🖨️ Printing Details
- Material: PLA
- Nozzle: 0.4 mm
- Designed for: AMS (tested on my H2S)

REQUESTED: SOME PEOPLE ASKED COMPATIBILITY FOR SMALLER PRINTERS= I UPLOADED 3 NEW PROFILES
For people with older/smaller print beds please choose a resized model 90-92% resized models are compatible with smaller printers!
I cannot guarantee the hole for the usb wire will be big enough but you can easily file this a bit to make it bigger. :-)

🔧 Print & Assembly Notes
- Supports are placed where needed for a clean finish
(No supports inside the dice or meeple – important if you change settings)
- PLA works great; I used translucent turquoise PLA for the meeple
- LED setup:
- I used a ~1 m USB LED strip
- Positioned in 3 runs and fixed with a hot glue gun
- Extra LEDs are pushed into the meeple and dice
- Internal bridge keeps the wire neatly in place

🎲 Print Profile Options
- Black dice eyes version
- White dice eyes version (shorter print, paint the eyes yourself)
⏱️ ±5 hours less printing time on my H2S
