12 sided dice (8dot braille) (zip-Datei)

This is a 3D print file for a 12-sided dice labelled with numbers from 1-12 in 8dot Braille. The numbers are printed separately on small plates and then glued to the dice itself with superglue. The plates are labelled in 8 point Braille. A variant with 6 point braille is in the making. Update: Due to the rounded corners, a better rolling behaviour could be realised. This model was designed and tested as part of the 3D4VIP project. Printing instructions and tips: Dice - The dice is printed in two parts and then glued together with superglue. This way a better print quality can be achieved. Infill is necessary for the dice. A value of 4-5% is sufficient, whereby more infill contributes to a more stable dice and better rolling behaviour. It is sufficient to print the bottom with only 1-2 layers in order not to change the rolling behavior of the dice too much. Without a closed bottom layer, it is difficult to glue the two halves together. Plates - Take care that the tiles don’t have an elephant foot. You should print them upright (0.15mm layer height). Depending on the printer and levelling of the buildplate, you may need a brim.
