Parametric Dice Tower & Tablet Stand (Customizable)
A tablet stand combined with a dice tower, that is fully customizable. You can use the Thingiverse Customizer (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6052160) or OpenSCAD to make this model fit pretty much any dice and tablet. Save a little space during your next tabletop game!
May work for cell phones as well, but a horizontal phone may not leave enough height in the tower for bumpers.
Included modelsThe models I included can fit a Galaxy TabA 10.1" tablet with case (pictured), and up to 25mm diameter dice. Measurements for dice are made at their widest point of the largest die. The tilt angle is 20 degrees. The attached Customizer starts with those measurements.
What can you customize- Choose from 1 of 3 core layouts
- Size of dice you'll use
- Size of the tablet you'll use
- How much the tablet should tilt
- Size of the dice tray at the bottom
- The funnel at the top
- If it uses a support in the back
- And a little bit more!
- There are 3 "bumpers" in the default model, that jostle around the dice. You can change the tablet size, dice size, funnel size, tablet tilt and more to change that number! Be sure to check if enough bumpers are present. Ideally you'll have at least 2.
- If you turn off the funnel, be sure to set its "depth" to 0! Otherwise bumpers may get cut off.
I saw Mental_Moose's tower (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4849954) but I wanted to make some alterations. Customizable tablet size, more "bumpers" to knock dice around in the tower section, less filament, etc. My version is all original, but props to Mental_Moose for the main idea!
