Rolling-log d10 dice shaped like an alchemist's potion vial — a faceted glass body, a tapered neck and a cork. You roll it like a log; the rounded bottom and tapered top can never rest stably, so it always settles on a flat body face — read the face on top. A units vial (1–10) plus a tens vial (00–90) together roll a percentile d100. Ships with a 6-bay arched apothecary cabinet to stand the set on a shelf, engraved with the four classical elements + aether under a philosopher's-stone crown.

⚠ The stand is decorative — vials sit loosely

The apothecary stand is a display piece, not a carry case. The vials rest loosely in open-top sockets — they are seated by gravity only, nothing clips or retains them. It is lovely as a shelf display, but it is not meant for carrying the dice from place to place: lift, tip or jostle the rack and the vials will simply fall out. Move the rack empty and re-seat the vials at the table.

Three / two-colour the easy way

Each *_3color / *_2color file is several named solids sharing one coordinate frame. In Bambu Studio: Import → right-click → Split to Parts → assign each part a filament (potion = translucent, numerals = contrast, cork = brown; stand = stone, sigils = gold). The numerals and sigils are intersected with the body so they sit flush in exactly their engraved grooves — perfectly registered, nothing to move. Prefer paint? Print the single-colour files and brush acrylic into the grooves, wiped flush.

Print

  • Dice export already lying on one flat face → flat on the bed, no supports. End tapers are 45°; the neck/cork cantilever prints clean in PLA. A skirt/brim helps the small contact line.

  • Stand prints flat on its base, no supports — open-top conical sockets, self-supporting arched panel + bevelled plinth (≤45°).

  • 0.2 mm layers, 3 walls. PLA or PETG, any 0.4 mm FDM (Bambu Lab P2S).

Fair roll

Every one of the 10 faces is identical about the roll axis, so the die is fair like a pencil/spindle die. Give it a real roll, not a drop.

Source (parametric)

vial_dice.scad is fully parametric. faces sets the die (6/8/10/12), die_type picks the units/tens preset, and face_labels lets you engrave any set of labels — runes, suits, 0–9, custom text — one per flat. Stand size, socket count and clearances are all variables. Re-export with the bundled build.sh.
