helps ^^
