Etsy seller MechanicalOddities 3D prints these D6s with gears instead of pips, then finishes them by hand with brass-effect paint.
Dice - 3D printed, Steampunk Style, Bronze Finish (Thanks, Alice)
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

gwailo_joe says:
I thought it was a brownie at first : (
That would have been mechanicalicious…
RobDobbs says:
Nice, but I wonder how truly random handmade dice can be.
Sam Archer says:
Pip like the little black dots that are on a normal D6 (or each little piece of an orange when you take it apart)
Spriggan_Prime says:
What no real copper or brass?! Cool, but no thanks.
Stefan Price says:
I decided to start with 3D printed ones. But I would love to do some metal casting. Not sure how many people would buy them given the weight and cost. I use paint with real metal flake in it though.
hohum says:
Gamers… really like their dice. :) People (well, some people) are willing to buy the expensive, heavy dice from Crystal Caste, etc… I think the sort of people interested would be even more willing to buy such from someone who is more of an artisan type than a corporation type. Assuming you could ensure balance and ideally expand to a full set of dice, I think people would buy. Just my two cents, though.
Stefan Price says:
We are currently working on creating the full set of multisided dice. Thanks for your input! :)
SamSam says:
There are some companies that print with metal, right? I guess they probably don't do brass, and the cost is probably quite significant. Anyway, I think they're quite cool.
Stefan Price says:
There are some ways to print in metal. However, we are currently only creating them with techniques available in our own workshop. We have considered that if our designs are popular and there is interest, we would love to offer them in metal. Feel free to contact us if anyone is interested.
missowch says:
I'm no role-player but fell for the dice. Was going to ask my mum to bring them to Aus when she comes but not worth the hassle for plastic. Give me metal. Balance would be nice but for me mostly ornamental. Do it Stefan.
Stefan Price says:
Message received. We're working on making metal ones.
soylent_plaid says:
My only concern would be balance. The pips on a standard die are created by digging little pits in the surface and then filling with a paint that usually weighs as much as the plastic that was removed. That way everything should be perfectly balanced, and even if they're off it'll be by such a small amount you'd never notice. With dice like this though, they're bound to be weighted towards one side just due to how complicated the surface is.
On the other hand, they look very nice and me wants some!
Stefan Price says:
Technically, you are not incorrect, but the difference in weight between the sides is so slight because the detail of the gears are so thin. The likelihood of the imbalance causing a bias is so statistically small that it is negligible. Would they be allowed in a Vegas casino? NO. Will they look "freakin' awesome" on your game board? YES! The aesthetics win! :)
Ronan Glennon says:
I don't think these are Intended to be used at the craps table
Josh Nelson says:
At first glance, I thought that this was the Pandorica (doctor who)………please make a Pandorica.
Stefan Price says:
That would depend upon one's definition of handmade. The title does say "3D printed". However, to imply that craftsmanship and artistry did not go into the making of this would be premature. Each one was personally handled and prepared by me and the painted finish was executed by myself and the guy who created the original, highly detailed 3D model. We would like to create a very large version that can aptly display the level of meticulousness that went into the computer model. Artistry can be executed in many forms. We like to cover as many as possible.
RobDobbs says:
I think 3d-printed works count as hand made. The carpenter gets a hammer.
hohum says:
I don't know… And this isn't me judging, saying one is superior or anything — I really could care less about the craft used to produce art…
But I think that comparison is a bit of a stretch… The carpenter is controlling that hammer which assembles the nightstand or whatever, pretty directly. The carpenter, being subject to oh-so-many human factors, directly influences every piece he makes being ever-so-slightly different.
While the 3D printer will likely exhibit certain differences, imperfections between printings, those are a result of the 3D printer being imperfect, and not the carpenter.
Again, I don't mention this to shoot down 3D printers, I just think it's an interesting bit of semantics in a world of shifting technique…
Michael Gates says:
Making dice like these balance shouldn't be too hard. Each side is two "layers;" a lower background layer, and the raised gear layer. If the amount of raised area on each side is the same, the dice will balance properly; if the designs are symmetrical along the axes the sides can roll along, that should cope with any "side that makes the die roll to a particular side next" kind of issues.
Dunno if he's actually doing that, I'm just saying that it's within the realm of possibility, i.e. that a person could do it without hiring two dozen mathematicians and a structural engineer.
The thing about these that makes ME sad is that since they're finished with paint, actually, you know, rolling them is bound to make them chip like crazy. Please, DO find somebody to print some up in brass or something!
Stefan Price says:
The paint finish is quite durable. We have been handling them roughly and keeping them in a dice bag together without a single scratch so far. They are sprayed with a sealer coat to help protect the paint finish as well. In the future, as these first were prototypes, we will create them with intrinsic color so that if the surface should become damaged, it will not deteriorate from their appearance. In the mean time, maintenance of the dice is simple and can be done by anyone. Remember also that this is half "thing" and half "artwork". Treat them nice and they'll help you crush your enemies.
Also, yes we had taken into account that variations in thickness of the detail could counteract the balance issue. My degree in Mechanical Engineering requires me to over analyze even a small project like this (OCD). Some measures were taken, but I won't claim its perfect, because ultimately we just wanted to make some fun, cool looking dice for ourselves to game with.
Erik Baldwin says:
Any chance we'll get a 20 sided die in the near future?
Those are EPIC btw. Now if only there was a steam-punk set of cards for playing Catan.
Stefan Price says:
I have summoned the master torturer and ordered him to crack the whip on the computer slave and demand he conjure another die with his arcane magic! Yes, 20 sided coming soon.
SamSam says:
Seems to me that there's no reason one couldn't make their own personal steampunk adaptation of catan.
Farming for brass, mining for leather, trading for airships, that kind of thing….
Stefan Price says:
SamSam, I have two words to say to you: Brilliant and Yoink!
To everyone else, I have this idea for a new item. ;) lol
deraja says:
It resembles the cubes that the wizard (in Trine) conjures :)

