Backstory
I was experimenting with a new idea to construct rolling paths for dice towers. And I found a nice way to use spheres to easily generate rolling paths with bumpers.
Therefore I made a model based on this concept and added spheres to form this tower of bubbles.
Technical features
The rolling path in this case is a conical spiral, thus the shape of the tower. But the method allows all kinds of paths, especially in tight areas, so this is just the beginning.
The smalles diameter (entry diameter) is 32mm, which can handle even some bigger dice like handmade dice or dispel dice.
There are two models, the regular version slightly under 210mm and a small version with around 160mm. Both share the same path geometry, just the bases are made differently.
Disclaimer: The dice in the pictures are my own creation, if you're interested in that, check out my Instagram profile and contact me there. Same for print on demand. I don't have a shop and do commissions and print on demand as my time allows.
