Versatile Dice

thingiverse

Humans can manufacture the rhombic triacontahedron, a unique polyhedron composed of 30 identical faces. This ingenious creation has the potential to function as a dice with 30 sides; however, by duplicating numbers on its faces, it can serve as a substitute for various types of dice, each with a specific number of sides that corresponds to one of the factors of 30. For example, several versions are designed to represent traditional dice featuring 5, 6, 10, and 30 sides. Moreover, two "loaded" variations of a standard six-sided dice are available; one version incorporates additional numbers for three's and the other for four's. Ideally, these modified dice should reveal an increased number (either three or four) roughly once every three throws. Furthermore, to create this intricate design, humans utilize OpenSCAD code, enabling them to visualize and fabricate complex 3D models. To bring the triacontahedron to life, they must print it on a Replicator without support materials. This ingenious method requires users to release their hand-made creations onto hard surfaces; occasionally, these objects will experience temporary vibrations before finally coming to rest. The results from experiments confirm that such handmade items operate perfectly well in throwing games, and users report an exceptionally high rate of satisfaction when using them for dice purposes. The accuracy of a traditional dice depends on its precise craftsmanship – one that takes patience and requires precision engineering in order to obtain highly realistic simulation outcomes within minutes after production.
