Plinko Dice Tower With Magnetic Latch and Detachable tray

After using my old dice tower for more than 2 years, I got some great ideas for making it even better. This new one boasts an innovative print-in-place hinge design that's sure to impress. The low walls on the tray ensure your dice are easy to read after a roll every time. During gameplay, simply use the detachable tray to keep your other dice within arm's reach. When it's time to head home, just fold the tower down and you're done. When folded up, the two trays provide ample space to store your dice and minis separately - perfect for delicate 3D printed minis that need extra care. Magnets hold everything securely in place, keeping your dice tower tidy and organized. I designed it to look like a castle with a brick wall created using Tinkercad and a castle door made by drxenocide. Check out the video to see it in action: https://youtu.be/Pd3fss05K_E This project uses 8 tiny magnets, measuring just 8x3mm each. You can find similar ones on Aliexpress at this link: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1000008645137.html After printing, simply insert the magnets into 4 holes in the detachable tray, 2 holes in the attached tray, and 2 slots in the tower. Make sure to get the polarities lined up before you push them into place so everything attaches correctly. A bit of Gorilla Glue or a similar adhesive will help keep them secure. On July 11th, 2019, I uploaded an updated version without the castle texture for those who prefer a more minimalist look.
