Academic Tools - Journal Review Dice

For situations where the grades are Accept, Minor revision, Major Revision and Reject.

Printing

You can print the first 0.7mm in one color and the rest in a contrasting color for pretty lettering. Do not use “Place on Face” to rotate the faces down! There is a separate download for a full flat plate, as PrusaSlicers “Place on Face”-tool gets confused by some of the lettering and gives the faces just enough of an angle to break alignment.

For the core there is an alternate option with space for a 6mm nut. You can use this to bias the dice to one side. The nut just sits in there loosely and should be held on by glue.

Assembly

For assembly you simply insert the core into one of the faces and push the other faces on the legs. It'll be a snug fit, but you'll still need glue.

I used epoxy glue and tape so I could push everything perfectly in place before it dried. I would not recommend superglue, as it would probably dry before you're done aligning and assembling. Be sure to glue everything at the same time, as you can't realign anything once you have glued any one face on.

Please note: This model is a JOKE and should not be used for actual reviews. The use of dice in the review of scientific papers has been widely regarded as a grave offense within the scientific community. The detrimental impact of this practice on the integrity of scientific research cannot be understated. Those who engage in such practices may be seen as contravening the fundamental principles of scientific inquiry and may thus be viewed as deserving of a special place in hell, where they shall suffer the fiery brimstone of eternal damnation.
