Please help me win a 3D printer at the 3D printer event so I can make more awesome designs and test them out myself! Go to 3ddesigncompetition.com/entries/view/2d6-spinner and vote for me!
Reading Fighting Fantasy books on the bus is a pain because you need to roll 2 6-sided dice. Sure it's got a substitute in it's pages, but it doesn't really feel random to flip pages like that. I wanted a better solution. This is it.

Pretty clever! Reminds me of those spinners on the old Flipsiders games, the little folding magnetic board games in the shape of audio cassettes.
Oh, you may have just given me another project...