Mobile eCommerce Predicted to Reach $25 Billion in 2013 (Source: QR Code Press, 2013)
The future of marketing is ecommerce – mobile ecommerce in particular. In the United States alone, comScore reported that mobile commerce $10 billion sales in the first half of 2013 and is predicted to exceed $25 later this year.
Andrew Lipsman, VP of Industry Analysis for comScore stated that mobile commerce is now accounting for 1 in every $10 in online purchase.
The data showed that 63% of mobile commerce sales originated from smartphones, with the remaining 37% occurring through tablets. However, when looking at the individual device user, the average spending was only $47.17 over smartphones, with a notably higher $56.87 over tablets.
Mobile Subscribers Projected to Grow by 3.9 Billion in 2017
In the Mobile Economy 2013 report by ATKearney, it indicates that almost half of the human population using mobile communications, a billion mobile subscribers were added in the last 4 years making a total of 3.2 billion users.
Mobile Subscribers Worldwide Expected to Grow by 3.9 Billion in 2017 (Source: ATKearney, 2013)
By 2015, 65% of the World's Mobile Users Are in Asia Pacific
Emerging markets in the Asia Pacific are expected to add nearly half of the new connections of 1.4 billion growth between now and 2017. According to Portio Research report, the percentage contribution of the Asia Pacific region to the worldwide mobile subscriber base will increase from 51.3 percent at end-2012 to 54.3 percent at end-2016 making up half the population of the mobile users worldwide.
Asia accounts for two-thirds of global mobile revenue growth (Source: Mobile World Live, 2013)
It is estimated that the total number of global mobile subscribers will reach approximately 7 billion by 2015 and the proportion of Asia is expected to be 65% of the total, forming the most significant region among the world mobile markets.
The top four markets in the region combined (China, Japan, India and South Korea) account for 66% of Asia's population, 60% of Asia's mobile connections and over 70% of regional mobile income.
What Marketers Need to Focus On: Mobile Enhances the Traditional Brand Experience
Aside from having a mobile optimized website that's fit for viewing and shopping for mobile users, it's very important for marketers to align both online and offline marketing campaigns and provide smooth experience for its users. It means that integrated campaigns for both in-store and online experiences should not only coincide but it's important that they support each initiatives with the mobile and social experiences at its core.
In the Luxury Marketing Outlook 2013, brands are urged to take cross-channel approach to provide consumers with experience that intertwine the in-store, digital and mobile channels to cater to the customers purchase needs with mobile as the focus for optimization. Direct mails, email marketing, organizing branded events and allowing consumers to share their stories, offering loyalty programs and real-time marketing will help brands to not only capitalize on the the various platforms available to work seamlessly but also allow more room for creativity and provide better and connected experiences for the consumers.
Here are some creative examples of integrated and interactive campaigns will definitely win consumers,

