»Loaded Die«

An exploratory study centered on my own idea demonstrates how a "Loaded Die" can be fabricated for experimental purposes. The die measures 17mm and should be crafted from plastic or wood. A copper cylindrical component is included to shift the center of gravity towards the opposite dicing side. A plastic bushing with self-deforming prismatic ribs on both axial sides holds this part securely in place. Six flush-pressed plastic figure plates house the die's figures, applied via hot-stamping film. Prior to assembly, users can choose which figure to dice by inserting the cylindrical component and bushing into corresponding die body holes. The variables to adjust include the cylinder's material and length or bushing length relative to it. Please note that this design is intended solely for testing purposes, not for unlawful use.
