Multi Pair D6 Dice Shaker

This dice shaker was designed to speed up games that require rolling many pairs of D6, such as BattleTech Alpha Strike (Multiple Attack Rolls), but it can be used for any tabletop game that needs multiple paired dice rolls.

Instead of rolling a pile of dice, finding pairs, reading them, and sorting them again for the next attack, simply:

  • Put two 12 mm D6 into each compartment (up to 8 pairs total).

  • Shake the box well.

  • Read the results starting from the compartment marked by the arrow on the lid.

  • Use the first N pairs, where N is the number of attacks you are making.

The compartments were sized specifically for 12 mm dice, allowing them to tumble and roll while minimizing the chance of one die resting on top of another.

Printing

The box is highly recommended to be printed in TPU. It makes shaking much quieter and gives the shaker a nicer feel.

The "spider web" insert between the box and the lid serves two purposes:

  • Keeps the dice from escaping while allowing them to roll freely.

  • Can be used as a cutting template if you'd rather install a transparent cover instead. Simply trace the outline onto thin clear plastic (for example, plastic from document folders or sign inserts) and cut it to shape.

Assembly

Hardware required:

  • 1 × M3×18 screw

  • 1 × M3 nut

If you don't have metric hardware available, a suitable self-tapping screw can also be used.

Enjoy faster dice rolling and spend more time actually playing!
