The dice is intended for
– letter games with the first graders
– Picking out the diced letter from the letter cards
– Rolling the dice and naming the corresponding words
– phonological awareness exercises etc.
The dice has 10 sides, so that each letter A, E, I, O, U is present twice.
Dice
The dice is printed in one part. Infill is necessary for the dice. A value of round about 4-5% is sufficient, whereby more infill contributes to a more stable dice and better rolling behaviour. Support structure isn’t necessary.
At a layer height of 0.15mm, the dice looks very good and overhangs print well.
Labels
The plates are arranged flat on the print bed and can all be printed simultaneously. To get the plates to be bicolor at the end, it requires a color change for printers with only one printhead. Instructions for Cura can be found in the Guidelines in Article 5.
If you print the first layer with 0.2mm and then each further layer with 0.1mm, you have to set the color change for layer number 3.
Take care that the prints do not have an elephant foot!
