20 Sided Dice

Prints brilliantly in Stainless Steel.

The weight is impressive.

The "Black Detail" material has a suede like finish.

An 20 sided dice with embossed numbers. In Stainless Steel the dice weighs around 120 grams. This combined with the shine and coldness of the steel make an real impression.

Yeah it does take a little practice to get it right but as long as you read the material guides re: wall thickness and minimum detail you should be pretty right. Good luck. :)

Interesting. Thanks for responding. I'm just getting started in this and I don't have extra cash to make a lot of test prototypes, so I'm trying to figure out how everything works so I'm not surprised by the results.

Yeah that's one of the changes they made. I'm not sure if they've gone back and rechecked models that were uploaded before the change. I actually ordered this in black plastic as well when I ordered the metal one. I cut the plastic one in half and it was solid though. I know the metal process is slightly different but I imagine the interior is full of material too.

Ah. I'm still a little confused, because I don't see any holes in the model. It's my understanding that a hollow model with no holes will get charged as if it was solid, because the material is trapped inside. Maybe it's different for metal, though.

It's designed to be hollow but the one I got printed is solid. I believe Shapeways have improved their algorithm for calculating mass now and it should actually print hollow now, hence the low cost shown.

I'm a little confused - you say the die masses about 120g in stainless steel, but that would imply a volume of 14.87cc, and a cost of 148.70 USD.
