Introduction: How to Make a Die (Dice)

Die (dice) can be used for many different things. Solving arguments, playing games, having fun, etc. So, I decided to create a model of a 6-sided die.

Supplies

You need...

  • 3D printer
  • 3D filament

Step 1: Start Your Design

You need to insert the dice shape onto the work plane. You can also add a cube and round out the edges, but it is easier to add the shape already made for you. I made my die shaped cube 25x25x25.

Step 2: Insert Numbers

Die have 6 numbers on them, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. First add text to the work plane. Then write "1" in the area designated for you to write the text. Then you flip it around using the angles so it is facing the same way as the side of the die it will go on. I sized all of my numbers to have 12 (height), 8 (length), 5 (width). Make the number a hole. Then place it into the side of the die you want it to go on. (It doesn't matter which sides the numbers go on).

Step 3: Repeat Step 2 for the Other Numbers

Repeat step 2 for the rest of the numbers. Once you do this for all 6 numbers, your die is complete! It is ready to be printed!

Step 4: Print Your Die!!

You can 3D print your die now! Have fun!!
