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.
Due to the rounding of the corners, the dice rolls very well. Ideal on a soft surface made of felt, fabric or similar (e.g. dice board).
The dice and the plates are printed separately and then glued together with a drop of super glue.
Dice
The dice must be printed with about 5% filling. More filling makes the dice heavier, which makes it roll even better. Supporting structure on the bottom side is recommended, because then the platelet can be glued on better.
Plates
Ideally you change the filament after 0.4mm for a better contrast (I print the first layer with 0.2mm and then with 0.1mm -> so change after layer 3). This technique is described here (headline “Multicolour printing by changing the filament”).
