Redesigned the Mechanical dice by Pieter, pretty much everything is changed except for the mechanism.

 

List of changes:

  • More forgiving tolerances. Original model, that i have printed on my somewhat calibrated Sovol SV06 was unfortunately non-functional. This one is easier to print.
  • Fair dice. Sum of the opposite sides is equal to 7, so center of mass is not (or not as big of) a factor in a roll. Its possible that its still not perfectly centered, finding the center of mass turned out to a be a difficult task, so i gave up.
  • Redesigned case. Now it uses countersunk M2 bolts instead of glue; Front panel with the window can be rotated 180° if you want; Square shape is a bit easier to hold personally and i needed place for bolts anyways. 
  • Holes all the way through on the dice disk for better visibility

 

Non-printed parts:

  • M2x8mm or M2x6mm bolts - 4pcs
  • Small ~4-4.5mm diameter spring, about 10mm long - 1pcs (could be from a pen. I used one from a mechanical keyboard switch)
  • Some lubricant for smoother movement

 

My slicer settings for it (printed in PLA):

  • 0.2mm layer height
  • no supports
  • 20% infill
  • orientation - as loads in the slicer
  • for the part named “button” i have used a brim. Make sure to fully remove it after if you going to use it too.
