Spiral Staircase Dice Tower

thingiverse

Two separate tower sizes are available: one for standard polyhedral dice and another for mini dice or use as a prop. The smaller tower took exactly five hours to print on my Robo 3D at nearly 100% infill, while the larger tower required twenty percent infill and ten hours of printing time. I was pleasantly surprised by how few issues the full-sized print had, considering it approaches the maximum vertical axis print height for my printer. The low infill makes the tower surprisingly light, having already withstood several gaming sessions worth of dice throws.
