Are your D20s just lying around in a dice tray or a box in a cupboard? What a wasted opportunity! Put those dice to work as an army of snails!

3 different designs to choose from depending on if you want to add your own eyes and antennae or just have a fully 3D printed model.

Supplies

Aside from the 3D printer to make the bodies, you'll need stick on gems and paperclips to make the eyes and ears, plus some superglue to stick them in. Suggested tools are pliers, snips and a pin drill to make the little antennae holes.

Print the Snail Bodies

Attached to this step are the stl files for the 3 different kinds of snail. They print without supports and only take 20-30 minutes each.

Adding Eyes and Antennae

If you are adding your own eyes and antennae, follow these instructions.

Cut the paperclips into small sections using the snips then use the pliers to bend the ends into a curl.

Drill 2 tiny holes in the top of the models head and stick in the paperclip bits with a dab of superglue.

Stick on the gems for eyes.

Just Add Dice
