I built a gaming table topper using series 15 extruded aluminum following the parts list and method from this video.

This is a remix of the following design who I got permission from to post this remix.

Thank you eebel for allowing this.

I took the original design and bastardized it so that I could mount it to my gaming table topper. I have two main segments for this print, one segment (1 piece) attaches to the table topper as a top mount and the other segment is a 3 piece dice tower.

I added a "trap" door for the dice to fall down to the gaming topper surface and I made the "hole" between the top layer and the middle layer larger so that 25mm dice could roll down this tower.

The tower segment will NOT fold down into a neat little box anymore.

I super glued some magnetic tape to the mount and the bottom of the dice tower. The magnetic tape is in the link below, you can get 1 pack at the store and don't have to buy 12.

The idea was that the dice would roll forward them fall down the "trap" door and roll sideways towards the person rolling the dice vs rolling straight towards the game board.

The trap door is a print in place and should be wriggled gently until it gradually breaks loose. If you get too aggressive and muscle it, it will break.

I printed this at .6 layer height with a .8 nozzle. If you use different sizes, your results may vary.

I modded this in Tinkercad.
