Weighted D6 Dice

thingiverse

Stack the odds in your favor with 3D-printable dice weighted for the number(s) of your choosing. This is a simple, fun print to replace lost dice and gain an edge on friends and family in your favorite board games. Print the weighted dice at 100% infill for maximum effect and the solid dice at 50% infill to make the dice indistinguishable by weight, though a strong backlight will reveal the trick. I painted the dice to keep track of which dice were which and make the dice more fun and easier to use. After printing, I rolled each dice 500 times to estimate the effect that the weighted sections had on the probability of the dice. The results are listed below. For comparison, a standard dice should theoretically roll each number approximately 16.7% of the time.
