Added a few variants on the base including a wall to stop the dice rolling under the stairs and a longer (20mm) version of the base so that there's a bit more room inside the box.

I've uploaded an STL and STP file of a blank lid incase anyone wants to get creative and add their own patterns.
So this is my latest 3D printed dice box/ tower design. The box itself is 110x120x30mm so relatively compact but plenty big enough to fit the dice tower mechanism and a full set off dice (maybe even a miniature if the base isn’t bigger than 25mm square). The dice tower itself stands at 100mm tall and is made up of 20 individual step pieces that rotate around a centre spindle. The design is purely 3D printed with no need to glue any components together (although some of the retaining pins would benefit from a bit of glue). The push-fit tolerances are all a little tight, so it took some sanding to get everything sliding and spinning correctly.
This is still a work in progress so some of…

Here's my take on a dice tower. I really liked the look of all those medieval towers, but also wanted to be able to watch the dice going down. So I designed my own.
This design uses a piece from a plastic soda bottle for the outer wall, diameter 87mm - length 170mm with a straight wall.  I used a Dr.Pepper 1,5L bottle. To get the opening for the door, you can place the bottle on the base, then trace along the inside of the door using a pen or pencil. Then cut away the opening.
Note: If you have a bottle with a slightly different diameter, you can scale all the parts by X=d/87, with d diameter in mm. The required length, in mm, would be 170*X. For the 1,5L SmartWater bottle, that's commonly found in the US, X would be 103.5%.
The little knight is something i liked for decoration in the window behind the entrance. It was sliced and scaled from the model by bs3 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1239427). But it's optional, you can leave it out or paint or put something else in there to personalise the tower. The…
