Teetotum

thingiverse

This is a 'Teetotum'. It's like dice, but instead of rolling it, you spin it. This Teetotum can have anywhere between 5 and 12 sides. The number is set when you run it in OpenSCAD (it's somewhat parametric). Example .stl files include: 12 sided, Arabic numbers12 sided, Chinese numbers6 sided, Braille numbers The font is from Happy Numbers: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8691 This was inspired by the Teetotum page at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teetotum The drawing of the TeeTotum comes from "Every boy's book: a complete encyclopædia of sports and amusements", 1881, E. Routledge (editor), uploaded to Wikipedia by user Dicklyon Thanks to Linkreincarnate for suggestions and support and to syvwlch for explaining what 'parametric' means. See Also user phooky has made some Dreidels! (sorta like a 4-sided teetotum) http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4922http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1421 Instructions Caveat: I have no way to test it. In theory, though: Step 1: Print the .stl file Step 2: Glue the bottom part into the top part Step 3: If bottom part won't fit, shave it down somehow (sandpaper?)
