I have a bit of down time between now and the new year, so I’ve decided to work on a totally discretionary, decorative project.
A dear friend gave my family a large clear tube of Chicago mix popcorn for the holidays. The treat was quickly consumed, and I pondered the idea of how much the empty tube looked like a dice container.
That got me thinking about making an oversized set of OD&D dice to upcycle this fine container with!
I had seen the GaryCon set of OD&D style dice on Instagram (which subsequently sold out), found some reference pics, and got to "work" during my break. Thingiverse had a free-to-download set of 5 (the D20 serves as the D10 also). The STL file had them grouped as one file, so I quickly used Meshmixer to separate them into individual dies and got to printing!
Come time to paint, I’m thinking of rattle-can spray to give more rugged functionality if I wanted to use them in a session on the tabletop, and also give them a light gloss shine. Updates forthcoming. Happy holidays!
