1d10 Start with a 5 sided polygon. Make two prisms.
1d12
1d20

Make a numbered 6 sided die. Engrave your name or initials for one of the numbers.

  1. Create a 10" cube.

    • Make a 10" line going in the green direction.

    • Make a 10" line going in the red direction.

    • Make a rectangle that starts and ends at the end of each line to make a 10" x 10" square

    • Push/Pull 10" to make a cube (10" x 10" x 10").

  2. Place numbers to be engraved on the sides of the cube using 3-D Text.

    • Set the Height to 8"

    • Check Text filled and Text extrusion.

    • Set Text extrusion to 1"

  3. Select box the numbers and cube.

  4. Right-click to get the Context Menu, use the Intersect Faces → With Model  command.

  5. Delete the 3-D Text numbers.

  6. Use the Push/Pull Tool to push in the letters 1".

  7. Select All and make a Component.

  8. Entity Info should say the d6 is a "Solid Component." 

If it is not a Solid, then use the Solid Inspector. "Short Edges" are fine for 3d printing.

Task 2 - Model and Print 5 Game Pieces Total

Make at least three other game pieces to go with your pawn and d6.

Options:

  1. Make 3 different chess pieces. 

  2. Make 3 different D and D Dice with engraved or embossed numbers. 

  3. Make a combination of different dice and chess pieces. 

Specifications

  1. Dice must be fair and useable which means they must be symmetrical. Chess pieces must be easy to identify.

  2. Each object must be in its own component.

  3. Each object must be a watertight solid.

  4. Scale down final pieces so they are no wider than 1 inch (25 mm) and no taller than 3 inches (76 mm).

  5. All pieces will be printed together on a 6"x6" (150 mm x 150 mm) build plate.

  6. Files must be saved with username first.

  7. Must be checked by Mr. Bright. Once checked, an STL file needs be downloaded and exported.

  8. The STL file should be sliced with the Makerbot Print Slicer for the Sketch printers.
