Step 2: Designing the Parts for 3D Printing

Playing piece: simple design. Sketch to concentric cercles. Extrude the larfer cercle 0,5cm and the smaller to 1,5 cm. Add fillet to the edges.

Dice: Extrude a square to form the a cube and add fillet to the edges.

Hourglass: a bit more complex. Has 3 parts. Body, bottom and top.

Hourglass body: Extrude a rectangle to 5cm high. Add fillets and then build to bodies (the grey triangles in the pic above) to combine-cut-not keep bodies and give the angular shape to the upper part of the extruded rectangle.

Create the lateral columns to hold the piece together.

Hourglass bottom and top: is a simple piece extruded from a rectangle. First build the bottom and the Combine-cut-keep bodies with the hourglass body to make sure that both pieces fit perfectly. Use the mirror option again to build the top part.

Step 3: Vinyl Parts

The vinyl parts can be design with Inkscape. Parts:

  • Board
  • box top outside layer
  • Dice numbers and icons (pencil and hand)

Stick the cut vinyls with the help of a transfer tape: https://help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/articles/36000943...

Please, see attached .SVG docs for the designs.
