Looking into welding a hollow steel d20 dice aka icosahedron.
There are three factors that are dependent on the final result:
- thickness of the steel sheet metal,
- length of the equilateral triangle, and
- diameter as twice the circumradius.
Looked at sheet metal thickness of 2-5 mm and triangle length of 75-200 mm where the end resulting weight is 0.78-13.9 kg without the reduction/addition of welding and using steel density of 0.008 g/mm^3. The diameter respected to the triangle length is 143-380 mm.
Considering that the limiting factor is the depth of rucks which will be mainly used to transport the dice. Thus, will need to look into what the average ruck depth is and based off of the value, make the first prototype.
