Dice Tower and Organizer (Plinko Style)

prusaprinters

<p>A plinko style dice tower designed for d&amp;d. It's open faced so you can see the action, but the dice won't fall out of the angled pegs.</p> <p>See how it works here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI64v1gKJUo">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI64v1gKJUo</a></p> <p>During play it assembles to provide:</p> <ul> <li>the dice tower</li> <li>a tray for dice to roll into</li> <li>a platform for frequently used dice and minis</li> <li>a pencil holder</li> <li>a small storage pocket</li> <li>additional space for other dice.<br/> After play, it packs up into a portable little box that can store pencils, dice, and minis.</li> </ul> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.2mm</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p><strong>*3/11/17 update:</strong> I reprinted organizer.stl with support (just touching the build plate, not everywhere). The depressions on the top came out a lot nicer. In Cura 2.4 I used support type "lines" and set the Z distance to 0.15.*</p> <p>All STLs are oriented the way they should be printed. No supports are needed if printed this way. For the dice tower, I used a 1.2mm shell and 30% infill to make sure the pegs were tough.</p> <p>The shell for the organizer and case was 0.8mm. These parts can also be printed with a lower infill. The organizer piece does involve a good amount of bridging, but it should still turn out ok. The indentations for holding dice up top came out a little rough for me, but they work fine.</p> <p>Notes:</p> <ul> <li>The pegs on my first prototype were brittle. Besides beefing up the design a bit, printing a temperature tower to find what temperature gave me the best layer strength helped a lot. I used <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:915435">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:915435</a> and then broke it to test strength.</li> <li>If your steps/mm are not properly set for all three axes, the pieces may not fit together well.
