Dice Tower

thingiverse

This is a tower designed to allow dice to be rolled quickly and consistently. Several dice can be dropped in the funnel at the top, and will then hit the 45 degree angle in the base causing them to roll into the basin. This makes playing board games where rolling dice is a common occurrence much easier, because it eliminates almost all errant dice rolls (falls off the table or otherwise interferes with the playing area) and it takes up considerably less space than using an empty box for the same purpose. The basin is designed to be just barely tall enough to contain the dice, both to reduce print times and to make it easier to read the dice once rolled. The latter can be annoying when using an empty box, and I've confirmed thru testing that up to a half dozen dice can be rolled simultaneously with this height, while still being viewable to all players.
