A few quick corrections: 0:36 - I managed to spell both “Egyptian” and “resembled” wrong in the same paragraph. I am deeply ashamed of this. 7:06 - I said “angle” fish I meant “angel” fish. I am ashamed of this as well, but not quite as deeply. But seriously, issues like this are the exact same problem I had with the screen wiring. I get too distracted with the big picture and forget to go back and double check previous work.

Fun story: in school we made our own PCBs using sharpies and an acid bath. You got the PCB and drew the traces on with sharpie and put it in the bath. Then when it comes out the acid has taken away the copper leaving where you drew untouched. I believe it’s called Acid Etching. This was for Electronics.

@@unknown-otter the industrial approach is for better replication, sharpie was the old way tho, that's why old electronics have squiggly smooth lines instead of parallel straight lines
I’d honestly pay for this if it was a product, yes more expensive than actual dice but definitely a conversation piece at the table and the convenience is cool!
I like physical dice. They feel nice, are tactile, they just work, and they are pretty and work as collectables. If you want digital dice, there are many websites or apps that have this function. Even just google the search engine will take dice commands and roll dice for you right in the search area
0:30 my favorite fact about dice is that the original 6 sided dice like the one shown in that photo were frequently made of animal's knucklebones, which is the reason why the phrase "roll the bones" exists. It's because they were literal bones that ended up getting markings to denote each side. People also frequently carried and used their own special dice, and they were so integral to some cultures that people were frequently buried with their own dice.
@@Femiway_Bunty d10 is a ten sided die, and d100 rolls 1-100 which usually rolled with 2 d10 one for the tens and the other for the ones. But for RPGs both the d10 and d100 are mandatory.
@@Femiway_Bunty table top RPGs use dice for a bunch of things, usually to determine outcomes. For example in D&D when attacking an enemy, the player will roll a d20 and add a modifier to the result based on their character's skills and this will determine whether or not they succeed in their action based on the defence of the enemy.
“Dice are one of my favorite objects, they are up there bananas and trucks.” Thank you for clearly establishing your autism credentials up front, now I can fully trust you on this videos subject matter.
it would be cool to add a vibration motor, like the TapTic engine from an iPhone or the HD rumble motors from a Joy-Con, to vibrate when a dice is being rolled
It's really cool but there's two things I would change about the device. 1 - One of the most fun features of dice is how fidgety they are. Maybe add a rumble engine that shakes while the dice are rolling? 2 - In D&D one of the most known rolls is 8d6 damage from fireball. While it is a meme, increasing the dice limit to 8 would fit that nicely and cover most non-shadowrun use cases. I realize both of these would probably impact the size of the thing, the first requiring space in the case, and the other would need more screen space to display the dice efficiently, but I think they're worth exploring
Things I'd love to see: 1. Up to 6 dice at once - for D&D i see some people have this as the party max 2. Modifiers - adding a +2 or a -1 to every dice rolled would be fantastic 3. Symmetry - overall the design is fantastic, but I think it could be visually improved by planning for symmetry at the start. 4. Motion - the ability to shake it left or right, to clear or reroll would be so fantastic. Great work and video here!
Same man I only use tinkercad for very basic modifiactions. Learned cad on inventor and solidworks so I cant even begin to picture a full project workflow on tinkercad.
@@NiSE_RafterI do 3d printed firearm frames in tinkercad. It's far from ideal, but I only ever learned Autocad, and can't get a license to it. Tinkercad just seemed simple enough that I could pick it up over a weekend. Need to switch to fusion 360 soon tho lol, running Into tinkercad a limits pretty hard.
Holy the wave if nostalgia that this video hit me with. I had the exact same idea back in highschool to make a universal digital dice tool. Albiet mine was way crappier, used a couple seven segment displays, and an arduino instead. Watching this is making me want to remaster it. Great work on the build. Looks amazing.
@@JackCat101yeah but 3D printers are cheap now. You can buy a decent one for $300. Considering you can spend up to $100 on D&D books and how much people spend on miniatures and stuff. And if you do get one you can print scenery and terrain for not just DnD but all tabletops. And actually a lot of people that play DnD do have a 3D printer. Also CF filament isn’t needed. You could just print in PLA+ or PETG if you want that semi transparent look. It’s like saying most DnD players won’t own a gaming console or PC. lol. Look at a Venn Diagram of people that 3d print and people that game/play DnD. Personally I haven’t been in a group for years that hasn’t had at least two of us that can print stuff. It’s not as exotic as you think.
The only issue is that you can only do 5 dice at a time. In DnD sometimes you have to throw a lot [of dice] like Rogues that use sneak attack. Like my character ATM. A swashbuckling rogue that needs to be able to roll 6d6.
You have every right to be proud of this little neat device. It's quite amazing, the whole build really is self contained and a nice bundle. I'm glad you shared this video so we could take part in enjoying it too.
