Just rotate the base between the magnetically locked open and closed positions to open the dice capsules. The magnetic locks ensure it won't open by accident.</p><p>To print:<br>•&nbsp;Check your printer can achieve good accuracy. I recommend the use of this over/under extrusion test - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1622868<br>•&nbsp;Print eight capsules with a small layer thickness and with good cooling. There's some large overhangs, but nothing that should need support. I use 0.15 and slow the print down for the overhangs to allow for adequate cooling.<br>•&nbsp;The lid, middle and base sections should be easy prints. They are already oriented for printing.</p><p>To assemble:<br>•&nbsp;Remove the "wings" from the capsules and make sure the base of each capsule is smooth so that it can rotate easily. Sidecutters and a small file work well here, although you can also just tear off the bottom few layers of the print.<br>• Glue magnets into the middle and base parts. Make sure they are aligned to attract, rather than repel.<br>• Place the capsules in the lid<br>• Align the middle with the lid using the notches and glue into place. A drop of glue on each of the 4 alignment nubs works well. Make sure the middle and lid are well secured before the next step of the magnets may break the glue bond.<br>• Align all the capsules the same direction. I usually align them open as it's easiest to see they are all facing the same way.<br>• Align the lid and base together with the notches. Double check the capsule alignment, and push the lid and base together. They should click together.<br><br>If you want to buy me a coffee, you can also purchase the STLs on Etsy or Cults.</p>
