Information

      This dice is where geek culture meets game night. Instead of traditional dots, each face is engraved with the binary representation of the numbers 1 through 6. That means when you roll, you’re not just getting a result – you’re also practicing how to read numbers in base 2.

To make sure nobody gets lost in translation, we’ve added a small 0b marker at the beginning of every code. This is the same prefix programmers use in many coding languages to indicate a binary number. By following the 0b, you’ll always know which direction to read the sequence, ensuring that your dice stays consistent and unambiguous.

The result is both playful and educational: a fully functional dice that can be used in any board game, while also doubling as a clever way to introduce binary numbers to friends, kids, or anyone curious about how computers count. Whether you’re a programmer, a gamer, or just a fan of nerdy gadgets, this dice is a fun conversation starter and a unique twist on a timeless game accessory.
    

Instruction

1

Step1: Prepare your dice

Use a blank wooden dice as the base. Sand it lightly if necessary to ensure a smooth engraving surface.

2

Step2: Load the design file

Open the binary engraving template in your laser software.

3

Step3: Test the Parameters

Check if the parameters fit the wood your dice is made of.

Step4: Understand the binary layout

  • The prefix 0b is engraved at the start of each sequence.
  • Always read the digits from the side where the 0b appears – this ensures the binary code is oriented correctly.
  1. 0b001 - 1
  2. 0b010 - 2
  3. 0b011 - 3
  4. 0b100 - 4
  5. 0b101 - 5
  6. 0b110 - 6

Step5: Engrave the dice

Make sure to engrave the correct layout. The 6 is oposite of the 1, the 3 oposite of the 4 and so on.

Step6: Finish

Optionally, add a coat of clear finish or wax to protect the engravings and give the dice a polished look.
