Hex Dice Tower (Patreon)
Content
Howdy, wonderful people!
I do love dynamic things, whether it's moving gears, flowing water, or in this case, rolling dice. It's a dice tower! A modular one that comes apart, specifically. Let's look at the parts...
Let's start at the bottom. You'll need one of these parts, since it's where the dice are directed out of the tower.
On top of the bottom piece, we stack middle pieces, as many as we like, taking care to align the ramps to form a spiral! Well, a helix :P Note that these pieces stack firmly and securely, but they aren't fixed together - they're intended to just come apart if you lift them individually.
Finally, the top! A platform to ready your dice for deployment, and a hole into which to drop them. This, too, just stacks neatly on top.
The top and bottom do have another feature, however - the top can be bolted on to provide a cover to the non-ramp section of the bottom, and thus provide handy dice storage! Purely optional, though - it just need the bolt to be printed.
Printing Tips
Designed for straightforward printing - no crazy angles, no support needed anywhere! You'll want to make sure things are neat and within the realms of dimensional correctness, since the pieces need to fit together, but the tolerances are fairly generous anyway.

Final Thoughts
Have you noticed how annoying it sounds when dice rattle on plastic printed parts? Now you can share that joy with others. Have fun! :)
