Description
There are several printable polyhedral dice on Thingiverse, but the only full set:
thingiverse.com/thing:30421
Has very rounded corners that I'm not fond of, since they take too long to stop rolling and don't have the nostalgia value of sharp edged dice for me.
Most of the sharp edged dice on Thingiverse don't have the numbers engraved and are really just platonic solids or use non-standard designs.
There already is a sharp D12: thingiverse.com/thing:550
And a really nice sharp-edged D20: thingiverse.com/thing:551
As well as an almost sharp D10: thingiverse.com/thing:3018
You can find my first die, the D4 here: thingiverse.com/thing:33293
You can find my second die, the D6, here: thingiverse.com/thing:33307
I want to fill in the missing dice so that there's a full set of sharp-edged, old-school polyhedral dice on Thingiverse. This is my third contribution, the D8.
I place no restrictions on the use of this file or the original Blender file (attached, use 2.64+).

I just opened both the .stl and the .blend and made sure the normals were all facing out. As best as I can tell, all the face normals are pointing in the correct direction.
Do you know about Thingiview?
The little blue cube in the image of the STLs above, click on it and you get a 3D view.
I previously asked TV staff about the dark blue parts and they said it is inverted normals and given that I can see the inside face of the die it looks that way to me.
Also a couple of smaller spots on your other dies.