BBB Business Reviews may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.
BBB Accreditation
World Wide Consultant Group is not BBB Accredited.
Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation.
To be accredited by BBB, a business must apply for accreditation and BBB must determine that the business meets BBB accreditation standards, which include a commitment to make a good faith effort to resolve any consumer complaints. BBB Accredited Businesses must pay a fee for accreditation review/monitoring and for support of BBB services to the public.
Reason for Rating
BBB rating is based on 16 factors. Get the details about the factors considered.
Factors that lowered World Wide Consultant Group's rating include:
- BBB concerns with the industry in which this business operates.
- BBB does not have sufficient information to determine how long this business has been operating.
- BBB does not have sufficient background information on this business.
The BBB would like to alert consumers that this entity is an advance fee lender and is requesting advance fees for loans- an activity that is both illegal as well as fraudulent in nature. This is done with the intent of stealing money from consumers in the form of advance payments for a non-existent loan. Consumers allege that they have been asked to wire upfront fees for loans to World Wide Consultant Group, with the company promising to wire their loan money into their accounts within 48 hours.
The BBB would like to alert consumers that per the Federal Trade Commission and the Illinois Attorney General, it is against the law for any lender to ask consumers for advance payments on loans.
Common signs of advance fee fraud:
- lender asks for premium, insurance, or collateral payments, frequently saying that this is due to consumer having low credit score
- lender asks for the payment to be wired via Western Union or Money Gram to locations in Canada
- lender asks for additional payments, saying that loan is risky because of consumer's financial history or private borrower's request
If you have been victimized by this entity, please contact the IC3 -the Internet Crime Complaint Center- at www.ic3.gov, as well as Phonebusters -the Canadian Anti-Fraud Center- at www.phonebusters.com

Dear friends & industry colleague:
As you know, the policy discussion in Washington regarding housing finance reform has gained significant momentum in recent months, with action underway in both the U.S. House and Senate on comprehensive bills – and a much higher level of engagement by the Obama administration. Needless to say, the results of this debate will have profound implications for community lenders, our business models, and our customers for years to come. I'm reminded of the old expression: if you're not at the table, you're likely on the menu.
Despite attempts by some groups to promote industry divisions in the press, as Vice-Chairman of the MBA, and as a Independent mortgage banker, I want to assure you that the association is not only firmly at the table on behalf of small & midsize lenders, but is leading the policy making debate in Washington to fight for parity in every area from Loan Officer Licensing to level guarantee fees. Opinions on individual lobbying strategies and tactics will always vary, but I believe it's incumbent on a major player like the MBA to do much more than just say "no." That's why we've been in open dialogue and constant communication with key policymakers in the White House and the Congress on GSE reform (e.g., Hensarling, Waters, Johnson, Crapo, Corker, Warner, and many other key Reps/Senators) providing technical support and advocating our core principles, including the need for more private first loss capital – but with an explicit, well-defined federal guarantee, and the need to preserve viable access to the federally backed secondary market for community lenders through provisions that allow for single loan execution and a cash window.
MBA has emphasized these concerns consistently, both publicly through Dave Stevens' congressional testimony, letters to the Hill, in the press, and privately in numerous and ongoing meetings with key stakeholders. Rest assured we'll continue to do so as the GSE debate unfolds throughout this year and next -- it'll be a marathon, not a sprint. If you have any questions or concerns about MBA's positioning, feel free to drop me a note or give me a call.
Regards, Bill

