Tile Tower/Dispenser - Beacon Patrol
This is a double tile tower and dispenser which I designed to fit Beacon Patrol tiles (50 mm square) as a fun way to enhance the board game!
This item was designed entirely in TinkerCAD and holds all 63 tiles in the base Beacon Patrol board game, in two separate towers. The HQ tile has a dedicated space on the back. Also included in this item is:
- A snap-fit lid to contain the tiles during storage
- A square tower loader which makes dropping the tiles into the tower easier
- A custom fitted box insert which fits the tower, loader, and all other game components snugly
- Two lid risers which boost the lid of the box up about 1 cm (since the tower is too tall for the stock game box. *Note: I hot-glued these in place for my game, along with the insert*
Refer to the included PDF for print and assembly instructions. You will need a few machine screws and two metal compression springs to finish the assembly. See photos for dimensions of each hardware component.
FYI: I know it's sometimes difficult to get the right components to assemble my designs; so a Hardware Kit is available for the tile dispenser which contains all necessary extras to finish the design after printing! Link is:

Also, the finished product is available if you prefer to purchase that; also on my Etsy.
Notes:
--- This is a detailed mechanical component and a technical print. Have your printer dialed in, and you will need to ensure all components move smoothly when assembling. Depending on your print, some trimming may be necessary.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you -
