could you really build a papercraft die that holds up to any sort of use??? Because I know if I was to build this, my friends would try to roll it. |

That is awesome. As for papercraft dice, I would expect thicker paper to work better, with photopaper possibly being best. |

It is beautiful. Do they make them in brass as well? |

It's a 3D printer type thing he uses...But I think the company that does it offers a metallic plating of the finished resin/plastic print. He does a complete "Thorns" dice set...but I think I would want ta complete set of the "Gearhead" ones

I would spend maximum ~$15-20 on a really cool d20 made out of metal...but $9-12 for plastic doesn't sit well. The metal versions are $40-100! |

Yeah, I thought they were cool too, but the metal ones are just too expensive.Sadly, that's single-unit production for ya. If the originator came up with the money for a 10,000 pc. run they'd be a lot cheaper. |

I've been looking at this production method for a while, and it's great that it's available! Heck, previously one couldn't get this kind of thing at all. And if an item sells well, maybe someone will decide to invest in a longer run. So yes, it's a limitation of the single-run model, but it's still one of the coolest things ever that we have any opportunity to get these. Steve |

Oh, absolutely. I get on the Shapeways site every couple weeks just to see what's new, and I always find something impressive. I can't afford it, but as you say, it's great that it's available. |

I can't wait for this kind of thing to become even more readily available. Think of the at-home applications, especially if you could print in color! I am envisioning things like downloadable and printable minis/terrain/dice/storage/etc. Now to get them to find out how to print players/DMs... |

Lol. As it happens, they've been working on this for a while: http://www.livescience.com/118-printabl ... issue.html A recent talk/demo showing how far the these technologies have come in six years: http://www.ted.com/talks/anthony_atala_ ... idney.html |

If you want to make your own CNC deposit printer, the instructions are here: http://buildyourcnc.com/default.aspx I thought there was someone who was offering a kit, but I don't see it handy/ Steve |

Cool. I thought I'd seen another, more packaged one. But couldn't find it at the moment. Thanks for the link! Steve |
