Description
Whether you need an emergency d8 or a quick little extra to put in a celebratory card for a fellow DnD’er, the “D8 kitcard” has you covered.
This d8 (V1) measures approximately 14mm face to face and features a layout of which the opposite sides sum to 9.
The print profiles with frame have also been optimized to provide a clean and easy break between the pieces and the frame. Due to this it is recommended to let the buildplate cool off before removing the prints.
The joints of the pieces feature a slight dovetail design and require a bit of pressure to push into place. Once assembled it is not recommended to disassemble again.
1. Carefully remove each piece from the frame.
2. Gently bend the faces of the pieces inward.
3. Flatten the pieces and connect the 4-face to the 1-face & then go around connecting the other faces.
And there you have your new D8!
In the print profiles you will find the following options:
All these were designed and printed with PLA.
Comments on previous kitcard dice have pointed out that PETG has good results as well, but ABS does not.
Additionally PETG doesn’t leave the fold lines you get with PLA.
This does require some further testing, so if anyone tries it with PETG or other materials, please leave a comment.
Kitcards for the D4, D6 are in the works.