I hear you.. just look at the webmaster forum and count the number of pleas which go unanswered (or with 1 unhelpful reply). Are we really to believe that google could not afford to pay a dozen people more to staff the forum - that they must rely on volunteers?
The problem really is that we don't have healthy competition in the search ecosystem. If there were say 10 equal sources of search traffic, a business could sustain a large drop from any one of them.
I'm in the same situation: complete google traffic halt, no GWT notification,no crawl errors etc, no help from the forum -no income, and no recourse.
Last time, it turned out to be completely my code bug - but it took me weeks to get help via the forum; those were very costly weeks I spent thinking I was accused (according to google) of some unspeakable spam crime.
>So it's a bit unclear to me what I can do now, if anything.
The only constructive thing I can think of to do is maybe webmasters could start an online petition to send to our reps in congress, asking for regulation of search co biz practices.. the politicos right now seem clueless about how search works; they're talking about regulating the alg itself lol..

Excellent place and I loved the location, quiet but near center of town and action. Roosters were not a problem for us. Most of the staff were excellent, very nice and very helpful (with the exception of two individuals, try not to run into them). There is continental breakfast. Rooms of same price vary in interior, but ours was excellent. The place to swim is Zachary Taylor Park. Ride the Conch Train on your first day to find out what's around. I had excellent time and would definitely stay at Lighthouse Court again.

Intel touts high-speed optical cable interface, Light Peak
Even in its first generation it's expected to transfer at about 10 gigabits per second, or two times faster than USB 3.0. Intel added that Light Peak's throughput has "the potential ability" to increase to 100Gbps in the next ten years, but that even at 10Gbps, "a user could transfer a full-length Blu-ray movie in less than 30 seconds."
The optical nature also allows for smaller connectors and thinner, more flexible cables than currently possible that could span up to an impressive 100 meters. To put this into perspective, USB 2.0 is limited to just five meters of cable, without extenders, whilst USB 3.0 is restricted to three. Copper wires may still come bundled with the optical fiber so Light Peak can be used to power devices plugged into the PC.
The firm says compatible devices could be ready to ship as early as next year and that it is currently working with the industry to settle on a standard -- but of course that is easier said than done, even for Intel.
User Comments: 24
Got something to say? Post a comment-
Does this sound easy to repair?
All this speed sounds great. Unfortunately, there are no storage devices in the works that are even remotely close to handling it. 10GPs? Current SSD technology (and at outrageous prices) can only handle 200MBs.
One side needs to get caught up to the other.
First things first though, at least there is a much faster connection on the horizon.
This could replace bulky monitor cables with a single thin and light cable. Plus you can send audio to your monitor if it has speakers, and data to USB ports on a monitor, with one single cable.
You make a great point. Even if the devices were upgraded, the SATA connection is 3gb/s, thats a long stretch from the 200mb/s SSD's or even platter drives.
Its nice to know that this technology is being developed, but it will take time to really see a need for it.
Drives dont really need to catch up at all for this to be worthwhile. Ideally we would have a universal royalty-free interconnect with greater speed that could possibly be realised, and the hassle of new standards and different interfaces would be solved permanently.
It sounds good however I think it may be awhile before something like this really takes off. 1) a standard needs to be created, 2) Product vendors then need to add this feature, 3) as mentioned by TomSEA, what then becomes the weakest link? Other equipment needs to catch up, 4) the cost of all this needs to be competitive. I suppose as TV, DVD, NAS, PC's etc become connected (not just like today) but really use one standard with one cable so you can watch a HD movie in another room from the source then this could take off.
StaffDoes this sound easy to repair?
For anyone who actually repairs USB cables: www.monoprice.com.
If you're talking about repairing the USB port on electronics, I imagine it isn't much different than a 2.0 port: Nab a replacement USB 3.0 port, remove the old one, solder it on.
Maybe you meant something else or have more information beyond this article?
My reading comprehension fails.
How about using this technology on internet service? cause its already happening in Asia

