your 'hinges' die has got the one opposite the two and 2 sixes opposite each other, but the Steampunk D6 die is very nice

my bad, will be fixed in a sec - thanks !

edit: Fixed !

Gumball want a die with 2 sixs on it here is a chance.

I have ordered one to test but it will probably be 3 weeks before I get it. I am 99% sure this will work and if it doesn't a little sand paper and/or glue is all that is needed to fix it. Because it would be so easy to fix I have put up at a slight discount until I get the test model in. Hope you enjoy.



Want to make your own die. Now you can. Get each side dyed different colours, configure the dye to prefer one side over another or get the shell made up of a different material then the sides. The options are limitless(Well 1,330,255,872 combinations if you keep to standard die numbering and do not cut the alignment tabs off.).

What you need is the frame and 6 faces. Assembled them together by pushing the faces into the frame. For your convenience there is a kit available with all 6 fair and all 6 loaded faces and the frame:

If you want to make combinations then use these options

http://www.shapeways.com/model/171065/byod_loaded_side_6.htm l – Loaded Side 6

Fair sides are not available individually because you can make a fair die out of the loaded sides by arranging in the order shown on the loaded faces rendering.

For the loaded dies each side can be place in 1 of 4 ways. If you want to make the die role more often to 1 side then another place the heavy side away from the number you want it to roll. Placing the weights opposite each other will cancel there effect out. Placing 4 together will shift the center of gravity 499um towards that side.

You are welcome
Since I am here, let me show you one of my latest projets : the Average Die.
It is similar to some framed dice I've seen here: an octahedron inside a framed cube. But to find the result of your draw, you have to make the average of the four faces of the inner octahedron that are pointing upward.

For instance, 8 + 10 + 1 + 1 = 20, thus the result is 20/4 = 5. The positions of the results (from 1 to 6) match those of a standard D6.
This obliges you to make some mental exercise (interesting for children, for instance), and it makes the suspens even longer to check your result!
I am currently working on a version with letters and versions with different numbers of faces.

Well that gave me an interesting idea. Standard cross is made up of quarters. So here is a cross die made that way. And always has been weighted to keep fair. However there is probably pretty good odds you may roll a corner occasionally. Will get 1 up later that will fix that.
