Mechanical Dice Box (print-in-place, no supports, no assembly)

Are you a tabletop gamer looking to impress your fellow adventurers with a fancy dice holder? Well, if so, you’re a *nerd* (so am I). If you’re not, then maybe there’s a nerd in your life who would appreciate a neat new dice box as a holiday gift?

The Mechanical Dice Box is a seven-chambered functional box designed to store a standard set of tabletop dice (assuming a maximum spherical dice footprint of 1.06”). The box opens as the outer dial spins counterclockwise, which unrolls seven ridged doors along hidden internal circular rails. The doors stow within the box’s underbody, providing full access to all seven compartments from above. To close the box, simply spin the dial clockwise. See this function demonstrated in the attached gif below.

All nine components of the box are pre-assembled within a single print-in-place file. Tolerances have been carefully designed to avoid print failures, ensure smooth movement, and ease the post-processing of the fresh print (see instructions below). Due to these fixed tolerances, scaling the print up or down is discouraged.

Please read the post-printing instructions before printing the box.
