Description
Barad-Dur Dice tower (Eye of Sauron) from Lord of the Rings. Slot in the back for a die to slide down. slide lets out into the flat chamber and rolls the die, protected so no dice roll off the table.
UPDATE Part 2 is too big for the ender, so I split it up into an ender-friendly 2a and 2b (print both and glue together). no support needed, should fit on your ender build platform now.
I printed it in 7 pieces (or 8 if you're using an Ender) to create the inner slot without any issues and so that minimal support/scaffolding would touch the shown faces, instructions below:
Part 1 and 2, the base: print oriented normally, no support needed.
Part 3 and 4, the second section up: print oriented normally. no support needed if you can bridge the arches, otherwise use support
Part 5, the third section up: print oriented upside-down. this will prevent the need for support on the sharp, downward-facing features
Part 6 and 7, The top, the Eye of Sauron: print each half radially inward side down so no support material is needed
the .stl of the full model is also available if you have a different printing strategy, or if you think you can print it all in one go. Follow me on Instagram to see the tower in action:
