Hello there, I am here just to nag myself. I really wanted a Octagonal d4 dice and seems this type of dice is not manufactured now. a normal octagonal dice also works if you thing which 5 or upper numbers will be counted as -4 so 5 is 1, 6 is 2 and so on. but my self think, you have a d printer so, make yourself.

Opened my FreeCAD and manually created a Octagonal dice, put the numbers and using orcaslicer send it to my printer. well the result is flawless, but after ONLY 3 HOURS this is the result:

not to me, print in solid color and paint the numbers

I just did a skeleton multicolor. If I did the entire model in multicolor it was like 600 changes and 28hrs. So I printed in 4 colors the base gray, shoes red, pants and half the body black the rest white. 4 color changes and 9hrs or so. Then painted the rest with black and red, cleared over all of it. If I could paint you would not know that it was painted.
