Easy To Read Dice

thingiverse

My name is Charlie Burgan and I'm 12 years old, excitedly thinking about a lesson where a teacher uses 3D printed dice would be absolutely awesome from a student's point of view. I decided to create an easy-to-read die for the MakerEd Project that features six sides with full numbers instead of dots. Print Settings Printer: Micro 3D Rafts: Yes Supports: No Notes: If you don't use raft, the side touching the print bed will be weighted so it lands on a certain number almost always. You have to use raft to prevent that from happening. How I Designed It The software I used was Tinkercad. First, I started with a basic cube and set numbers 1-6 on the plate. Then I raised them to a height of 16mm because that was the height of the cube. Next, I placed each number in the middle of each side of the die. After that, I made them all into holes by clicking "group" to make it solid. However, I had to scale it up to 20mm to make it easy to read. That's also why I used numbers instead of holes; it would be easier to read.
