Wingspan Dice Tower - magnets, easier to glue, board game

I printed alaorath's Dice Tower and found it to be very easy to print (after correcting orientation) but found the back piece overly difficult to glue into place.

I brought this model, the original base, and Harmful_Flea's Tower Add into Fusion 360 and made some modifications

• I removed the eves so I don't need the slitted base modification.

• I modified how the Tower Back attaches to the Tower to be easier to glue

• I added my own magnet pockets. I used these 10mm x 2mm magnets which I measured to actually 10mm to 1mm. The pockets in the Tower and Tower Base are 12mm x 1mm.

• For the Tower Addon, I lengthened it to accommodate my changes to "Tower Back," I added an arrow (dice direction) to remind me how to insert it, and I slightly fixed its geometry. I would suggest printing this part with supports.

• Other minor changes.

Update 2024-04-07

• On a whim, I modeled a version that replaced the holes in the tower with Batman logos with optional rings you can inlay.

Update 2024-04-08

• I added "Bat Tower Add" for a dice ramp with a Batman logo.

• I made “Tower Add” and “Bat Tower Add” slightly shorter for a snugger fit.

Print all models in the provided orientations.

Post-Printing =============

You can store this dice tower in the game's box, in place of the original... assuming you

* do NOT glue "Tower Add" to "Tower" * do NOT glue "Tower" to "Tower Base"

Use CA glue or similar to glue the "Tower Back" to "Tower".

The "Tower" and "Tower Base" have 12mm x 1mm pockets for optional magnets. Use CA glue or similar to attach the optional magnets.

I imported the original .STL files into Fusion 360. I converted the meshes to solids. I remodeled until I was happy with them.
