Description
I had made all of the Star Trek Ascendancy box organizers for the game thanks to westph21 on thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4386391
However the new expansions are not supported and despite another maker on thingiverse Bubble_0f_d00m he had only created the lids and not the dice towers because he didn't need them personally https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5498271
If anyone wants the dice towers, then I have created them for you.
I used the blank dice towers from the organizers and embedded (as well as I could) the symbols for the Dominion and Breen to their respective dice towers.
Previous printing the other dice towers vertically was a bit of a mess without supports, and with supports it filled the inside and I couldn't remove the supports without breaking the tower.
My sollution was this… I tried 2 methods… One was to print the Dominion dice tower on its back with tree supports - It works but needs cleaning up a bit and I recommend Tab corners to stop them curling up - I didn't use these but it printed good enough for me. The other method I used on the Breen dice tower was again printing it on its back with tree supports but I used a raft. This leaves a slightly rough surface on the back but I can cope with that. I used colours that are a good match for the game pieces (Zira Purple for the Dominion and Prima Value Dark Grey for the Breen). These are shown in my photos.

Both methods are shown above but you can use whatever is best for you (especially if you have printed other Star Trek Ascendancy dice towers before). I try not to use brims but you can if you get along with them instead of using Tab corners.
