Introducing the Dune dice storage box!

 

The specially tuned “Dune” shapes of the box has special functions:

  • When the box is closed: The dunes keeps the dice separeted and stay in place
  • (Note: result might vary depending on the size of your dice set)
  • When the box is opened: The dunes evenly space the dice apart, allowing the player to place each die at their desired spots, and grab them easily.

 

Built-in rolling tray:

  • The lid of the box also act as a rolling tray when the box is open.

 

There are several variation of the Dune dice storage box:

  • Manetic vs. Clip Mechanism
    • For the magnetic version, each box requires six “5 mm diameter x 10 mm long” magnets. The magnets not only holds the lid closed, but also aligns the boxes when the boxes are stacked!
    • For users who don't have magnets on hand, the clip mechanism version has a print-in-place spring-loaded clip that holds the lid closed.
  • One Piece vs. Separate Pieces
    • For users with Prusa printers, or printers with print bed larger than 230 x 130 mm, you can choose the one piece version and print the box in one go, even the hinge!
    • For users who use printer with smaller bed size, fear not! The separate pieces version split the box into two pieces, even the Prusa MINI can handle it.
    • (The second photo displays a “separate pieces - clip mechanism” variation.)
  • Blank vs. Hexagon vs. D20
    • These are decorative design options for the lid of the box, choose as you please, or add your own designs!
