Found a place that 3d prints in steel

I had to polish the dice myself (more involved than just zona). ETA: The site is jlcpcb.com

- 3°C at my desk at the moment
  Jeez. Is that a conscious choice to not heat your home? Also, those are really pretty dice :)
That just looks like cnc milling tho
- To be honest, if you had access to the equipment that would be a lot more practical way to make this. Get a piece of square bar stock of your chosen metal, cut it into cubes, and then engrave and polish. That said, most people don't have that kind of stuff just lying around. Maybe if you've got access to a makerspace or a shop thru work or some really, really good friends.
- I guess that's praise for how far 3d printing has come nowadays!
It looks great! But it will fuck your table up, even through a cloth. Make sure to get a roll bowl before you use it!
That's really awesome. It's amazing what can be done with 3D printing now.
I need large tungston dice like this that shake my table when I roll them. I want the click clack of metal to become a clank. I want my hands to tremble from their weight
- I've had metal d20s that I had to stop using because they left divots on my dinner table 😅
  
  Look into dice trays, put some sacrificial wood between your table and the dice. All the nice sounds, none of the unintentional damage.
Looks pretty but kinda impractical. You're basically firing bullets into your table unless you've got some sort of heavily padded surface 😬

  So, perfect for a Matrix campaign, then?
