Rune-faced alien dice

thingiverse

This set of polyhedra with runes engraved on their faces can be considered alien dice. It contains one Icosahedron, one Dodecahedron, one Octahedron, two Cubes, and two Tetrahedra, totaling 20 unique runes. All runes are on the Icosahedron; the Octahedron and Dodecahedron also have them distributed over their 20 sides combined. The two rune-faced Cubes and two Tetrahedra (totaling 20 sides) also feature these 20 runes. A recent update revealed that the Tetrahedron dice had incorrect form, so two more Tetrahedra with three runes per tip were added for better visibility. To create these objects, custom software was used to trace, manipulate in 3D, and assemble polygons before exporting STereo Lithography files. These STL files can be loaded into Repetier and printed on a Printrbot Simple. Adjust the object scale according to your usage to ensure clear printing of runes; native STL sizes may need scaling up 2-4 times for optimal results.
