My sis is a teacher of preK-2nd grade. She wanted a d6 for the kids to roll that doesn't add up to over 10.

Sis wanted a 6 sided die that only rolled 1-3 for her kids learning to count. Then after I modeled this one, she told me that the kids don't know numerals yet either. Ha. So pips it is.

 

I've also added a more closer to normal size die from the super large one. 

I've printed the small ones in PLA. Both 100% infill and 0% infill.  The 100% feels very good and solid, but both roll well. 

 

I did see an article that talked about a way to print dice properly.  And one of the salient points was that if you remove material from the sides, it should be balanced properly. And I didn't do that here. The numerical model should probably be within statistical variance, but the pips will probably favor landing on the 3 pips. Which means it will probably roll 3 more than the standard 33%, and given the material differences I bet it will probably fall closer to 40% for 3, 33% for 2, and 27% for 1.  So I'll have to revisit this model and fix that.

Keep in mind, that if you print between 0 and 100% infill, that depending on your infill type, it will definitely be unbalanced.
