prusaprinters

<p>This creative dice design may add some fun or interest to any of your games requiring one or two dice. &nbsp;I designed this in TinkerCad and I want the acknowledge and thank the staff at the Ipswich Library Makerspace (AUS) who assisted with printing.</p><p><i>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong> Is It &nbsp; : &nbsp; Two Dice in One - OR - One Die in One</strong></i></p><p>The large die is 35mm wide and printed in 6 sides requiring glue. &nbsp;The smaller die is 11mm and printed in 1 piece. Each die has the numbers and dots indented. These indents can be filled with the printed numbers and dots - coloured as you choose. I have included 4 spare dots in the file and have attached 3 files for those who wish to print numbers/dots and Dice separately.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:54.18%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/74501/rich_content/09248810-de6d-4f41-9168-989380f8be2a/20210823_115248.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%224b248789-baf7-4866-813b-d1edcde618d9%22%2C%22w%22%3A4032%2C%22h%22%3A3024%7D"></figure><p>The inside surface of the large die sides are designed to prevent the smaller die resting on a wall or at an odd angle.</p><p>The adjoining edges on the large die walls have a small cup and ball printed to assist with alignment when gluing. Please ensure any support material is removed from this edge to provide a clean fit.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:58.92%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/74501/rich_content/53430eee-7fef-4d25-b304-d521f6fa354e/img_4075.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2292d460a3-8068-4337-8d07-d6e556013e5c%22%2C%22w%22%3A3024%2C%22h%22%3A4032%7D"></figure><p><strong>Note:</strong>&nbsp;<br><strong>1.</strong> Don't forget when assembling the dice that the opposite sides of a die = 7.&nbsp;<br><strong>2.</strong> Don't forget to place the small die inside prior to gluing the large die shut.</p><p><strong>Step 1:</strong> Paint the numbers and dots prior to placing them in the die walls. Alternatively, You could print the numbers and dots in a different colour, or paint fingernail polish in the indents and clean with acetone, or leave as is, it is quite readable.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:30.87%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/74501/rich_content/cbc534cc-0d7f-44fb-9e84-e0562ad6e61a/20210823_124908.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2226cf5c35-04da-4618-b282-6dcee42aca32%22%2C%22w%22%3A3024%2C%22h%22%3A4032%7D"></figure><p>Secure the numbers and dots into the dice sides as required prior to gluing.</p><p><strong>Step 2:</strong> Sides #6 and #1 will be used as the top and bottom of the square box shape. Start with the 4 remaining sides by gluing sides #5 and #4 together &nbsp;(using the cup &amp; ball to ensure correct alignment). &nbsp;You may want to consider how to orientate each side prior to gluing i.e. do you want the side #4 to be read horizontally or vertically or upside down.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:24.68%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/74501/rich_content/1a5f8ff1-3389-439e-ab97-93544cd979de/img_4081.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%225269db65-bb25-4611-ae9a-ba7c9c806a19%22%2C%22w%22%3A1142%2C%22h%22%3A2114%7D"></figure><p>Now glue side #2 followed by side #3 to complete the four sided box shape. The #3 side should now be glued to both sides #2 and #5. Opposite sides should be #5 &amp; #2 &nbsp;and #4 &amp; #3.</p><p><strong>Step 3:</strong> &nbsp;Glue #1 to the bottom of your four sides. &nbsp;NOW, Place the small die inside the large die. &nbsp;Complete the large die by gluing the #6 on the top.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:36.48%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/74501/rich_content/07b2e1ca-41e2-4cf5-a07a-91d438b2c21d/img_4080.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22f551a7ed-b063-4c9f-a7b3-8cdd7872c1f5%22%2C%22w%22%3A1142%2C%22h%22%3A2114%7D"></figure>