No, the SATA-II connection is 3 gigabits, which equals 375 megabytes
With SATA protocol overhead the limit is ca 260MB/sec, which most good SSD drives have already hit;
(Look at performance for 2MB sequential reads)
"Nobody will ever need more than 640K RAM!" - Bill Gates, 1981
Bill Gates was right, of course. But isn't it fun to have more?
Yes if most certainly is.

....on a lighter note, Guest once said.." why no!...I cant tell the difference from my *** and a hole in the ground"
"Nobody will ever need more than 640K RAM!" - Bill Gates, 1981He probably still doesn't! He has "people" to use the additional RAM for him[link]To which I might add, (for "guest's" benefit), and nobody should have the power to force you into even attempting to make that distinction either!

Engadget had an article linking this with Apple and Intel, and hinted that by mid next year Apple computers could be using this for something.

I guess my previous experience with fiber cables is clouding my understanding here, but how the hell can a fiber cable be more flexible? You can't (easily) put a tight 90 degree bend in fiber cable and still have it work well, as tight bends reduce the effective distance of fiber cables dramatically. If you go thinner (as the author suggests is possible) you run even greater risk of the optical fiber being damaged somewhere in the line, leading to complete failure of the cable. And, from my experiences, fiber cable was always more (often MUCH more) than standard copper cable... Along with the added cost and complexity required in getting proper end splices for cable connectors...
But, on the plus side, fiber is immune to electrical noise and interference, which is probably why such ridiculous transfer speeds can be made with tiny thin cables - no need for insulation, twisting pairs, etc.
That's stupid. Fiber is glass and cannot be bent more than a few degrees. Intel is going to have many upset customers when they have to return a broken cable within a week of using it. The fact of the matter is...it is completely possible to network your entire building with fiber optic cables at this point in time. The only problem is that fiber breaks too easily and could cause many problems in an area that is not as controlled as say, a big business or government facilities which may use fiber optics. In many cases if someone is even using fiber optic cables then the cable will be going from switch to switch and that is it. I don't see this being ground breaking technology because it is way too fragile for the normal user to handle.
It just occurred to me fibre has one main disadvantage, 'BENDS'. How will implementation of this technology deal with this. I just hope there's been some provision to deal with this or it might just end up a flop.
Optical tape for repairs? lol hmm.... yes, and all the circuitry on motherboards, videocards, soundcards, and well.. all circuit boards be replaced with fiber optics. We will be transferring speed as fast as light. Isnt that the fastest we could possibly transfer data? hmm.. joke. Or is it? O.o
It saves copper, so win!
less cables beats a handful of cables but the deal breaker here is cost.
I've seen the prototype and i think is the way to go....certainly better than the USB 3

Happy Independence Day everyone. Even though Chris Carpenter has had them cancelled throughout the Midwest, fearing possible smoke drift into Busch Stadium, there may still be fireworks tonight. This game is positively off the Fervor Chart. Johnny Cueto makes his first start in St. Louis since The Kick and Carpenter, who may or may not have brought in a child psychologist specializing Explanations for tonight's game, just happens to be sharing the mound.
It sounds weird to say I'm relieved to see the Cardinals, but I think it's true. With inter-league play safely in the rear-view, I'm ready to get back to seeing NL Central teams on a regular basis. While the Reds went an ugly 6-12 against the AL, they're 24-14 against NL Central teams. Justin correctly labeled the upcoming 10-game stretch against Division co-leaders St. Louis and Milwaukee (4 vs. MIL and 6 vs. STL) "huge." The Reds are still only an improbable 2 games back in the Central. Handling the Cards and Brewers like they have so far in 2011 could easily land the Reds back in first.
Also, what do we think about Fred Lewis as semi-regular lead-off hitter? He's currently getting on base at a .364 clip, which he's capable of sustaining if shielded from lefties (career OBP of .357 vs. RHP). Chris Heisey has the advantage in defense and power, but Lewis gives the Reds a tantalizing option to hit in front of BP and Votto against righties. The three-headed left-fielder is working pretty OK right now, though it may pay diminishing returns as the season wears on.

