Love the looks of it but sadly it has two flaws:
1: dice jump out of the tray
2: the main cilinder covers the rolled dice forcing you to turn it around to see all of them

Turned out perfect and my wife loves it. For rolling dices I mean. Thanks!
Made with creately petg, my first long running print. TPU does make a difference for the bouncing of dice as well as possibly protecting the base. (edited)
Looks great but doesn't slice correctly with a 0.6mm nozzle, you end up with gaps in the sides. Slices and prints just fine with a 0.4mm
My boss is into board games and thought this was a little more "professional" than the castle or skull towers. I used black esun PETG and Elegoo "grass yellow" TPU. (edited)
Fantastic design. Definitely earns a lot of complements. Looooong print though and I had to modify the bowl a bit so that I could just plop it down on my rolling tray. Thanks! Printed in Eryone Macaron Rainbow, Hatchbox Matte Light Purple PLA, and Polymaker Blue TPU.
Love the design @extruterrestrial . Quick question on the internal diameter, is this able to handle a D20 and the assorted dice range for D&D?
@PaulSauer_2903912 I think so. The diameter of the inner slides is 39 mm.
Love the shape! Had some trouble with my dice jumping out of the base, especially when throwing several at the same time.
Added a layer of packaging foam and a leather layer on top - better, but still had trouble. Remixed it to solve the problem: https://www.printables.com/model/1057214-dice-tower-w-bigger-bowl
A great model with an interesting shape. The dice roll very well through the tubes. I printed the short version because otherwise the dice tower wouldn't fit on my shelf.
Many thanks for the great model, greetings from the 3D-Druck Akademie 😉

I printed the shorter version, because of the size limitations of my mk3s+. I don't care for all the dragon/castle themed dice towers, and this one somehow reminded me of Adventure Time tree. Took a loooooong time to print with organic supports, but it looks great! The dice roll nicely and don't really pop out of the tray, so I'll skip the base insert.
@dotmakes_925570 it looks awesome! Really like the colour!
@extruterrestrial thanks! It's the eSun triple extrusion silk PLA, love that stuff, always looks good!
Nice shape! Havent seen similar! Very unique!
This looks so unique, unlike any dice tower I've seen! Love it! A few questions: how is one supposed to remove supports from the inside of the main part? What supports settings did you use? And will it work well bigger dice? D20 or 16mm D6?
@dotmakes_925570 Thank you very much! It is very easy to remove because there's only a small amount of support material where the base slots to the cylinder. I used normal auto generated supports. Only tried it with 16mm D6 but should work with D20 too since the inner slides have a 39mm diameter.
@extruterrestrial thanks! After importing it to slicer I can see that it's a tad too tall for mk3s build volume: is there any chance you could put up a modified version that would be around 200mm tall? I don't want to scale it as it might affect which dice I'd be able to use.
