Dual material lid for 7SoulFox's dice tray
February 27, 2022
Description
This is an alternate top for the dice tray in 7SoulFox's "Dice Box/Tray/Thing". I wanted something that wasn't a simple cut-through design, or solid plate, so I did a quick plate to use instead. This is a dual-material print (although I suppose technically it could be up to seven material if you had an appropriate printer). I printed the panel in wood filament, and the rest in black PLA. You could also print it single material by loading all the parts into your slicer and not setting an alternate extruder to use for the different parts.
I printed at .15mm layers, 20% infill, no supports or anything. The dice have minimal overhangs by design, so they should print on pretty much any printer without supports. I also used an "octagram spiral" for the top/bottom layer fill pattern, as it generally looks better when stained as wood filament.
I haven't done prep sanding or stained my box yet, so I don't have a good "finished" photo, just the rough one, so I uploaded a rendering.
Note, if you have a single material printer, itspossible you could print all of these separately and assemble them with glue. It might take some filing to get it all to fit, but the openings for all of the dice, I think, could probably take the dice after printing. Maybe print them 99% or something for some clearance and use some CA glue.

I have this tagged as a remix... technically its not, its a from-scratch remake of the panel in Fusion360, but it seems to pretty closely match the original.
