Ball Bearing 6-Sided Die


Six sided die with ball bearings (1-6) on each side. With a .25mm clearance around the balls they should all move freely. I also made a slightly smaller version, by request, but I couldn't make it much smaller without getting a little too close to the minimum space needed for moving parts. They're wedged in there pretty tight so you'll need to take some time and break them loose. I recommend putting it in the freezer for a few hours. That loosened mine up. There's something strangely relaxing about rolling the bearings around and around in their tracks.
