Dice Tower with webcam mount & blacklights

thingiverse

This is the culmination of a really fun project. I play D&D online, and wanted a way for my group to see my dice rolls in live-time. By using a camera with adjustable exposure, I can set it to have anything that's not glowing brightly in the frame seem black. Then I use a luma key in OBS studio so that the dark background is removed, letting me roll big, readable dice over the top of my video stream. Parts: Webcam with ¼-20 tripod thread and adjustable manual exposure ¼-20 x ¾ inch bolt 3D printed tower USB UV LED strip lights Matte black PLA makes sure only the dice are bright enough to be visible, 360 degree UV LEDs keep the dice glowing evenly, and beveled interior walls mean the dice are never cocked. The tower is printable in one piece on a standard i3 type printer.
