These just arrived in gold plated stainless steel. They look awesome and feel quite heavy and solid as a rock. Detail is amazing. These are for a present but I'm thinking of buying a second set for myself. They feel like a tool, not a toy. Absolutely love them. Only very slight criticism is that the numbers are obviously the same colour as the rest of the die so can take a bit longer to read than on plastic dice. But this could be fixed with a steady hand and a paintbrush.

Hello, I'm thinking on buying the silver dices and I have some questions. Are they really made of silver or is just the color? I know you send them by UPS, can you send it by post and not by courier company? Thanks a lot!

Hi! Always loved these - I even go to the page every now and then just to have a look, even though I can't afford to buy them. Why don't you make them available in aluminide? It would be ideal, both metallic and affordable. If some details are lost, I wouldn't mind.

Would it be possible to get these bigger - 35 mm - or more?

This set was a great addition to my collection. They feel great and they look great. They are a bit costly, but if you enjoy having a unique dice set, it will be worth every penny!

Love the Dice, Hate the price.

These are amazing! I know my boyfriend is going to LOVE these. I really appreciate the email notifications during each step of processing and they arrived super fast! Thanks again :)

Hello. The grains stuck in between the metal are the polishing medium used in the Shapeways barrel tumbler. I think it is ground walnut shells as is used in sandblasting. I get a bit of that in the prototypes I order from time to time, and I pick it out with an X-acto knife. It's usually not much, and I'm sorry your order has an excessive amount of polishing medium stuck in it. As far as the color, is it an even dark bronze? If so, they could have sent you an antique bronze set instead of stainless steel. Please e-mail service@shapeways.com with a description of this problem and a picture of what you received. They are the ones who can help you out with this. Please cc me on the e-mail as well at chuck@madebywombat.com.

I'm really frustrated! I ordered a set of stainless steel but got some rusty color instead. also the spaces between the metal are filled with yellow grain - it's really filthy. I'm absolutely dissapointed!!
2011-12-14 13:36:38 by annehe_de
Thanks for liking them! Unfortunately, yesterday was the deadline for ordering from Shapeways with assured delivery in time for Christmas.
2011-12-07 00:08:36 by ceramicwombat
any chance an order would be done in time for christmas? these are utterly gorgeous!
2011-12-06 20:25:00 by jenmoon
These are absolutely wonderful, got the set last night as a gift for my friends, now I really want some of my own.. fast delivery also, thanks Shapeways.
2011-11-14 22:58:19 by AJPickett
Alrighty then! ordered and excited to get them. I'm not into all the table top games but my boyfriend sure is and I'm positive that he's gonna love these as his christmas gift! ^-^ i'll post pictures when i get them. i ordered the stainless steel ones
2011-11-12 01:18:06 by crimsnluv
It is no longer available in silver. There is a $30 startup fee for each object in silver to reflect the sprueing and casting of each part. Each die can be ordered from the individual product pages in silver, but can't be ordered in silver as a full set from this page.
2011-11-08 03:20:21 by ceramicwombat
Are the dice not available in silver anymore? I cannot find silver in the selection of materials.

@guzzo.2@hotmail.it: I don't have a picture of these in bronze, but another customer ordered them in bronze and posted pictures at http://www.flickr.com/photos/emmaus/5756068221/in/photostream/ @aqlissa32: As noted on my shop page, these are designed to be printed in metal and prints in plastic are too light to function as dice. I'm sorry the order took so long. That is not standard Shapeways behavior. @jaredb05: Did Shapeways straighten out your order? Did you send them a picture of the dice you received with the incorrect finish? Please let me know at chuck@madebywombat.com
2011-11-06 00:57:18 by ceramicwombat
very expensive
2011-10-23 17:49:02 by stspawn
wow guys! I'm feeling a little frustrated. my 85.00 order is outright wrong! i ordered stainless and i got brass and a cute little sorry for being slow card. whats up! i need this in stainless not brass! This not what I ordered and paid for. 1 x Thorn Dice Set with Decad Scale: 100% 6.10 x 10.90 x 3.00 cm Stainless Steel

