Dice Template
These are the 5 platonic solids to be used as dice template.

You can download them freely and modify them.
If you want to order this set of platonic solids as they are, there is no markup: you just pay for the material (as usual, shipping is free for any order of $25 or more).

In order to reduce the cost, they are hollow, with a tunnel joining the internal shell to the external shell. This tunnel is meant to prevent the automatic repair tool of Shapeways from removing the internal shell. But it is small enough to be invisible and to keep the support material inside.
The thickness of the models is 1.5 mm which is thick enough for Strong and Flexible materials, Details materials and Alumide.

A Youtube tutorial on how to hollow a die is also available.

So you have been staring at your Tumblr stream for the past 45 minutes without blinking and your retinas are now burnt with images of LOLcats, Japanese girls, Animated GIFs of Harry Potter and macro shots of cupcakes.  You cannot continue to passively observe and it is time to interact but your brain is now fried and you do not know what to do...

Time to Roll the Tumblr Dice...

It will help you decide whether to reblog that twisted animated GIF, unfollow that freak who keeps posting images of themselves in the bathroom mirror, <3 the photo of the kitten sleeping or is it time to go home?

Let the Tumblr Dice Decide

NOTE: With each order you only get one dice, recomended materials are 3D printed stainless steel (as shown), or silver to get a nice weight and detail

Weighted Companion Cube from Portal, 6-Sided Die (Hollow)

(The 6 is upside down in this picture, numbers go from 1-6)

A 50-sided dice based on a pentacontahedron. The faces are triangles, squares and rhombi. Second version, hollow.

UPDATED VERSION, THICKNESS > 1 mm PRINTABLE ALSO IN DETAIL MATERIAL

Truncated Sphere D15.

This die is inspired by the repulsive force polyhedra although in this case, the underlying polyhedron (not rounded) is very different from the shape that can be obtained through this technique with 15 points repulsing each others.
Actually, I calculated the positions of points (5 at each tropic, 5 at equator, none at the pole) to have a maximal radius for the circles resulting from the intersection of this underlying polyhedron with a sphere. The result is a truncated sphere with 15 circular faces of same radius.

It is numbered from 1 to 15: all numbers are on edges.
The sum of the numbers on each tropic is 40 and the same applies to the equator.
Except for 8, all the numbers go by pair summing to 16: on the tropic two numbers symmetric relatively to the plane of the equator sum to16 and on the equator circle itself two numbers symmetric relatively to number 8 sum to 16. 

This die is made of a shell of 1.5 mm that contains support material to make it heavier. The engraved numbers have a 0.75 mm depth.

This is a hollow d8 modeled in a Steampunk theme.

A d6 die of my own personal design, I call them Platform dice.
Order includes one d6.

Modeled in blender 2.59.

Chain Maille (mail) Dice Bag.

The mail is quite a loose weave of European 4 in 1, 'wire' is 1.5mm diameter and the inside diameter of the rings are 8.5mm giving an aspect ratio (AR) of 5 2/3.

There's twelve rings at the top to thread a draw string through.

A six sided die? A rather ugly looking one, too. The design is rather plain and the surface is covered in cracks, but there's more to this than meets the eye. Unfold it and it turns into a dragon! It's a bit big for a standard die and there's no way in heck this thing's going to roll fair, but there's no doubting it's going to be a cool addition to your next gaming night. 42 individual parts, so there's a huge load of assembly required. Fortunately I've written up step-by-step instructions for assembly right here: http://www.squidoo.com/dragon-die-assembly-instructions

Sphere Dice Set

The Sphere Dice are solid dice obtained by intersecting a regular polyhedron and a sphere.
They are "as fair as possible": the shape is fair but, as the numbering remove some material, there could be a little bias (but probably not more than commercial dice).
Here you have all the 7 Sphere Dice in one set:
 - D4 Sphere
 - D6 Sphere
 - D8 Sphere
 - D10 Sphere
 - D% Sphere
 - D12 Sphere
 - D20 Sphere
For dice collectors and RPG players.

Get all the dice from D3 to D20 plus the D% and D24 by gathering:
- the Sphere Dice Set
- the DCC Expansion Pack
- the Odd Spherical Dice Set
- the D18

• 60-sided die with faces numbered from 1 to 60.
• This design is based upon the geometry of the Pentagonal Hexecontahedron
• A variation of this design could be seen here: http://www.shapeways.com/model/150611/the_rosetta_dice__2__60_.html.

• Note: The unique construction method that I have used in assembling (piece by piece) this model is based upon a theorem on the duality of regular polyhedra that I have demonstrated in 1981 while creating and building by hand a series of polyhedral sculptures. For more info, see:

This is a 60-sided die (d60) based on a polyhedron known as a Pentakis Dodecahedron (the shape you get when you put a 5-sided pyramid on top of each of the faces of a dodecahedron, or d12). It should have a face come up with a random number on it every time you roll it. I''m not sure until I get mine, but it might have the up-face slightly offset from where the bottom face is, that is, it won't be directly above the bottom face but the top face will be flat. This is a fairly large die, which should help with legibility, but you still need to ink this with a pen or something similar.

 The Ossuary set of dice piles together skulls with large flat numerals (or pips in the case of the four sided die).

They're intended to add a hint of the mortuary madness of the Paris Catacombs to your die rolling, while remaining pleasant to handle and roll.

Set of six dice, fifty (count 'em) skulls.

Twenty sided, from twelve skulls.
Twelve sided, eight skulls with side bones.
Ten sided, with another twelve skulls.
Eight sided, built from six skulls.
Six sided, built from eight skulls.
Four sided, a simple tetrahedral pyramid of skulls.

Truncated Sphere D4

I was ask to make this die because it is easier to read the result than on traditional D4. It also rolls far better.

This is one of the seven dice from the Truncated Sphere Dice Set.

See this thread for more informations.

Available Truncated Sphere Dice: D1, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D9, D10, D%, D11, D12, D13, D14, D15, D16, D17, D18, D19, D20, D24, D32, D33
Alternative shapes: alt D6 (3-fold), alt D7 (2-fold), alt D8, 3-fold D10 (rounded), 3-fold D10 (pointed), 4-fold D10, 5-folded D10 (pointed), Optimal D11, alt D24 (snub)

A single die that emulates all the possible rolls of two six-sided dice. All 36 possible rolls are depicted on its 36 faces, using die-pip diagrams. It should be big enough to read, since it''s nice and roomy and hollow.

The pips are maybe a little too deep, but otherwise pretty good.

Alt D22 Sphere

This is an alternative Truncated Sphere D22. It has the same symmetries as the tetrahedron.
See the D22 with 5-fold symmetry for numbers located on the faces.

This die is inspired by the repulsion force polyhedra. In fact, the underlying polyhedron (not rounded) looks like the shape that can be obtained through this technique with 22 points repulsing each others.
But in this case, I calculated the positions of those points to have a maximal radius for the circles resulting from the intersection of this underlying polyhedron with a sphere. The result is a truncated sphere with 22 circular faces of same radius.

Available Truncated Sphere Dice: D4, D6, D8, D9, D10, D%, D11, D12, D14, D15, D17, D18, D20, D24, D32, D33
