YinYang Dice Tower

So this is a dice tower. Based on a yin yang. The two spirals are 33mm diameter, which allow my largest die(29.5 across corners) to fit inside when printed spiral vase with a 1mm volcano nozzle. The big spiral part was designed with SV in mind. The other two pieces can be done however. I sized it with an 8mm gap in the middle for some 8mm or 5/16 threaded rod. The part was optimized for the build volume of my big printer, 300mm square 400mm tall. Ridges on the underside of the tube promote tumbling. Pyramids on the outer wall of the tray mimic the wall of a craps table, but i rarely see a die hit them. The 33mm cone can be placed in the tray to better show off a yin yang shape, but the entrance of the opposite tower is also at the position of the opposite color dot. When viewed from above, it looks like a yin yang.

I added 4 STL's to this Thing. DiceTowerConfigurable is the tower top and bottom with 1 rotation of the spiral removed. it is nowonly 271.15 mm in height. Those of you with printers that aren't large enough to compensate for the emotional void within(unlike me) may have an easier time printing them. the other 3 are top, bottom, and 1 complete spiral loop. I haven't tried to print those individually, but if one were so inclined they could be printed to make a dice tower of arbitrary height to the limits of ABS plastic. Still intended for Spiral vase printing(slic3r) with an e3d Volcano nozzle. and I guess glue them together since i haven't designed a connector part. It would ruin the lines of the tower. Mine has broken several times and been glued back together and it looks better than if I designed connector pieces.
