A 24 sided Die with 6 Sides? Tesseract inspired Die with 24 possible outcomes.
thingiverse
This is a 6-sided die with tesseract-like features. A real tesseract has 24 faces: 6 outer, 6 inner, and 12 inside as typically configured. I modified the design to leave the outer and inner faces open and used the two sides of each of the 12 inside faces to hold a number, resulting in a cube with 4 inner faces on each of the 6 sides (4*6=24 faces). I incorporated an inner spindle object that will randomly fall towards one of the numbers with each toss. This is a 6-sided die with 24 possible outcomes. Fun fact: You may know that the sum of any two opposite faces on a normal 6-sided die is 7. The sum of all numbers on any two opposite faces on this 24-outcome die is 100. Does the 24-sided tesseract have an opposite for each face? There's another pattern that results in a sum of 100 starting with any number - can you figure it out? Hint: Pick any number and travel around the equator (middle section), summing as you go. ![alt](https://media.giphy.com/media/BpRpBtquc5X3qQUveY/giphy.gif) This thing might even help you understand the 4th dimension - I'm still working on 1, 2, and 3D. For kicks, here's an animated model of a tesseract posted by Hahnsolo420: ![alt](https://media.giphy.com/media/DDkduTkfElfq0/giphy.gif) The STL has sliced and printed with great success on both Cura and Simplify3D. I've successfully scaled and printed this thing down to 50% scale - which is just under 1" cubed. The full-sized object is 50mm cubed (just under 2" cubed) and it's pretty sturdy. Printing: I suggest using rafts and supports, especially since the inner spindle has only a small portion touching the bed on the first layer. Use the "Normal" or "supports everywhere" setting (as opposed to the "From build plate only setting"). Infill: 20% (or solid if you want more weight). Layers: I suggest using 0.1 or 0.2.
