I believe a normal magic 8-ball has raised letters so they press against the top and push all the colored liquid aside. So a normal d20 with recessed numbers probably doesn’t work as well.
When I saw this posted yesterday, I started down a rabbit hole of figuring out how to make a magic d20 like that, but I couldn’t find any stls or 3D models of a d20 with raised numbers, since that wouldn’t make any sense for 99.9% of uses.
I found this video of someone making their own custom magic 8-ball with links to stl files with raised letters. Someone who knows how to create the files for a 3D printer could probably easily extrude the numbers on the faces, but that person isn’t me
Okay, so I did this a long time ago and my main issue is, it’s pretty fucking hard to read the dice. Any suggestions on painting it?

If it’s the same kind of plastic as mini figs, games workshop or knockoff washes should work
Get a stamp pad and lightly press the letters onto it?
