Emergency Dice Tower / Mini foldable Dice Tower (card kit)

Ever get to the store for a game of DnD and that one guy forgot his dice tower again ? Or you have a new player coming over and you know they don't have their own gear ? Here is your answer, the mini emergency dice tower. Print out a few of these bad boys and keep them in a folder, and you'll always be able to provide that forgetful player with a useful tool and souvenir.

This has been a project! Welcome to a fully print in place, single piece, foldable dice tower that is entirely 3d printable and requires no tools or glue ! You can roll any die of ~20mm or smaller in this tower, many types of die will roll happily in small groups. D6s can get a bit stuck if you roll them together so don't drop a 12 die fireball in it at once.

Assembly

• Pop all parts out of the sprue and trim off any large knobbly bits using your fingernails (or if you like a knife, scissors, nail file, whatever's around). They're quite easy to remove and shouldn't take much pressure. Pay special attention to the flat sprue parts on the two hexagonal bars, they won't get in the way during assembly but they won’t just pop off like the other sprue will.
• After popping out the main tower section, flex the hinges a bit to snap them free (they're fairly strong but be gentle)
• At this point you should have the main foldable tower, a top, a bottom, 3 ramps and 2 hexagonal bars.
• Place the two lower ramps (the longest and shortest ramp) into the slots in the tower and close the tower around them to make sure they're in place. Make sure both ramps are placed in the correct orientation, the long ramp should protrude from the front (into the doorway) and the shorter ramp should protrude up against the back wall.
• Now while holding the sides of the tower to keep the ramps in place you can squeeze in the lower hex bar. Once you have the lower hex bar in place, squeeze in the top ramp which should protrude down into the body of the tower before placing the top hex bar in place.
• Once you have the ramps and hex bars in, close up the tower and make sure the back fits snugly against the hinge on the rear right corner. This should make sure the tower is fairly square and the ramps neatly in place.
• Slide on the top and bottom, ensuring the 4 corners of the tower are snugly inside and start rolling !

Once assembled you can pick the tower up, i recommend picking it up by the tower itself not the top but be a rebel, live dangerously ! You can happily disassemble the tower for travel or storage.
