Description

Included dice are three-sided dice (d3) that have shapes similar to four-sided dice (d4). For each die after rolling the result is what will be seen at the top of the die.

Those are standard dice used mostly in games that need d3 dice! If you're looking for other standard dice, please check my main project printables:346350-dice-set.

Included dice have a shape similar to four-sided dice (d4), so included dice have 18 mm (not including rounded edges!) height which is standard for d4 dice based on  (WEIGHTS & MEASUREMENTS, DGD CATALOGUE).

There are two models (two approaches to d3):

  • file “d3 numbers on edges.stl” include numbers pointing outside from the face that they're placed on e.g.: 

after rolling the number on the top is the result

  • file “d3 numbers in corners.stl” include numbers that are orthogonal to previously shown manner e.g.: 

after rolling the numbers seen on the top are the same, that number is the result - similar to standard d4 (see link)

 

Standardization:

Included dice design is in the spirit of my previous dice project:

  • font: Arial 12 (4.5 mm) (based on the link, by purchasing Windows Operating System I have a right to even sell objects with this font, “as long as it's not the font itself”) 
  • ‘1’ (number one) is replaced with ‘I’ (capital letter from ‘i’)  
    • comment to standard: ‘1’ can be easily confused with ‘7’ in some fonts
  • if numbers 6 (six) and 9 (nine) occur ‘6’ (number six) is replaced with ‘6.’ (a dot following number six) and  ‘9’ (number nine) is replaced with ‘9.’ (a dot following the number six)
    • comment to standard: ‘6’ can be easily confused with ‘9’
  • numbers are extruded by -0.404 mm ("Original Prusa print profiles always use 0.20 mm as the first layer height." (based on the link) which will make numbers at minimum 2 layers)
  • dice main edges are rounded by 1 mm
