Parametric Dice Tower

thingiverse

I completely rewrote and cleaned up this code to make it fully customizable. This default size is a great balance between filament usage, print time, and accommodating a wide range of dice, including Dungeons and Dragons dice. This fantastic dice tower is perfect for any game with an attack-defense mechanic, such as Imperial Assault, Star Wars X-Wing, or Risk. WARNING: I've never printed this in one piece with both the tower and trays together because I use ABS. In theory, you could print it all at once, but I mostly just print a tower and two trays separately, using supports on the trays. The tower doesn't require any supports. You can customize these primary variables: ramp_width: This defines everything. The overall size of the dice tower is derived from this, and this directly represents the width of the dice channels. level_spacer: When using small ramp_widths (below 30mm), this adds a vertical offset between ramp layers, preventing dice from getting stuck when changing direction. funnel_height: This determines the height of the drop funnel. Additionally, modify these variables: slope: If you want to make the tower taller. number_turns: This lets you add more turns to the tower. TRAY LOGOS You can also add tray logos. To do this, create a SVG file from your logo image using an online JPG to SVG converter. Then, import the SVG file into Autodesk 123D or OpenSCAD and extrude it into an STL. Save the file. There are two variables: l_stl = ""; r_stl = ""; Set these to the name of your logo files. You can adjust the size of these logos using (use l_ for left): r_stl_scale = [0.5, 0.5, 0.5]; // Adjust the ratio scale of the STL (0.5=half) r_stl_offset = [1, 1, 1]; // Move the STL around r_stl_rotation = [0,0,90]; // Rotate the STL if needed
