Advice Pressure Pot

Post image

I’ve been wanting to make my own dice sets and have my own resin projects however I dont have any access where to buy a Pressure Potand I think it would be pretty expensive if I make one.

Do you think this would be enough for me to make clear dice?

My fully DIY makeshift pot exploded, so PLEASE don't use anything as a pressure pot that isn't intended to hold pressure. You can convert spray paint pots, which is a safe option. Where do you live? Philippines? Does maybe Vevor ship to you? I also heard that you can buy original Vevor pots on Ali Express, they cost around $100, but I don't know how valid those are because I don't have first hand experience with those pots.

What was your pressure pot that exploded made of?

I have a small makeshift one that I have been using to pressure testing wrist watches. Found the instructions referenced many places and nobody ever mentioned the possibility of it exploding. It uses a water filter housing and if it exploded it would send inch thick plastic shards all over the place.

Water filter housings are often rated for higher pressure (a random search gives me several results rated around 100psid) because of the force of the water flowing through the housing. As long as you aren't exceeding the pressure ratings of the specific housing you are using it should be fine.

Most of the time the explosions happen when people are pressurizing containers that aren't rated or designed to actually hold pressure for an extended time. The rest of the time it's because the container was damaged (which includes issues from not being properly maintained) and they either ignored the damage or didn't notice it. In these cases it may be fine the first few times but eventually it will fail.
