See my New Spring Loaded Dice:
Spring-loaded 30-sided die.
Spring-loaded Icodie.
Spring-loaded die.
• I made this exclusively, from scratch, for a very smart guy who, for posterity, quietly collects all my die designs; I wish he'll make a good fortune out of them, long before I dice :-)
• Has "OPRESCO FECIT FOR COOK - A.D. 2010" inscription on one of the inside faces. I hope he's rich enough so he could afford ordering 2 sets and UPS me one, with his autograph on it :-) And Kevin, if you do, please mention on your order (in bold lettering) that the captive RHOMBIDIE® should be free to move around at will, inside! :-)
• Note: In the 1980's, I've been exploring the duality of Polyhedra while making a series of polyhedral sculptures; I've developed, then, an unique method/theory/theorem on building Platonic and Archimedean Polyhedra out of scrap metal offset plates (to this day, my favorite material for building all kind of models by hand) and machine screws by strictly using only conventional (at the time) drafting tools: (T-square, Triangles, Compass, Protractor, Trigonometer) and an E-Xacto knife. All geometric art seen in my shop is the spin-off of that hands-on research and work; for more info see http://cascador.com/RegularPolyhedra/PolyhedraH
• Keep an eye for the soon to be released 30 faceted RHOMBICTRIACONTAHEDIE® with Roman numerals on it :-)

Based upon the geometry of the Rhombic Triacontahedron.
Can be used as a pendant; lanyard not included.
During the late 70's and early 80' I became highly fascinated by Polyhedra and its Duality.
Intrigued by the little known fact that Plato and Archimedes described their wonderful objects by drawing them with just a stick on the sand, I set up to replicate (well, more or less :-) their extraordinary feat by strictly using only a "T" square, a pair of Compasses, a set of 2 Triangles, and a Ruler.
For the next 5 years I practically lived inside Polyhedra (see picture :-) and, what I used to call "The Archimedes' Curse", ended up to be, in fact, "The Archimedes' Blessing"!
The Polyhedral Sculptures depicted below were hand made (from scrap offset plates) and assembled with machine screws from stackable modular pieces. The modules were drawn/designed on a drawing table while strictly using only a "T" square, a pair of Compasses, a set of 2 Triangles, and a Ruler.
POLYHEDRAL SCULPTURES / Scored and folded aluminium offset plates, machine screws & nuts (©1981)
MODULAR POLYHEDRAL LAMP DESIGN (©1981) / Scored and folded aluminium offset plates, machine screws & nuts (©1981)
Based upon wonderful knowledge I accumulated hands-on during the 1980's while exploring "the extraordinary spatial diversity that emanates from the sublime order and elegant simplicity that is exemplified by the subject of polyhedra." (Quote from the Preface to the wonderful book POLYHEDRA PRIMER by Peter Pearce and Susan Pearce)
I was extremely pleased when, a few years back, Prof. George Hart (Department of Computer Science, Department of Computer Science, STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY) included some of my Polyhedral Sculptures, alongside work by Buckminster Fuller and other great designers in his comprehensive COURSE STUDY: COMPUTER SCIENCE AND SCULPTURE (pg. 39-40, OPRESCO).

• Model for a very important 2003 project of mine (right after my hip replacement operation on St. Valentine's Day, I could certainly use some extra good circulation in my lower legs :) • This scaled down (to 30%) model is just for preliminary testing on the clearance of the spindle; just to make sure it will not fuse when I order this model in its actual size (24.8cm x 10.7cm x 10.7cm); I intend to order it in Gold Plated Stainless Steel ($10 per mm3, till May 30 only!); if you think I'm crazy you're ignoring the fact that my model is completely hollow! With a 3mm wall thickness (the strongly recommended minimum wall thickness for Stainless Steel) my actual sized model – even though it looks extremely massive to your naked eye — has a mere volume of only 129458.02 mm³ (cubic millimeters); and that translate roughly to only 129.458 cm³; now, at $10 per cm³ think of the considerable savings I am going to make to make if I can complete my preliminary testing and beat the May 30 availability deadline! (besides the little known fact that I've been born with a gold plated silver spoon in my mouth, when it comes to my health, nothing, but absolutely nothing, is too expensive for me! :) • BTW, it would be nice if Shapeways would also make available a few expensive exotic woods on their material list (see descriptions pics), wouldn't it? :)
