This is just a study of an idea to recreate a great idea someone has already done on Shapeways
Using gears to represent the number faces starting with the big one and working down from there.
Here’s a link to the inspiration

My first thought was Steampunk Borg when I saw the thumb : D
Made me think of Hell raiser 🙂
Man, that’s awesome.
Nice! My RPG gang would freak out seing this!
Oooooh.
I’d like to see a final version of this!
You should do a larger version of this with inner workings, so if you turn one gear they all turn.
Does the "4"’s raised profile throw off the die?
This is great. I imagine people playing at home and knocking over drinks and flinging bowls of chips with every turn.

As a study in how to put it together I would change a few things to make it practical. Probably change some of the gear choices or shrink a side by a tile of two.
To be fair, it’s more for looks. I would imagine that the whole thing is unfairly unbalanced and would win me 1,000s of dollars in Las Vegas.
Whoa WIN!!
How do they roll? Any number come up more than the others? Very cool. 🙂
Cool looking.
this is the shit
