Helical Box for Miniatures

thingiverse

I made this box as a means to carry dice and miniatures in a backpack etc. It has 6 trays that swing out when the whole assembly is twisted, and each can hold most 28mm miniatures or 3-4 dice. An entire set of gaming dice can be put in the center space as well with a little wiggling. When printed, the assembly works very easily, but with proper tension on the center bolt, I've found that the trays stay shut without any additional fasteners. A big rubber band works if you need any further securing, but I don't think you will need it. I have included two versions of the cam plate to suit the hands of the person using the box, and I've also discovered that the larger cam ring works as a rolling space in a pinch.
