This is an improved print profile which also fits the A1 mini.

These are spare springs for if your old ones get fatigued or misshapen. This heavily depends on your filament choice, but the best solution is using steel springs. To replace the spring, remove the op of the tower by pressing in the release clips through the small holes in the side of the bottom.

Original V3 Model with painted brick mortar. Takes a very long time to print, silent speed setting suggested to lower the risk of failure mid-print. Also suggest drying filament and fine-tuning your flow rate before starting. The very beginning of this print's brown color has some rough spots from sub-optimal filament. Same 0.2mm layer height and 10% infill, but added 3 walls to hopefully help strengthen the spring and tower, especially around the pivot points

This profile has a modified base that makes the balcony angle 45° at the back instead of 35°. Also moved the pivot point to increase the strength around the pivot (mine broke around the pivot too easily). Other improvements include a chamfer on the back of the balcony arms to reduce the chance of the base fusing to the arms. Should also make it print cleaner there too.

Multicolor Smash Dice Tower H2 Series Recommended

A friend of mine liked the smash tower I printed when I first got my X1C, but he didn't like how it was all one color. As a birthday gift, and to play with the dual extrusion of my new H2C I colorized all the gaps between bricks to make it look more distinct. I also added a text field to the underside of the part that flips up with his initials so that when he smashes the tower the initials will be right side up. Definitely, adds to the print time, but I can imagine more interesting color combiniations looking very striking.

Designer's Description

Smash!

For commercial use, please have a look at my

Most Dice Towers are awesome additions to your board game experience. But it doesn't make rolling the dice any easier. If anything, it makes it more fun but also slightly more inconvenient.

Smash! resolves this by having an auto reload functionality. Just smash the top and the dice are automatically rerolled for you. You can still drop them in from the top or change them out. But then, just Smash!

The dice tower should handle any dice up to a diagonal/diameter of 30mm.

There is a printable spring included in the print file, but due to creep this spring can fatigue over time and not lift the top of the dice tower up again (but can easily be replaced). It is therefore advised to use an 80*8mm spring (not yet tested because of Bambu shipping mess, but it should work).

If you go the printable spring route, it works better if you lube the coils of the spring and the bottom of the top part (ptfe/silicone) to reduce friction. Depending on the filament used you might need to swap it out once in a while, or upgrade to the coil springs mentioned above.

Just drop the coil springs (or slide the printed spring) in place and slide the top part of he tower down. It will click in place and if you use the printed spring you might need to nudge the top backwards. If you ever want to take the castle apart again, there are two holes in de side through which you can unlock the clips that keep the castle together.

If the bridge doesn't come down by itself you might need to work the hinges a bit before it becomes a smooth action. If that still didn't help, use a bit of lube on the hinges. If the top parts has issues reach the bottom, lube like described above and make sure the spring is pushed all the way into the slot. If you are not using the provided print profile, make sure to disable supports , whatever Bambu Studio tries to tell you.

V2 improvements:

Stiffer, longer lasting, spring

Easier removal of printed spring

Tiled pattern on the stairs

Better Maze (reduced chance of dice jumping out when using the top)

V3 improvements:
Made tab connection bigger with a fillet
Added an M3 grub screw hole above the stairs as backup if your tabs break
Added thickness to the bottom prevents spring from protruding and makes the terrace a bit heavier

Other than that, just Smash! it and have fun!

Happy Printing!
