Mario Dice Tower

Adventurers! Dice tower enthusiasts! Fans of Mario! Your time has come! Let your next D&D rolls be eaten by the dreaded piranha plant and take a joy ride through its stem entering a mysterious pipe. Oh? Where do we end up? This must be Rainbow Road!

#DICEXCULTS

This idea came about from wanting to create unique dice tower that also can be disassembled easily and brought with you. I also wanted to have it be printable on a Prusa Mini AND without supports. Checking all of those boxes and combining it with Mario, you have this fantastic model.

Assembly instructions:

GLUE
– Teeth to lips (align them to get the best mouth closure)
– Spots to head halves
– "?" to box and front cap

• Both pipes utilize a insert and twist to lock in system.
• Stem fits perfectly chamfered edge in first.
• Top lip holds both halves of head together.
• Bottom head is held together by the top of the stem hole and the connecting pins.
• Connecting pins double as an axle for the top half.
• Leaves fit nicely in slots on the top pipe.
• Bottom of bottom pipe has a spot for rainbow road connector piece.
• Rainbow road has the same.

• Side rails and end wall can be glued if needed.

• Front and top cap can be used to cover dice holes during transport.

• Bottom cover of box slides in from the opposite side of the exit hole. The small slot on it goes toward the box to act as a lock once it's all the way in.

The only side note I have is I truly only tested this with dice I had laying around and had some rolls that wouldn't be stopped by the walls. I did my best to somewhat stop the dice. My story for that would be the dice can't drive well and end up driving off the edge of Rainbow Road.

I sped up design on this for #DICEXCULTS. I hope you enjoy it! If you have questions, please let me know. This build is a bit complex so I might've missed something in my explanation.

EDIT: it was brought to my attention that I somehow missuploaded a few of the files and was missing a couple things. I THINK I fixed everything that was missing. If not, let me know.

Strap in. If a part is not mentioned, you can print it however you want.

Box – Prints fine with 0.3mm but would recommend 0.15-0.2 for the last 15mm of the print.

Piranha head pieces / Stem – Print these at a lower layer height. I printed all of these at 0.15 without supports and everything fit perfectly.

Rainbow Road – This was made with a rainbow filament to get the idea of it being "rainbow road"

Rainbow Road side rails – 1st layer height: 0.25mm ….layer height: 0.3mm (tolerances for fitting pieces together)

Leaves – This one has potential for a color change for the last layer for added decoration. To get the curve of it, you can use a heat gun or hair drier and a glass or cup to help.
