Plinko Dice Tower With Magnetic Latch and Detachable tray

thingiverse

After using my old dice tower for over 2 years, I started brainstorming new ideas to take it to the next level. Here are some key improvements I made: This new design boasts a print-in-place hinge system that sets it apart from its predecessor. The walls on the tray are intentionally low, ensuring your dice remain easily readable after each roll. During play, you can detach the tray and keep your other dice nearby within easy reach. When it's time to pack up, simply fold the tower down for convenient storage. In this compact state, the two trays allow you to store your dice and minis separately, protecting delicate 3D printed models from damage. Magnets hold everything securely in place, keeping your collection organized. I aimed to give the design a castle-like appearance by incorporating a brick wall created using Tinkercad and a castle door sourced from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:129904">drxenocide</a>. Check out this tower in action on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Pd3fss05K_E This design utilizes 8 small magnets measuring 8x3mm. You can find the exact ones I used here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1000008645137.html After printing, insert the magnets into designated holes in the detachable tray and attached tray, as well as slots in the tower. Make sure to align the polarities before securing them with a bit of Gorilla Glue or a similar adhesive. On July 11th, 2019, I uploaded an updated version without the castle texture.
