Dice in Dice
grabcad
A further development of my previous project.I call it "Cube Caught In The Cube".In place using two dices I had an idea, to use one main dice only, to get a random result, according to two seperate dices.A dice roll with one dice only to get two random results.My concept, respective design is the following:The main dice with a width of 20 mm, a ball diameter of 25 mm and a circular area with a diameter of 15 mm, contents a seperate inserted smaller "loaded" dice.The load is a ball bearing ball with a diameter of 4 mm and is moveable inside the second dice.The "loaded" dice can move around in its "chamber".The nominal radial clearance is 0.1 mm.Due to the shift of the center of gravity the "loaded" dice can show a second result of dice eyes, when the main dice stops rolling.Unfortunately I don't call a 3D printer mine. Therefore I could not made a prototype, to check if it works in the expected way.If anyone has an interest to build up the model, please let me know about the result.The complete model is available as a STEP file and most of the components as STL files.
