Modular Dice - Snap-fit - FDM Easy Print

Video here!

I love dice games - Farkle, Liar's Dice, Fate, Lasers & Feelings (and have been wanting to make my own)
I've SLA resin printed dice before - but I always felt, with some clever orientation, FDM dice would be achievable.

I printed the dice bodies at 0.1mm layers and a touch of fuzzy-skin
The faces can be 0.1mm or 0.2mm layers - and I like to orient the chamfer against the bed, that way, you get a nice smooth surface as the 'player facing' surface

I think the 'bee' dice variant requires a bit of supports - but all others should print entirely without. I don't use brims either.

In the video you can see the critical portion assembly - but the full steps are:

• Place the clip into the clip-tool
• Use the clip-tool to shove the clip into a die-half
• Fill a die-half with faces - say, 2, 4 and 6
  (Get a reference die to help you know where each face should go)
• Fill the other die-half with faces - say, 1, 3, and 5
• Ensure the halves are oriented how you like (say, 6 across from 1, 2 across from 5, etc) and start pressing togeather
• The halves will still be separated by a few mm - this is good - go around each die face, and ensure the edge is pressed into the receiving slot. If you don't the faces may prevent the die from full closing (or pop out). But if you use your thumbnail (or w/e) to ensure each face is fully seated and ready to slip into the opposite half, then it should click together firmly

(If any faces did pop you - you can still insert them after. Wedge the straight edge into the slot, then use a marker or other device to firmly work the edge of the face into it's receiving lip)

Are the die unfair in some way - probably! I have not performed a statistical analysis yet (though I may).
For now - it was sufficient that any loading is not obviously aligned with any faces, and thus, not likely to be exploited by a casual user.

Enjoy!
