we are going to need white acrylic for the materials. For tools, we will need a laser cutter and a computer, and maker case website, and a coral vector also. we will also need to use glowforge to operate the laser cutter.

go to https://app.corelvector.com/

then set with height to inches and 12x12.

after exporting your box from the maker case then you can add Eclipse until you have something the same as dice on each one.

then once you have all ur eclipse you can save ur final dice and export it as a SVG.

once cut out glue anything heavy to the number 1,2,3 only.

once you do that put all your dice together they should just go into place.

There you go finally you have some weighted rigged dice to get a bigger chance of landing of 4,5,6 the winning numbers
