Numbered dice - d6 and d0-5

thingiverse

These are dice with numbers instead of dots, because you can get dotted dice anywhere, but numbered dice are much more unusual. I include two versions: d1-6 numbered.stl is a standard d6. d0-5 numbered.stl is a d6 that starts counting at 0 instead of 1. If you've ever written a rule where rolling 1 is a negative outcome, maybe you want this die. I have tested multiple prints of both of these designs using the simplified chi-square test described by 'Delta', and found them to be fair (or more accurately, probably-not-unfair) at α = 0.05 and 120 rolls each. Print Settings Supports: Yes Infill: 75-90% Notes: If you print the die flat, the bottom face will become squished and unreadable. The solution is to rotate it 45° so that it is resting on only one edge. You will need a brim. I suggesting printing with support, not because the 45° sides need it, but to prevent the die from wiggling while it is being printed. If you want to give these dice the best chance of being fair, set the number of top and bottom layers so that it is close to your perimeter thickness (nominally 0.96 mm for a 2-wall perimeter with a 0.40 mm nozzle). This should give you similar amounts of plastic at all sides. Post-Printing Fill the recess with paint or nail polish and allow it to dry.
