Key features:

• Dedicated pockets for all 7 polyhedral dice (D4, D6, D8, D10, D%, D12, D20).
• Integrated rolling tray with a 3-inch felt pad recess for a premium rolling surface.
• Raised D20 emblem on the lid, doubling as the interlock feature for the rolling tray.
• Three flat planes perfect for customization—emboss player names, character names, or any other text easily with PrusaSlicer's text tool.
• Multiple Lid Clearance Options to ensure you get the perfect twist-lock fit for your printer/filament/settings.

This sleek, functional design is an excellent addition to any dice collection, offering both secure storage and a stylish rolling surface for your gaming sessions.

Two versions of the base are included, one with Dice ID numbers, and one without.

Rolling Tray Setup Instructions (SEE VIDEO IN GALLERY):

1. Open the dice box and remove all dice.
2. Position the lid on one of its flat sides with the D20 emblem facing to the right.
3. Position the base on its side, ensuring the dice pockets face the D20 emblem on the lid.
4. Align the base and lid, then slide them together until they touch.
5. Gently slide the pieces back and forth until the interlock features engage—this will be very obvious when properly connected.
   • If they do not engage, rotate the base 30 degrees (one hexagonal side) and try again.
6. Once interlocked, carefully rotate the assembled rolling tray upright, and you're ready to roll!

Print Settings:

• Layer Height: 0.20mm
• Supports: Painted supports on the felt pad recess of the lid (Snug Supports and For Support Enforcers Only enabled)
• Infill: Recommended 15-20% for durability
• Material: PLA, PETG, or your preferred filament
• Bed Adhesion: The base is a big flat area with sharpish corners, may be prone to warping at said corners. Clean your print bed with moisturizer-free dish detergent (Dawn Platinum), and thoroughly dry before printing. A brim may help with adhesion if needed.

For best results, ensure proper bed leveling and cooling settings to maintain dimensional accuracy for the snap-lock mechanism.

Got some feedback that the lid fit was a little too snug for some printers and filaments, so I’ve added a couple of alternative lids with a bit more clearance to make sure everyone can get a solid, satisfying snap-lock!

If your lid is just a little tight but still workable, don’t worry—the twist-lock will naturally wear in over time, making for an even smoother fit with use. But if it’s too tight to be practical, grab one of the versions with more clearance and you should be good to go.

Lid Clearance Variations

To accommodate different printer tolerances and filament variations, three lid options are available:

• TLDB_Lid.3mf – Default clearance of .003" between the lid and base.
• TLDB_Lid_.006.3mf – A bit more room with .006" clearance.
• TLDB_Lid_.009.3mf – The most clearance at .009", great for trickier prints or filament that expands more than expected.

If your printer is dialed in and prints super accurate parts, the default lid should work fine. If you find things tend to print a little larger or your filament likes to expand, try one of the higher clearance options for a smooth and frustration-free fit.

Still not quite right? If one size is too tight and the next one up is too loose, just drop me a message or leave a comment—I’ll do my best to upload an in-between size as soon as I can!

Love rolling with chunky resin dice, sharp-edged sets, metal dice, or other artisanal beauties? I got you covered! After chatting with a few dice manufacturers/distributers to determine sizing, I've added a new version of the dice box with larger dice pockets (~30mm / 1.188") to fit those premium sets comfortably.

Since the whole design had to scale up, the rolling tray section is also larger, now featuring a 4-inch inset that fits a 4" adhesive felt pad for a smooth rolling surface.

Now, whether you're using classic polyhedrals or oversized statement pieces, you’ll have a secure, stylish, and functional storage & rolling solution! 🎲✨

Let me know if you have any special requests or feedback—I’m always happy to tweak things to make sure they work for everyone!
