A Sinister Touch: Acrylic Dice Stand with D20

I made this heat-bent acrylic dice stand and 42mm Jesmonite D20 for an Instagram giveaway intended to bring awareness to the harms being caused by generative AI systems.I drew the design for the stand up in Inkscape, cut a cardstock prototype to double check the size and general design, then laser cut it from black acrylic.I made a bending form by laminating five pieces of 6mm thick MDF together with cyanoacrylate glue. I miscalculated the desired bend diameter a little, and ended up winging it to get it to the right shape.Bending the stand was probably about half an hour of patient work with the heat gun.I paired this with one of my Jesmonite D20 chonks, an orange and copper one with the numbers filled with extra-dark black paint (Black 3.0).
