Plinko Tube Dice Tower

Plinko Tube Dice Tower

This is a dice tower inspired by Plinko mechanics. It's designed to provide fair, random rolls while being easy to print on most 3D printers—no supports required. Dice dropped into the funnel bounce off internal fins and land in the lower tray.

Features:

• Randomized rolling using internal vanes
• No support required for printing
• Optional weighted base: Printing with 0% infill* creates a hollow cone-shaped cavity in the base that can be filled with Sand, Scrap Metal, Shot, BBs, or other materials to increase stability (fill while printing, becomes a "permanent' part of the tower).

Printing Notes:

• If you choose to print with 0% infill, make sure to adjust the perimeter and layer settings appropriately:
• Use 7 perimeters (based on a 0.4 mm nozzle and 0.2 mm layer height) to keep the internal structure solid while allowing the base cone to remain hollow.
• Set 8 top and bottom layers to avoid internal delamination of the base—especially important if you're using a rigid build surface. Flexible beds can mitigate this issue, but not all users have one.
• These settings help maintain strength and ensure that the model prints cleanly, even with no internal infill.

Whether you're rolling up an epic RPG campaign or tossing dice in your favorite board game, this tower is a fun, practical print with flexibility built in.  Great for gamers with little kids and/or pets that like to investigate the game.
