My one biker buddy, who works with 3d printing for some of his work
stuff gave me a present yesterday - he says it took him a bit of
time/trouble to get hold of the 3d printing pattern for it, but, it's a
20-sided die, like those used in dungeons and dragons, and other forms
of role playing games, and it has both braille numbers, and normal print
numbers on each of it's sides.
The nice thing is it actually also has the number symbol included before
each set of digits, which makes it easier to figure out which way is the
right way up before reading the characters to see what's been rolled.
In total, it's roundabout the size of a tennis ball, but, not too heavy,
and seems like it's pretty long lasting material - will need to see how
it reacts to rolling off a table-top a few times...<smile>
And, me and some sighted friends do play a form of table-top role
playing game, where I generally work with my character sheets in a text
file on a laptop, and use software on either the laptop, or my android
phone to roll dice normally, but, at times, you want to be able to roll
dice with your own hands - dice ranging from 4-sided, 6-sided, 8-sided,
10-sided, 12-sided, and 20-sided, FWIW.
Stay well
