Ganz Shön Clever Folding Dice Tower and Box Insert

I was frustrated by the box insert that Clever comes with, so set myself a challenge to create a folding dice tower which can also serve as a box insert. In the interest of efficiency, it also makes use of the box itself to provide extra rigidity and stability during use.

There are three required models (for the Tray, the Tower and the Faceplate), all of which can be printed without supports using your own preferred print settings. I've had success with both a 0.6mm nozzle at 0.3mm layers, and 0.4mm nozzle at 0.2mm layers. In case your printer needs it, there are variations of the Faceplate with either 0.1mm or 0.2mm of tolerance to ensure simple assembly.

I wouldn't recommend using PLA for this print - the tabs which help hold the tower stable when in use are under load when stored, and PLA's tendency to creep over time will eventually render them useless. The example is printed in PETG from https://standardprintco.com/ - my go-to for quality filament.

If you print the Faceplate and the Tower with 0 (zero) top and bottom layers, you can use exposed infill to both save filament and add visual interest. The example print uses 10% Honeycomb for the Faceplate, and 15% Honeycomb for the Tower.
If that's not your cup of tea, there's also a variation with a Voronoi pattern applied.

How to make it:

1. Print your preferred variations of the 3 required components (Tray, Tower, Faceplate). No supports are required.
2. Use a slim, sharp knife to cut away the support at the top of the clips in the Tower. If needed, gently run the knife along the other side of this clip too. Ensure it can flex without interference.
3. Use CA glue (or your own preference) to attach the Faceplate to the Tower. A drop at all the corners seems ample.
4. Clip the Tower in to position in the Tray.

Notes on using it:

1. For maximum stability, this design deliberately makes maximal contact with the cardboard game box. For that reason, when raising or lowering the Tower you should lift the Tray slightly out of the game box (the top corner of the tower will protrude during travel).
2. If you somehow still have all of the paper gamesheets which come with the game, you will find your box over-filled. I have used maybe 30 of these sheets, and it perfect fills the volume.