Wow, great video! It’s a fun concept, and seeing it actually come to life was awesome. Props for following through and ending up with a finished product, even if you started this as a “just-for-fun” project!
Cool build. I was worried when I saw you miss out the D10 on your planning sheet because I thought you were going to have each option be a physical button, but since it's done in software you can pretty easily update things if you every play a game that requires that die. The actual design on the case came out great; your little man is looking sharp.
Im stuck at that part on my project where i dont know what the ABSOLUTE BEST microprocessor would be for it so im procrastinating committing to a design
I would suggest to newd a different button to exit from the "result of full die roll" screen so you dont skip the result if you are rolling a bit too fast. Other than that it looks great!
this is awesome! i had the same idea last year for a university embedded systems project. i ended up having to scale it back to meet the deadline so you could only roll one die at a time but overall it was very similar! so cool!
Fun project. I'd still rather use my physical dice, or even a dice app (I use a Unihertz Jelly2, so I can one hand it, too), though. If I were designing this thing, I'd have implemented a dial or something to make it easier to select things/change things.
Thank you so much! There’s always a bit more iteration behind the scenes that can’t make it into the video, but it was definitely a smooth build over all, glad you enjoyed it!!
Yes definitely, especially with custom parts you can waste weeks. This is why getting videos out at any consistent pace requires very careful planning, it's quite tricky!
I need one of these like, 5 years ago. This little gadget would be perfect for DND when you need to calculate damage. If in a future software you could customize the dice pool size, that would be amazing. But man, I was not expecting to like this as much as I did. You are a true craftsman
Neat gadget that looks fun to design and make as a hobbyist, look reminds me of an old school Digivice. But just the feeling of dice is why I like them, most are polished resin or hard plastic but they almost have an ivory feel and have a fidget nature to clack around in your hands. I actually own a mahjong set for that reason, they are of similar finish and are just fun to fiddle around with.
Not only is this a really cool project and result but you did a great job making it feel accessible. Like I might be able to figure it out with some study and practice. Not a lot of these kind of build videos feel that way. Awesome work!
You could have added 3D dice roll animations using some matrix multiplications. It would have made it look so awesome. Anyway the build is very COOL 😎!
wow! everything about your build was so elegant. i really hope you can pursuit youtube fulltime if that is what you want! cant wait to see more videos like this :)
Dude...this is awesome, glad I found ya...what a interesting time we live in...Had to wait since 1980 though but its been a fun ride thus far...I look forward to your other stuff...
I think having something like this would save carrying the different die for different games. Having software to mock up and add custom die would also be cool
I would add one button on the side for each cube size and a reset button. I believe, d4, d6, d8, d12 and d20 would be enough. Just 6 more buttons. So, clicking them will add a throw of that cube and sum of last N throws (I think, N = 6 or 8 should be good enough) and reset button would set counter to 0. So you can sum different kinds of cubes, this is frequently happens in dnd games
So what I would add to this would be the ability to save a dice roll, then call it back up. I would also consider adding an option to have more total dice by instead of having each die be separate, have multiples of the same type of die ganged together. And then maybe be able to designate one die as being separate from the dice that are the same, or else when you add a particular size die, you can have as many of that type as you want, but then you can add that same kind again as a second die so that you can see it separately
I'm pleasantly surprised! I was expecting an unwieldy, awkward final build, but it actually looks pretty solid and easy to use! I'm impressed with intuitive and speedy the UI looks. For me, something like this would never replace actual dice, but if you overcame the limitation of only rolling 5 dice at a time (for example, to roll damage for Fireball), I'd definitely buy a similar product just as a cool gadget to have and show off at games night.
That Ui and board/housing layout looks really good. Love the tips for the screen, I had issues on a project for alignment and I might be able to use this...
Wouldn't it be quicker to just have a button for every die, two buttons that add and subtract dice from the queue, and a "roll" button? The UI would work like this: during the "open" state, the user can press a dice button to select it, then press the "+" button to add it to the queue. The screen would then display "1d20" for example, and any dice added to it would make it display something like "1d20 + 2d6 + 1d4". If the user wants to remove a dice from the queue, then they can select that dice and hit the "-" button. In the previous example, if the user wanted to remove 1d6 from the pool, then the screen would display "1d20 + 1d6 + 1d4". I know I might be overexplaining this, but I think it would be faster this way. Instead of scrolling through 3 or 4 other die just to get to the dice that you want, you would just have to press 2 buttons. Trust me, when playing a game like D&D, for example, every little bit of time spent on rolling die counts. However, this would be at the cost of adding more buttons. Your current design has 6 buttons and a power switch. But with a button for every die type, it would have 10 buttons (1d4, 1d6, 1d8, 1d10, 1d12, 1d20, 1d100, plus, minus, roll) and a power switch. I don't think this cost would be that great, and it wouldn't get in the way of the usability of the device. In addition to that, I think there could be a feature to subtract die from the total roll. For example, if the user selected a d4 then pressed the "-" button, even though they have no d4s in the queue, then the screen would display "-1d4". It would have no effect on it's own, but it would be useful for rolling, for example, "1d20 - 1d4". Maybe you already thought of this and implemented it, but there seems to be no indication of that in the video.
