A Dice Tower/Tealight Holder Combo. The inspiration behind this was a lighthouse, although to be honest it could past as a normal tower as well. This design prints in 4, support-free pieces and links together afterwards. You can use the design with the pieces just stacked on top of each other, or you can glue the bottom 3 pieces. The top piece serves as a "lid" to hold the tealight candle (battery powered ONLY, don't use a real candle please).
I had someone suggest creating some features around the base of the tower to "catch" the dice. I have plans to do this still, so be on the lookout for a "diarama" version of the tower in the near future.
