The Monolith Dice Tower "Bestagon Edition"

This is the Monolith Dice Tower, a spaceship style dice tower. Its a huge model,  with three internal helix paths for the dice to roll. It comes with hinged trays that fold open.

It's part of the Monolith Dice Towers, but with hexagons to be the bestagon of itself.

The part clearance is 0.25mm and the model is print upside down. There is space to add a liner up to 2mm thick to the bottom of the trays (eva foam works great).

Projekt Files

The 3mf files are colored and supported for the MultiMaterialUpgrade (MMU). But can also be used on single color printers.

Supports

For stability, small supporting bridges connect the trays with the core and ensure print success. Both, trays and core need to be merged (right click: merge) to get perfect print results. These bridges need to be cut after printing to open the trays.

Otherwise the model can be printed without supports, but it's recommended to add some supports to the dice path opening.

I made a 3mf file with presets, paint supports and coloration. The model is split into the core and the trays for easier coloration. Both model files have a thin circle, that is needed for alignment, but so thin, it's ignored for printing.

Working with the STLs

As mentioned before, the model comes in 2 parts, the trays and the core. This is for an easier access to the surface of the core. 

To get a complete print, both models need to be put into the same position. Use the position of the model and set the same coordinates for both parts. After painting and setting supports, you need to merge the both models to get the little support bridges to work as one continuous model. But you should save the unmerged version, in case you want to change anything. Breaking the merge, will split all models. There is also an unmerged 3mf with supports.
