Description
This laser cut dice tray features multiple materials. Wood, leather, ABS, and acrylic. I have labeled all layers with where they sit in the stack up and what material they are cut from. NOTE: if you do not wish to purchase 6mm wood just for layer 3, use 2x of them cut out of 3mm wood.
The dice slots have their labels below them, and their image engraved into the bottom of their slots. I found this to be super helpful for new players who are not as familiar with these crazy polyhedrons.
This design was subconsciously inspired by theC4Labs dice tray that can be found here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1663546689/display-pocket-tray?click_key=e339eb97a9aff4804cbbc46c3939437ccdb120ae%3A1663546689&click_sum=2e74b01e&ref=shop_home_active_5&frs=1
I did not mean to essentially duplicate their designs but I must have seen this tray somewhere and designed a very similar one. Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery?
Hardware used is from McMaster.
8x of 90596A112 - Steel Round-Base Weld Nut
8x of 92220A146 - Alloy Steel Low-Profile Socket Head Screw
I also added 5x of https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VYN7CS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to the bottom to protect the surfaces.
I recommend dialing in the engraving settings on a scrap piece of each material. Leather, acrylic, and wood all have different needs for succcessful engravings.
There is also a pocket hole in layer 2. This is not the most normal thing to do on a laser so it may take several tries to get right. The pocket needs to be a minimum of 1.25mm deep. I generally engraved it to 1.75mm deep. The surface finish doesn't quite matter as the leather will cover this area.