You just showed up on my feed for the first time with this project. This is pretty amazing. I wish I could buy one because I do not have the skills to do what you do.
I would recommend figuring out the ironing settings for your printer and plastic and "iron" the front cover for more smooth surface without those infill and perimeter lines
1:40 The name wasn't the only thing that changed, a fundamental gameplay aspect was removed. The Landlord's Game had an option for cooperative play, and that was removed in Monopoly.
Love this! I had a similar idea a bit back, but I wanted to incorporate it into a book, so that when you opened it, it rolled the dice on a screen inside. Buy my programming is rudimentary at best so it never got off the ground!
Dice Goblin here... Could not care less that is digital I'm looking for the components to build one... No dice Goblin collection is complete without weird dice, got a spinning wheel dice from Kickstarter but need a digital one now ;)
@@splashuwu7501 oh no i have no wisdom to spare just greed... Greed for all kind of dice, electronic, mechanical, square, conical, virtual real... All sorts in the end dice are all that separate my characters from death :D
Personally i would design it with a slightly larger display. Then make it so there is a single external switch/button for power, and swipe to choose dice, shake to roll. It could all fit within the footprint of the screen and look something like a diy ipod nano. Obv thicker and larger than a nano but i would imagine it still wouldnt be too bulky.
I did this over a weekend a year ago. The saddest part: i never use it when playing dnd. When in person physical dice are just better, and when playing remotely you have an entire pc or phone to roll dogital dice on.
Missed opportunity (Very minor) On the back of the case you could have made fitted cutouts for the nuts to sit in, that way its less likely to come loose later on in the future. Still a very good design IMO!
I think it should also display the last total roll at the bottom or top right of the screen, and personally I would prefer it just outputting random numbers, the way it is now you may be able to fudge your rolls.
Super cool build!! Watching your videos always inspires me to pursue my own hobbies! I'm currently learning C# as a hobby, and this makes me want to go learn more 😂 So sorry to hear that the channel isn't stable enough to support you full time, but I love your attitude about it!

0:30 my favorite fact about dice is that the original 6 sided dice like the one shown in that photo were frequently made of animal's knucklebones, which is the reason why the phrase "roll the bones" exists. It's because they were literal bones that ended up getting markings to denote each side.
People also frequently carried and used their own special dice, and they were so integral to some cultures that people were frequently buried with their own dice.
also, in Russian dice can be called "кости" (bones) or "игральные кости" (gaming bones)

So you can sum different kinds of cubes, this is frequently happens in dnd games
So what I would add to this would be the ability to save a dice roll, then call it back up. I would also consider adding an option to have more total dice by instead of having each die be separate, have multiples of the same type of die ganged together.
And then maybe be able to designate one die as being separate from the dice that are the same, or else when you add a particular size die, you can have as many of that type as you want, but then you can add that same kind again as a second die so that you can see it separately
I'm pleasantly surprised! I was expecting an unwieldy, awkward final build, but it actually looks pretty solid and easy to use! I'm impressed with intuitive and speedy the UI looks.
For me, something like this would never replace actual dice, but if you overcame the limitation of only rolling 5 dice at a time (for example, to roll damage for Fireball), I'd definitely buy a similar product just as a cool gadget to have and show off at games night.
I have had the same idea for a while, this finaly got me to start!
Amazing modeling! I was never able to make such a design in tinkercad
That Ui and board/housing layout looks really good. Love the tips for the screen, I had issues on a project for alignment and I might be able to use this...
this looks like it would be a fun project for anyone wanting to get into both coding and soldering
Would love to put one together myself. I am just in love with the whole look of the thing so cool and stylish
Wouldn't it be quicker to just have a button for every die, two buttons that add and subtract dice from the queue, and a "roll" button? The UI would work like this: during the "open" state, the user can press a dice button to select it, then press the "+" button to add it to the queue. The screen would then display "1d20" for example, and any dice added to it would make it display something like "1d20 + 2d6 + 1d4". If the user wants to remove a dice from the queue, then they can select that dice and hit the "-" button. In the previous example, if the user wanted to remove 1d6 from the pool, then the screen would display "1d20 + 1d6 + 1d4".