Was really disappointed with the White Strong Flexible dice I recieved... Should have read the reviews. I also waited forever for them to get here. Nearly a month... not worth the 26 dollars.
2011-10-19 22:17:06 by aqlissa32
Just received my set of stainless steel thorn dice in record time! They look great and even though they are the steel version, they are not very heavy - I imagine the plastic ones will be very lightweight. so if in doubt, go steel.
2011-09-29 19:03:26 by SexyLemur
have you a picture of these in antique bronze? thanks.
2011-09-20 17:55:24 by guzzo.2@hotmail.it
Well, i buy this dice for my husband and, they are awsome! the most lovely dices ever, i really glad with this buy and im from mexico

The dice in http://www.dicecollector.com/MINT22_SHAPEWAYS_CERAMICWOMBAT_THORN_DIE_20_01.jpg and http://www.dicecollector.com/MINT23_SHAPEWAYS_CERAMICWOMBAT_THORN_DIE10_DECADER.jpg are dyed examples of White Strong and Flexible. Please note that dice printed in WSF will be very light. They will be too light to really be useful as dice and will be decorative objects only.
2011-08-16 08:56:15 by ceramicwombat
thanks for the quick response, can you tell me which pictures are of the White Strong and Flexible? nothing looks quite like it.
2011-08-15 23:38:22 by e447ffaa0c
The Dice Collector has pictures of the dice in dyed White Strong and Flexible at http://www.dicecollector.com/THE_DICE_THEME_SHAPEWAYS.html
2011-08-15 23:20:40 by ceramicwombat
does anyone have pictures for the simple white plastic ones? I really don't have the money to afford the more expensive ones and I'm afraid the plastic would make them lose the effect.
2011-08-15 22:46:11 by e447ffaa0c
Got them! Amazing design! I?m looking for a strong dice bag now :D
2011-08-11 09:32:52 by dimofamo
Waiting the stainless ones for august 8th, can't wait to showoff in my next Pathfinder session :P
2011-08-01 09:17:43 by dimofamo
Here are some "Antique Bronze Glossy" pictures, as promised: http://marcelostavern.blogspot.com/2011/07/thorn-dice-set-from-shapeways-in.html Really, really awesome work. Thanks for those.
2011-07-26 04:37:44 by nwolf
The Dice Collector has images of the set in gold, but I'm not sure if they are in glossy or matte. The pics are at http://www.dicecollector.com/THE_DICE_THEME_SHAPEWAYS.html To match a set in steel, you should probably go with the matte.
2011-07-17 23:45:09 by ceramicwombat
Hi, great work! I'm looking forward to order a thorns-set in steel and a d10 decader in gold. Which one will fit better to the set, the gold glossy or matte? Are there any pics of this colors? Greets Skotty
2011-07-17 19:28:46 by Skotty
The Frosted Detail material page is at http://www.shapeways.com/materials/frosted_detail and includes information on its properties. I haven't ordered any of my existing dice in this material yet, but I have a prototype on the way. There isn't a significant difference between bronze and silver in how they feel and roll. Silver has a much smoother finish though. I have a picture of the Thorn Die20 in stainless steel vs. in silver at http://www.shapeways.com/openfile/93257/photos/photo45116.jpg Regardless of which material you choose (I think they are all kinda cool in their own ways), you will not receive it before July 23. It will be 10 business days for any of the plastic materials and at least 14 for any of the metals.
2011-07-14 21:06:29 by ceramicwombat
Also, is there a significant difference between the weight and roll of the bronze vs. the silver? Which one "looks cooler"? Do you have pictures? Aaaaand... are either the silver or bronze significantly cooler than the frosted ultra detailed? I need to take a nap before work so hopefully you can respond soon. :) Also, I know this is pushing it but I was hoping to order these for my hubby's birthday, which is July 25th, but we're celebrating it on July 23rd... So that may have some bearing also? What do you think? :)
2011-07-14 14:38:50 by AtheistExtraordinaire
Hey there. I am literally moments away from ordering, but I want to know what material the Frosted Ultra Detail set is made of? Is it standard acrylic like those little dice sets you buy at nerd shops? Or is it weaker/stronger? I am leaning towards the stainless steel set because come on, they're freaking amazingly awesome... but I wanted to ask about the frosted Ultra. Do you have any photos of them at all? I am having a hard time getting shapeways' page to work correctly... anyway I hope to hear back sooooon!
2011-07-14 14:23:42 by AtheistExtraordinaire
I see... well, just ordered in bronze glossy, will upload a pic when I get it!
2011-07-07 04:05:05 by nwolf
I don't have any pictures of the same die in both antique bronze matte and antique bronze glossy for a side-by-side comparison. The design of the d10 and the decader d10 is identical except for the numbering.
