Dice - Dual Colour - No paint required

Yes, there are plenty of die models available. And to be honest a blind monkey could probably model a decent die. It's a square with holes in it.

What I did find though is that none of them were able to print with separate dot colours without doing the wait 3 hours and use 3 times the filament in poop thing. After much trial and even more error I think I've got a half decent solution.

This is a basic 6 sided die (expertly modeled by my pet monkey). It uses pucks to insert into the holes. This way there's little waste or poop. This requires manual insertion of the pucks. This is a bit fiddly but the payoff is worth while (IMO).

The catch: The laws of physics, entropy and chaos mean not all holes are created equal. A puck that fits in one hole may not fit the next. See below for assembly instructions.

If assembly isn't your thing and you need something quick, try the Dice - Single Colour version 

Features

• Dice that look and function like dice. No fake renders, no paint, no glue.
• Can print in basic PLA with a 0.4 nozzle
• No supports required
• No paint required
• No glue required
• Low waste, minimal poop

Printing/Assembly Instructions

• Each hole needs to be filled with a puck.
• Pucks are arranged in groups on the plate from smallest on the left to largest on the right. The small groups are extra sizes if needed.
• Use fingers to pinch pucks off plate and keep sizes together. Do not use scraper or you'll send projectile pucks across the room (ask me how I know)
• Most holes should fit the medium pucks. This is the largest group with enough pucks for a complete die and two lost projectiles
• Ideally pucks can be pushed in with finger. As long as there's some resistance it tends to stay in
• Can use the end of a plastic tool to gently hammer in puck if it is resisting. Don't hammer too hard or the puck might fly into your eye (Don't ask me how I know. It didn't hurt. Wear eye protection)
• If the puck falls in without resistance it's too loose. Flip it around and insert again. The bottom side of puck is slightly thicker and can be enough to have it stick
• If puck still falls in without resistance, use a larger size puck
• If puck won't go in at all, use a smaller size

The sizes required will likely vary between materials and printers. Please share your experience to help tune the model to what works.
