side is read be number of planet gears on the top side.  spinning any gear should cause all other gears to move.  great care has been taken so die is perfectly weighted no mater what position gears are in.

Has been printed.  FUD is to soft to allow gears to work.  Looks really cool though.

D4 Shell

It's a Truncated Sphere D4 without faces!
The idea of keeping only the round part of a truncated sphere die when the numbers are located on vertices or edges is from Clsn (check his D9 for instance).
The thickness is 2 mm. Since it does not contain a lot of material, this die is quite affordable.

All the D4: 
  - Truncated Sphere D4
 - Concave D4
 - D4 Shell

See also the D8 Shell.

Truncated Sphere D11 with 3-fold symmetry.

This die is inspired by the repulsion force polyhedra. Nonetheless, the underlying polyhedron (not rounded) is very different from the shape that can be obtained through this technique with 11 points repulsing each others.

Actually, I calculated the positions of 11 points to have a maximal radius for the circles resulting from the intersection of this underlying polyhedron with a sphere with the following constraints:
- 2 poles (upper and lower face - parallel to the horizontal plane)
- 3 points around each pole
- 3 remaining points corresponding to 3 faces perpendicular to the horizontal plane

The result is a truncated sphere with 11 circular faces of same radius.

It is numbered from 1 to 11: 2 numbers are on faces (poles), 6 between vertices and face and  3 on edges. The sum of the numbers on the 3 upper vertices surronding the North pole is 18.  Same thing for the sum of the 3 numbers on the lower vertices surronding the South pole and the sum of the 3 numbers on the edges of the equator.

This die is made of a shell of 1.5mm that contains support material to make it heavier. The engraved numbers have a 0.75 mm depth. They are quite big since they overlap the surrounding faces and thus should be very easy to read.

See this thread for more informations.

Available Truncated Sphere Dice: D4, D6, D8, D9, D10, D%, D11, D12, D14, D15, D16, D17, D18, D20, D24, D32, D33

I've also designed a slightly less expensive version that's the same size, available here: 

Now you can carry a fortune telling I-Ching die with you wherever you go!  
This 8-Sided die is hollow and can be worn as an attractive pendant, will you need to provide your own cord or chain.

Rolling the die while concentrating on a question or problem reveals the Tri-grams that will lead to your answer.

Recommended in Stainless Steel, gold, Silver, Alumide or Bronze.

Reading your fortune using the I Ching: Roll the die twice (or once with 2 die) make a note of the trigrams from each roll, when stacked over the top of each other they create one of the 64 Hexagrams that will answer your question. This website is a handy resource for interpreting the hexagrams.

• 60-sided die with faces numbered from 1 to 60.

• 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 my "Happy Skull" d6 design. It is 24mm on each side (just under 1"), so it is a bit oversized vs. a normal d6 dice. A more standard sized 17mm version is available here: http://www.shapeways.com/model/211715/happy_skull_d6_17mm.html?gid=ug37365 I recommend ordering that one if you're going to print in metal, since i couldn't get this one down to what I consider an "affordable cost" in that medium.

The dice is, despite appearances, reasonably well balanced. Odd numbered sides are opposed by the next-largest even number, and have a single double-thick tooth to help counter-balance the weight of the extra tooth on the even side. Also, each side is rotated 180 degrees from its opposing face. This should put the center of gravity at or very close to the center of the dice, making for a nice, fair roll.

Long before we Shapies designed our own dice the Romans played with Long Dice. These were made out of ivory, typically, and had designs carved onto the faces to represent the numbers. This intrigued me and I looked around the Wicked Wide World and couldn't find any for sale. So I made one. It measures 3x1cm and I have attempted to make it fairly weight distributed by carving out six semi-spheres on each face - some on the outside and the remainder on the inside; yes, I know this isn't perfect but it's better than having one side with one hole and the other side with six.

The added bonus to this design is that the dice doesn't go bouncing all over the playing surface, making it much safer for children to play with.

Double D6

This is a compound of a nearly regular D6 and of a sum-D6. As the sum-D6 that composes the shell gives results from 0 to 5, the core is numbered from 2 to 7.
As a consequence, when you roll this double die, you got the same results as summing the results of two regular D6. But in a very original way!
For instance, in the rendering, the upper face of the core show 3 pips and the upper part of the shell, around this face, shows 2 extra pips. Thus, the result is 3+1+1 that is 5.

SUCESSFULLY PRINTED in White Strong and Flexible.
Not printable in Metal, sorry (movable parts).
