This, my friends, THIS is why I freaking LOVE Thingiverse.  Turner’s Cubes too easy?  You want an the exact opposite of a Turner’s Cube?  No problem, br3ttb and Whosawhatsis have got your back.

Oh, what’s that?  You just have to have a 20-sided die that says “20″ on each side?  Pssh!  A trifle!  Polymaker has got you covered.  As the first uploader with an STL and OpenSCAD file, he is also the proud recipient of 9000 internet points, crazy mad bragging rights, and OpenSCAD kudos!

Seriously though, I’ve wanted one of these for the longest time.  I cannot wait to start churning these out.

Don’t forget – you can earn some awesome imaginary prizes by designing your own 20-sided all 20′s die if you can do it in fewer lines of code.  A point of clarification, it is not only acceptable to use an OpenSCAD library, it is encouraged.

makerbot.com/blog/2011/09/29/openscad-challenge-regular-icosahedron/ It didn't take me too many lines of code, but I did use two libraries so make of it what you will. ;) BTW, just because it's OpenSCAD code, don't assume it's 100% parametric. It's pretty close though, someone just needs to come around and iron out the formulas. Uses: WilliamAAdams's Platonic Solids: thingiverse.com/thing:10725 Tony Buser's Bitmap module: thingiverse.com/thing:2054 Update ====== For extra geek factor, I've included some options with some fantasy fonts. There's even an elvish option! All the text, except for the blocky original, was created with my own text2surface.py (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:10404) with commands like: ./text2surface.py -t 20 -f "Tengwar Annatar" -z 7 -rn -d 12 -o 20_tengwarannatar.stl Update2 ======= Positioned for printing.
