The Flutter stock market game has been a family firm favourite for 50 years, coming out every Christmas afternoon. The Companies were identified by their colour and name with the name starting from A through to F. One dice is the normal numbered six sided and the other is a six sided letter dice. To progress the stock, the number of spaces were arrived at from the standard dice and the company 'peg' to move was identified by the letter dice.

To print 0.1mm layer solid PLA. Print the die at 45 degree with plate brim, no support to allow for good character definition. Letter inserts are provided but if a light colour is used for the dice then the shadow enables easy character recognition. A white die needs no inserts. Print time is approx. 45 minutes.. Printing must be onto a smooth plate to ensure a smooth side on the 6 sided dice if you elect to print directly on the base. I found on base printing produced less defined lettering on the base contact side. This defect could maybe be improved by lowering the plate temperature but I figured that'd make plate adhesion a bit more problematic?