2011-07-06 13:13:57 by ceramicwombat
Great design! I've been dying to buy these for almost a week now, in Antique Bronze Matte/Glossy (any idea where I can find pics with the difference? The sample ones on the material info. don't really show much). Anyway, what's the difference between the D10 and the D100 (apart from the obvious numbering)? Is the design different?
2011-07-06 05:00:01 by nwolf
I have fixed this oversight, it is now available in silver.
2011-07-03 00:37:49 by ceramicwombat
Hm-m. The Thorn Dice set without a decader is avaliable in silver, but this one, with a decader, is not. Is there any way that could be amended? I would dearly love to purchase a set.
2011-07-02 19:41:23 by Hound_Archon
The price in stainless steel is $89.60 USD. Shipping is included in the price.
2011-06-26 20:56:47 by ceramicwombat
hi again,i think tou didn't understood what i mean with "how much does it cost",i was tring to ask wats the price to send it to brazil,in the stainless steel.
2011-06-26 20:36:57 by rafael.capone.elleres@hotmail.com
Those are in stainless steel.
2011-06-26 18:20:11 by ceramicwombat
thank tou by the information.
2011-06-26 16:22:10 by rafael.capone.elleres@hotmail.com
Yes, Shapeways ships to Brazil. The price depends on which material you choose, and Paypal can convert Brazilian Reals to USD.
2011-06-26 15:02:54 by ceramicwombat
hi,im from brazil,so sorry my problably wrong english. i want to order one of these kit but i don't now ifyou send it to were,and if you do,how much is it? thank you.
2011-06-26 00:05:42 by rafael.capone.elleres@hotmail.com
I cannot thank you enough, ceramicwombat, for these dice. They are the talk of my gaming groups and I'm sending more business your way every time I show them around. The stainless steel (the ones I got) are absolutely breathtaking. One note to those those get these, especially in metal: you will want a heavy duty dice bag; these things are sharp in every sense of the word!
2011-04-27 05:39:51 by Mherduwynn
I just received my order. Shapeways did an incredible job getting the package here (GA, USA) in the time frame given. The designs are stunning! I went the cheap route and ordered the plastic ones. The level of detail is amazing. I didn't experience any issues with there being burrs in the cut-outs. They are definitely light weight though, but I expected that going into the order. Unfortunately, the acrylic wasn't an available option (and I noticed that black plastic is no longer listed). I would recommend to anyone considering buying these to pony up for the stainless steel (the acrylic may also be a decent option, but I cannot say how much more heft it will have). If you can't get a set, then try a D20 or D 12. The D20 is more useful, but I prefer the design on the 12. @ cw: Best of luck with getting these out there. I look forward to being the only one in my area to have these awesome dice until you can mass produce these puppies. Maybe I can figure a way out to get a little more weight into them. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
2011-04-26 18:40:38 by erincarlton
I guess when Shapeways added the new acrylic material, they set it to "not available" for all models. I have changed the settings for all of my models so they are available in the Frosted Detail and Frosted Ultra Detail.
2011-04-25 23:41:30 by ceramicwombat
@ceramicwombat Is there a specific reason why these(and the other sets) are not available in acrylic materials? I would be very interested in buying almost all of the sets if they were.
2011-04-25 18:40:41 by Jotaha
Yes, the plastic materials are very light and are not as durable as metal. It depends on the material you choose when you order. The plastics are plastic, the metals are metal.
2011-04-20 08:44:14 by ceramicwombat
guys! The Matrial is PLASTIC. I thought it was kind of metal and I am not sattisfied with the quality of the Plastic. Its far away from "stable" and if you don't take care while using it, it gets out of shape. So for everyone, who wants this for deko it is ok, but for real use it is for me wasted money. Sorry about that, but reality is as it is...
2011-04-20 05:37:14 by Seth0
I purchased these for my husband in the indigo color. Not exactly sure what material it is that was used though. It's super lightweight and almost feels too fragile b/c of the intricate design and how thin some of the areas are. They're dice though so it's not like he's going to be man handling these heh. They are absolutely beautiful though and I'll probably order more for him in the future. Maybe in stainless steel next time :)
2011-04-15 15:04:38 by LisaL
It's ashamed some jerk keeps going through and voting everybody items down.
