I find that printing these dominoes between 100-130% scale looks best, if they are printed at the default size they are a little small. Printed with 30% infill for appearance quality, ensuring no strange warping occurs across the top layer. I also printed at ".5" layer height for appearance sake, but this is not necessary. Printing at "1" layer height creates an optimal level of quality for the number bumps. Printing at "2" layer height may cause the number bumps to easily get broken off. Print at 100% speed and at 210 degrees Celsius. | |||

This OSAT is appropriate for any locale that has access to a 3-D printer and needs additional learning materials for their curriculum. This is appropriate both for and as a game to teach young children between the ages of 4-9 how to follow rules, how to recognize and apply knowledge of numbers, and how to critically think.
