<p>First, English is not my native language!</p><p>Some parts fits very tight together and <strong>should be</strong> very tight. Some parts can be difficult to assemble. Some force may be required. If a part breaks, fret not, because you got a 3d printer.</p><p>Printed with Prusament PLA Orange and Prusament Lipstick Red (I have not tried PETG)</p><p>The orange one was printed on MK3S and the red one on the MINI.</p><p>Also, for the orange one I printed all small parts separately but for the red one I printed all the small parts in one print.</p><p>I had some issues with the red small parts. It might be better to print the parts separately.</p><p>Also, some holes are made sideways instead of bottom to top, but this is a minor issue.</p><p>I have not used any glue, but you could glue the lower and upper stand together.</p><p>Also you could use a drop of glue for the upper sticks in the tipper stand though I haven't.</p><p>(To print dice, take a look at https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/71570-die-tarning)</p><p>Now, this is a toy, you have to hold when you crank.</p><p>The container can be difficult to attach to the tipper stand. You have to bend a bit but with some patience it should work.</p><p>And Yes I have used (too) many hours (of my vacation) in this project, though I haven't counted, but have had much fun :-)</p><p>If you have any issues with the parts please let me know.</p><h3><strong>Assembly</strong></h3><h3><strong>#1</strong></h3><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/74647/rich_content/b1bae633-4dd7-4680-a373-4ec3a6dc2548/standlower.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22995c4a43-3a72-43c3-8469-746804fe276c%22%2C%22w%22%3A1051%2C%22h%22%3A547%7D"></figure><h3>#2</h3><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/74647/rich_content/06f71459-bcd5-479f-9f88-5a09d1e607f7/standupper.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%229090361b-a06d-49e5-a5c0-d31f3485ca6a%22%2C%22w%22%3A815%2C%22h%22%3A546%7D"></figure><p>#2 the plugs can be somewhat hard to fit into place, use a tool to press.
