Stack the odds in your favor with 3D-printable dice weighted for the number(s) of your choosing. This is a simple, fun print to replace lost dice and gain an edge on friends and family in your favorite board games.
Print the weighted dice at 100% infill for maximum effect and the solid dice at 50% infill to make the dice indistinguishable by weight, though a strong backlight will reveal the trick. I painted the dice to keep track of which dice were which and make the dice more fun and easier to use.
After printing, I rolled each dice 500 times to estimate the effect that the weighted sections had on the probability of the dice. The results are listed below. For comparison, a standard dice should theoretically roll each number approximately 16.7% of the time.
Weighted 6
1 - 10.0% 2 - 14.8% 3 - 17.8% 4 - 16.6% 5 - 14.8%
*6* - 26.0%
Weighted 5 & 6
1 - 8.8% 2 - 12.8% 3 - 16.8% 4 - 13.2 %
*5* - 24.4% *6* - 24.0%
Weighted 4, 5