Everything you need to understand or teach Facing Mount Kenya; the Tribal Life of Gikuyu by Jomo Kenyatta.
Facing Mount Kenya: The Tribal Life of Gikuyu by Jomo Kenyatta is an anthropological, psychological, social, economical and religious study of the African people living in Gikuyu, Kenya. Told from an African standpoint, the book shows both the rich culture of the Gikuyu people, as well as the dangers of European influence over a population of people whose entire lives are based on social customs and religious ideas.
The author, Kenyatta, is a highly respected anthropologist who also happens to be the grandson of a medicine man of the Gikuyu. As a member of the Gikuyu society, Kenyatta is able to accurately describe and explain the traditions and customs of the tribe without European bias and misunderstanding. He is able to present a complete account of tribal life, while at the same time analyzing the effects of new European rule over the Gikuyu and over their lands.
Facing Mount Kenya; the Tribal Life of Gikuyu Lesson Plans contain 114 pages of teaching material, including:

Why US Airways Wants a Deal with American
As for the logistics of a pilot seniority integration, which some see as a potential impediment to a merger given the failure to integrate pilot groups at US Airways, Ray said USAPA was ready in 2008 to act to enable a merger with United.
"We have a great deal of respect and worked closely for years with the Allied Pilots Association," which represents American pilots, Ray said. "The most complicating thing we see is fact that Doug Parker hasn't finished the merger with America West, but I think a fair contract for all, pilots, at both USAPA and APA, could enable a deal."

Is Snow Leopard Business Ready?
What can Snow Leopard do for your business?
While Microsoft (MS) and their faithful generally regard Apple's Snow Leopard operating system as a purely home/small-business niche OS, there is increasing evidence that Apple is starting to target the business and enterprise computing environment as well. In their latest release, Apple has included many features that make it ready for mainstream business use. So what are these features?
Let us start with the most notable enterprise feature: first-class MS Exchange support. This feature makes it arguably more enterprise-ready than MS Windows 7 itself! It also contains Cisco VPN connectivity support built right in. Now, there is no need for an additional VPN client to connect securely to one of the most popular corporate VPN solutions around.
Snow Leopard (SL) also features an Airport menu icon indicating signal quality/strength. This will allow business travelers to select the best and strongest possible wireless connection with a simple, single mouse click. SL also features read only HFS+ files system support from Boot Camp. This means that users who use Apple's Boot Camp technology to run Windows on their Mac can now access all files from the Mac partition while running Windows.
SL also has received a very nice boost in print support features. It can automatically find nearby printers, and will automatically update all your printer drivers. This will give corporate users more flexibility, while also reducing the IT overhead required to administer them. One of the more glamourous features that corporate users will appreciate is making annotations right in Preview. This means that PDF files can be annotated with comments, links, highlighting, strikethrough text, shapes, text, and arrows, all from within Preview.
One of the best reasons that Snow Leopard is now enterprise ready is Apple's publicly stated view on updates. Instead of heralding this release as a totally new OS, they smartly described it as an incremental update and refinement to an already solid OS. Corporate IT departments do not want to even consider having to deploy a new OS company wide every 18 months. This incremental $29 "update", on the other hand, makes it an easier to swallow pill for IT decision makers. Certainly it is much easier to consider than the transition from Windows XP to Windows Vista, or even from Windows Vista to Windows 7.
Finally, with lowering hardware prices, a tremendous number of strictly under-the-hood improvements, and the full compliment of MS Office products available (in addition to Apple's beautifully engineered office suite), you may not miss your Windows PC as much as you may think. So, is your organization next? Why not ask your IT department what their near term technology migration plans are, and see if Apple is included.
