Description

Make your own tabletop dice set with this OpenSCAD script! This script generates a chosen die with individually customizable sides from text, emoji, or SVG image. Graphics and numbers can be debossed, flush, or framed by a cutout. Updated script with improvements to d4, allowing for points to be labeled instead of sides. This update is in beta and may have bugs.

Die Parameters

die

choose die (d20, d12, d10, d8, d6, d4)

graphic type

choose graphic type (cutout, debossed, flush)

die diameter

d6 and d4 diameter value is equivalent to approximate height

 

example diameters are d20 - 30mm, d12 - 25mm, d10 - 25mm, d100 - 22mm,  d8 - 25mm, d6 - 16mm, d4 - 16mm 

die rounding

larger values increase roundness of corners

 

all examples have rounding value of 1

die color

color of die

Default Graphic Parameters

default text size

size of text that will be applied to all sides unless overwritten

default graphic depth

depth of graphic

graphic color

color of graphic

default font

only applies to dice that have at least 9 sides

d10 0 indexed

set true for 0-9 instead of 1-10 for d10

d10 multiples of 10

sides labeled instead of points

fn

model quality

force_flush_fix

this will deboss the graphic by an extremely small amount that is less than the resolution of FDM printers

 

only needed if using parametric model maker in Makerworld

flush_fix_value

value to offset graphic (should be very small)

Fonts

Multiple fonts available (including emojis). View available fonts by selecting the code tab in customizer and selecting the libraries and fonts button (next to save). Run locally in OpenSCAD to use custom fonts.

To use emojis

  • Use “Noto Emoji” as font
  • Copy emoji from Noto Emoji glyphs page

To use Unicode symbols

  • Use “Noto Sans Symbols” or "Noto Sans Symbols 2" as font
  • Copy Symbol from corresponding glyphs page (Symbols, Symbols 2)

Flush Graphic Option

  • If you are having strange artifacts in the graphic make sure the “force flush fix” variable is set to true.
  • If you don't want to use “force flush fix” you can get a more accurate model by running the script locally in the dev snapshot version of OpenSCAD, using the settings below. Additionally this script requires the BOSL2 library to be added to OpenSCAD's available libraries.

     

    • Under Edit / Preferences / Features check the boxes next to
      • lazy union
      • textmetrics
      • predictable-output

         

    • Under Edit / Preferences / Advanced make sure Backend is set to Manifold (new/fast)

       

    • To install BOSL2 library (additional installation instructions on github readme)
      • download zip file from github (click green code button and download as zip)
      • extract contents of zip and rename extracted directory as “BOSL2”
      • in OpenSCAD, under File, select Show Library Folder
      • move extracted BOSL2 folder into library folder

         

  • Files exported from OpenSCAD can be exported as either .stl or .3mf but need to be separated by part in slicer so each part can be colored individually.
  • Files exported from customizer need to be exported as .3mf

 

Example Post-processing

  • The examples from the print profile use supports that need to be removed after printing.