2011-04-08 01:12:04 by MaxSMoke777
Yes, Shapeways ships to Mexico. As far as I know, they ship everywhere except Russia.
2011-04-05 01:54:41 by ceramicwombat
¿you take order from another country? i'm from Mexico and really want a set of steel dice! thanks..
2011-04-04 14:50:53 by chmusich
A difference in weight between the different sides would come from the different volumes of the numbers. Theoretically, a bias might be detected over thousands of trials. In practice, I haven't noticed a bias in any of them.
2011-04-01 04:06:58 by ceramicwombat
I just asked this in the forums, but then realized this might be a better place for it. Are these properly weighted dice?
2011-03-31 14:00:35 by lethe
The picture is of the set in stainless steel. The inking on the pinwheel set is with black gesso. I paint the whole die with gesso (acrylic model paint works too), wait for it to dry, and then rub the whole die with a cloth until the paint rubs off the high points.
2011-03-31 08:53:33 by ceramicwombat
Hi, just wanted to say I've checked out all your dice designs and they're all really fantastic. I'm thinking about picking up this set for my birthday, but I have a couple questions I was hoping you could answer. In the bottom picture they look nicely "weathered" and have a great color. Is this the matte bronze finish? Or just stainless steel? I also noticed on your pinwheel set the caption says that they're inked. I think I have some idea of what that means, but how does one go about inking these, and with what?
2011-03-31 06:14:28 by adp10390
Hello. I use these for our weekly D&D sessions, and I have not noticed a bias in any of the dice. They roll much like their normal counterparts do. The dice in my Overstuffed set do tend to roll forever, but the dice in my other sets behave themselves.
2011-03-31 01:06:21 by ceramicwombat
I am seriously thinking about ordering some of these dice but my big question is; how do they roll? Are you getting good "randomness" from them? Do they stop almost immediately upon hitting the surface of the table or do they travel for ever?
2011-03-30 17:56:25 by wulfram
I add an underscore to 6 and 9 on d10s and above to let people distinguish between the two numbers.
2011-03-14 01:23:22 by ceramicwombat
I was hoping you would share with us how you tell the difference between the 6 and the 9 images on the dice that go above 10.
2011-03-13 19:10:24 by MadmanMachine
Thanks for the speedy response Ceramicwombat, now I just have to work out how I explain the cost to my wife ;)
2011-02-07 10:09:52 by Wretch
The material in the picture above is stainless steel.
2011-02-06 22:21:47 by ceramicwombat
I mean the Thorn Dice set in case it isn't clear :)
2011-02-06 22:04:57 by Wretch
I adore these dice, but sadly I dont think Ill ever be able to afford them in the metallic finish :( In the picture above, which material is that?
2011-02-06 22:04:21 by Wretch
The first die on the fourth row is stainless steel. Sometimes the finish on stainless steel varies, and it looks like the finish on that one came out a bit dull. You should receive them by Christmas if you order them now in plastic, but if you order a set in metal, they might not arrive in time.
2010-12-04 21:46:25 by ceramicwombat
These are truely awsome. I want to order some for my brother for Christmas. I was looking at the dice collecter's link above and saw a color of one that I want to order but I don't know which color it is. It is the first die on the 4th row under the title Thorn. I think it's either white strong and flexible or transparent detail. Can you help me out? How long does it normally take to ship? Will I be able to get them before Christmas? You should be proud of your work. :)
2010-12-04 15:53:40 by QueenBeetle
Thanks for the snappy reply, wombat. Seems like refreshing the window caused an accidental double post. I will definitely order some soon.
2010-09-16 13:51:52 by Skie
I have not tried this set in glossy gold, but Kevin Cook did and the pictures are at http://www.dicecollector.com/THE_DICE_THEME_SHAPEWAYS.html. The finish does not add an appreciable amount of thickness or obscure detail. I have not tried inking them either. The d20 is the only one in the set that is difficult to read in low light or from far away.
2010-09-16 08:45:02 by ceramicwombat
I'm seriously considering getting a set of these in gold glossy finish. Have you tried this particular set yourself with the gold finish? Does it add thickness so that some of the intricate details in this particular set would get lost? Also, have you tried painting these black and then polishing? The preview image doesn't seem like so. The design is wicked, that's for sure. Just mildly concerned about readability from far away.
