I recently bought a set of dice and the box it came in seemed flimsy, so I decided to design a new box. I also got a chance to practice creating screw lids. 🙂 I also got inspired to create a heart lid because the way the dice are nestled inside reminded me of the wands they use in Ojamajo Doremi.
The box opening is 23 mm, so it’s not appropriate for big dice. The brand I have is called Olympic Polyhedral Dice.
Printing tips:
- The base can be printed with minimal support and the parts that are screwed don’t need any support. I used 0.2mm layer height, which was more than enough for the screw tolerances.
- I used gray PLA with 20% infill but since it’s a relatively thin-walled print, the infill doesn’t matter that much.
- The base takes around two and a half hours to print while the lid can be printed in less than an hour.
- I have a Creality Ender 3 V3 KE and I printed it at 150mm/s. I’m fairly new to 3D printing so I prioritized a successful print over a speedy one.
- The heart lid, unfortunately, does not come out great in any orientation, and some extra finishing is required. I want to try making other types of lids in the future so maybe I’ll get around to find a solution to fix it properly. I recommend printing it with the heart side down, so that the functional part isn’t crowded with support material afterwards.
