I saw lucb's thing and I had a die I made in OpenSCAD, so I just combined the two files.

As my family plays this game all the time, I'm excited to be able to print it. Inspired by the (soon to arrive) Replicator dialstruder, I modified the Dice Game to generate either one-color or two-color versions of the game.

For the two color version, the 'body' and two of the dice (the "ones" and "tens" dice) are black, with white numbers, and the remaining dice are white with black numbers.

To play the game, see the parent object. But to summarize:
- Randomize the dice.
- Add up the "tens" and "once" dice to a target number (e.g. 42).
- Use the remaining dice, with any mathematical operators you like, to produce the target number.

My family plays this on long trips with a set of dice in a bag. Putting it all into a single unit, so that the dice can't get lost, is a great idea. I can't wait to print this!

Note: I have not yet tested this design, as the Replicator hasn't shipped yet. So I will be testing and updating this. Or, if someone with a dualstruder can test this, and let me know if it works, I would be thrilled! One thing to check - the numbers stick out very slightly from the face of the dice (0.1 mm) so that they subtract from the body of the dice cleanly. But I'm not sure how this will affect slicing and printing. I think it'll be fine if printed on a raft.

All credit goes to jasay for designing the Dice Game in OpenSCAD. And, of course, to ThinkFun for designing Math Dice.

This is a pretty useful shotglass featuring high volume, a solid stand and mostly important numbers from 1 to 8 which are pretty necessary for counting drinks, useful in drinking games and whatever.

This ornament makes use of one of the fonts introduced with the openSCAD release of December 29, 2011 -

see More Fontz by polymaker at thingiverse - thing:13677

The ornament is labeled on the outside with HAPPY HAPPY and on the inside with JOY JOY - the openings are designed to make JOY JOY visible - HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY are the lyrics to a Ren and Stimpy song of the same name. The ornament is purely decorative and meant to illustrate the use of the newly available fonts. However it could be used to hold paper clips if printed in a larger size.

It's constructed from a polyhedron with 16 faces. While not a regular polyhedron it is an attractive one. It consists of two regular heptagons joined by 14 trapezoids and is simple enough so that the rotations and translations required to joint the text to the figure can easily be calculated. I've included some explanatory comments with the openSCAD code.

So my friend is a teacher, but I think she spends too much time grading papers and such. I designed these so she could have more free time to hang out with me.

How they work (careful, this is complicated stuff)
Die 1 - Grade: A, B, C, D, F, or No Credit
Die 2 - Plus/minus: Plus, minus, or nothing

My maternal Grandfather game me a game like this when I was a kid, but the molded plastic has broken numerous times. I have no idea what this game is called.

I made use of tbuser's 8bit font (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2054) for the numbers on the dice. I made no attempt to balance the dice as I do not throw them.

Set with the Akzidenz Grotesk font, which Adobe claims a copyright upon - and probably some design patents - so I'll likely make another version with a free font later. I just picked something that looks nice for now.

If you're interested as to how I made it, I pretty much used some basic shapes and Blender's boolean modifier: wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.5/Manual/Modifiers/Mesh/Booleans

Updated the source files so that the six isn't backwards.

Made by striping thingiverse.com/thing:11224 down to only what was needed.

This a regular icosahedron built in one line in OpenSCAD using no libraries, and only the value of phi as an input. I made it into a D20 by generating and placing the numbers on the surface, all in one additional line (with TBuser's bitmap font module as an input: thingiverse.com/thing:2054 ). I also included a version with all twenties to satisfy Makerblock's challenge ( makerbot.com/blog/2011/09/29/openscad-challenge-regular-icosahedron/#comment-15998 ) and take home the imaginary prize for the most efficient/elegant solution (I only took on the challenge because I wanted to see how short a script I could write to do it).

I wanted to generate the numbers numerals myself, and I considered roman numerals, seven-segment numerals, and various binary encodings, but I ended up using the library because I realized that there just isn't (currently?) an elegant way to generate numbers in OpenSCAD (and I'll give my 9000 internet points to anyone who can convince me otherwise).

Because the real point of this Thing in my mind is the conciseness of the code, here it is:


include <bitmap.scad>;

phi = (1+ sqrt(5))/2;

scale(20) translate([0, 0, cos(atan((phi - 1) / phi)) * phi]) rotate([0, atan((phi - 1) / phi * 2), 0]) difference() {
intersection_for(a = [0:4]) rotate([0, 31.75, 72 * a]) intersection_for(r = [[0,0,0],[90,90,0],[90,0,90]]) rotate(r) linear_extrude(height = 10, center = true) polygon(points=[[phi,1],[phi,-1],[0,-phi],[-phi,-1],[-phi,1],[0,phi]], paths=[[0,1,2,3,4,5]]);
for(n = [1:20]) rotate([180 * (ceil(n / 10) % 2), atan((phi - 1) / phi * 2) + atan((phi - 1) / phi) * 2 * (ceil((n - 5) / 10) % 2), 180 + 72 * n]) translate([0, 0, 1.5 - .1]) scale(0.008) for(d = [0, floor(log(n))]) translate([0, 35 * floor(log(n)) + d * -70, 0]) 8bit_char(str(floor(n % pow(10, d + 1) / pow(10, d))), 10, 100, false);
}

With as many dice as there are on this site I'm surprised that this is the first attempt a making weighted dice. However, since I don't have a 3D printer (yet) I can't be sure it'll work so as a gag that I'm sure will work this is also the plans for a dice made with dual extruders. Haha!

Marked WIP until someone successfully prints one.

This is an oversized dice that could be used for decoration or normal games. it has a lightweight and smooth design.

I know there have been several D6 over time on here, but I have been meaning to do this for some time. Having played Gamma World last night for the first time in about 30 years, I felt the push to go on with this. (Timey whimey!)

I based this design on the set of ivory dice my Dad had when I was a kid. (I am pretty sure I am responsible for their loss.) The ivory die had different size holes cut into them to account for the balance of the die. The 1 had a large hole, the 6 had small holes. (The sizes on mine are pure guess work. Sorry, no math to ensure they are actually correct in their volume.) I also made sure this followed the standard practice on die where the opposite sides of a die add up to the largest side +1 in number. So, and two opposite sides on a D6 should add up to 7.

This die is oversized at 25mm, just about an inch.

This part was made with Tinkercad. Edit the part online at: tinkercad.com/p/acc068097ca0a001/32

This is a follow-up to my original design using ideas from commenters.

Improvements+++
1. I changed the number layout so that Instead of 1,2,3,4,5,6 it goes 1,2,3,6,5,4.
2. Lengthened the tips to prevents no number rolls.
3. redesigned numbers for a more even look.

V2.3
Shortened holes, made them circular, and evened them out.

This is a six sided die, but instead of the numbers being printed on the six sides of a cube they are printed on the six sides of a hexagon.