I know I might be overexplaining this, but I think it would be faster this way. Instead of scrolling through 3 or 4 other die just to get to the dice that you want, you would just have to press 2 buttons. Trust me, when playing a game like D&D, for example, every little bit of time spent on rolling die counts. However, this would be at the cost of adding more buttons. Your current design has 6 buttons and a power switch. But with a button for every die type, it would have 10 buttons (1d4, 1d6, 1d8, 1d10, 1d12, 1d20, 1d100, plus, minus, roll) and a power switch. I don't think this cost would be that great, and it wouldn't get in the way of the usability of the device.
In addition to that, I think there could be a feature to subtract die from the total roll. For example, if the user selected a d4 then pressed the "-" button, even though they have no d4s in the queue, then the screen would display "-1d4". It would have no effect on it's own, but it would be useful for rolling, for example, "1d20 - 1d4". Maybe you already thought of this and implemented it, but there seems to be no indication of that in the video.
I love that theres a whole history lesson on the first few minutes. Would love to see more extensive research with my content creators.
This is so cool! This was 3 months ago, but it would be so cool to see the files or even a built version for sale!
No clue how viable or easy it would be, but an option to custom input dice sizes, to use like a d7 or a d13 would be a neat concept.
You just showed up on my feed for the first time with this project. This is pretty amazing. I wish I could buy one because I do not have the skills to do what you do.
I would recommend figuring out the ironing settings for your printer and plastic and "iron" the front cover for more smooth surface without those infill and perimeter lines
It would be cool to add a feature that would add any modifiers to your roll
I would love to see this developed into an app. I would definitely pay for this.
1:40 The name wasn't the only thing that changed, a fundamental gameplay aspect was removed. The Landlord's Game had an option for cooperative play, and that was removed in Monopoly.
I love your videos!!!
thank you for watching!!
If you ever wanted to make a v2 the back plate of the case could snap on so that there are no scrubs visible on the back. Love the idea and video.
I would 100% buy this, this is awesome!
an excellent dice companion for discerning individuals!
Thanks man! Appreciate the support as always!!!
1:06 whoa they had a d20 dice back then
I hope your videos keep reaching more subscribers and you become a more successful youtuber😊.
Just wanted to say, I love the small little edits you threw in, like revealing the housing parts. Love this dude, keep it up
Thank you so much for the kind words!!
You should sell these! Looks fantastic.
Love this! I had a similar idea a bit back, but I wanted to incorporate it into a book, so that when you opened it, it rolled the dice on a screen inside. Buy my programming is rudimentary at best so it never got off the ground!
Super cool build! Love the deep dive into board and UI design
This is a great product, I'm sure people would want to buy this. Thanks for the video.
I can just hear the hardcore dice nerds now.
"ITS NOT RANDOM BECAUSE ITS DIGITAL."
Ah, it would be so awesome
Dice Goblin here... Could not care less that is digital I'm looking for the components to build one... No dice Goblin collection is complete without weird dice, got a spinning wheel dice from Kickstarter but need a digital one now ;)
Fair enough, thank you dice goblin for your dicey wisdom
@@splashuwu7501 oh no i have no wisdom to spare just greed... Greed for all kind of dice, electronic, mechanical, square, conical, virtual real... All sorts in the end dice are all that separate my characters from death :D
@@ArtemisEntreri81 fair enough lmao
Personally i would design it with a slightly larger display. Then make it so there is a single external switch/button for power, and swipe to choose dice, shake to roll. It could all fit within the footprint of the screen and look something like a diy ipod nano. Obv thicker and larger than a nano but i would imagine it still wouldnt be too bulky.
the transitions at 8:43 are so clean
The step from banana to truck for favorite 3d objects is wild. I love it
Sick, adding 2 more buttons for + & - to the rolls would complete it. Or better yet, change the tie or side parts into 2 buttons for ver 2.0
Digital Interface for Choosing Enumerators
What a great project!!! woulld be great to add a way to create dice with custom faces for game specific dice.
Dig and speculate. The protective coating is called solder mask, so your solder doesn't stick everywhere.
I did this over a weekend a year ago. The saddest part: i never use it when playing dnd. When in person physical dice are just better, and when playing remotely you have an entire pc or phone to roll dogital dice on.
Missed opportunity (Very minor)
On the back of the case you could have made fitted cutouts for the nuts to sit in, that way its less likely to come loose later on in the future.
Still a very good design IMO!
I think it should also display the last total roll at the bottom or top right of the screen, and personally I would prefer it just outputting random numbers, the way it is now you may be able to fudge your rolls.
It looks like it's running through random numbers so it's not really fudge-able
Everything about this video is amazing!
Thank you!!
Super cool build!! Watching your videos always inspires me to pursue my own hobbies! I'm currently learning C# as a hobby, and this makes me want to go learn more 😂
So sorry to hear that the channel isn't stable enough to support you full time, but I love your attitude about it! I think a lower pressure environment could be a really good thing for the channel and you! Always looking forward to the next video! Keep building!
nothing better than a gameboy style dice rolling handheld. this will revolutionize lunchroom gambling
