Rune-faced alien dice

thingiverse

This is a set of regular polyhedra that have runes etched in the faces. Could be considered alien dice. The set consists of one Icosahedron, one Dodecahedron, one Octahedron, two Cubes, and two Tetrahedra, There are a total of 20 unique runes. All 20 are on the Icosohedron. The Octahedron plus the Dodecahedron also have the same 20 runes distributed over their collective 20 sides. The two rune faced cubes plus the two tetrahedrons (all four together have 20 sides) also have the same 20 runes. NEW update: I realized the tetrahedron dice have the wrong form - one rune per face makes it awkward to see what you rolled. I have added two more tetrahedra that have the more conventional three runes around each tip... Instructions I used software I wrote to trace, manipulate in 3D and assemble polygons and output STereo Lithography files. I then loaded the STL into Repetier and printed it on a Printrbot Simple. Scale the objects appropriately for your use so the runes print well. The native size of the stl files in mm may be too small for your printer. I had to scale them up 2 to 4 times to get nice prints. The pictures I show of the Icosohedron are what it looks like in its native stl size interpreted in mm. The purple dodecahedron I printed at 3X.
