Collapsing Dice Tower
This dice tower prints-in-place in the retracted position with no supports but after printing it extends to three times its original height. The drawbridge opens to allow the dice through, but a detent keeps it closed when traveling. The funnel on top and the angle on the bottom mixes the die and makes sure they exit the tower every roll. There is a button on the bottom that locks the tower in position so it wont accidently extended. There is compartment on the bottom for storing dies with a built in catch on the lid.
It is designed to be printed with a .4mm nozzle. The walls are four shells thick, two shells are used for the brick inlay.
Note: if your tower does not extend all the way, pull it apart until you have the desired extension and leave it for a day or two. The plastic will eventually "creep" and you will eventually get the perfect fit.
