Give us the rabbit template!
I would absolutely LOVE to see a template for the “Holy Grail Trojan Rabbit “. They all look fantastic, but that rabbit is something I didn’t know I needed.
Absolutely!
Agreed 100%
Same. Like so much
Yes
Yes, I need to get this for my husband for Christmas.
No offense Bob, but this might be the first time the rest of the team out shined you. Those towers are awesome!
I surround myself with talented people.
@@Iliketomakestuff Indeed. FWIW, we need a video on how that Trojan Bunny was made.
@@steamer2k319 that one was by far the best one, not the prettiest and not the simplest but the best one imo
I mean they just printed stuff out or bought something and painted it, he cut and glued something and did electrics?
@@Givemepeacealone printing is a pain
Source(s): Dude trust me
Really awesome towers. My only opinion/critique is with your acrylic tower: If there's ever a rev.2, would be nice if you could move the switch itself into the base and use an acrylic rod to push the switch. This would help clean up the aesthetics by hiding the black switch and the black and red wires.
Other than that, still an awesome tower.
oooh, A push rod is a fantastic idea.
I was thinking the same thing
Goooood idea!
I was thinking a vibration sensor installed in the base could work as well
Thanks for featuring our Wizard Dice tower! The Rapunzel-tower paint job looks amazing!
My first dice tower was a pringles can with skewers punched through the sides I added hot glue to the sides to give it a rock like texture and painted it black an then off gray dry brushed on the sides. It worked well enough.
That sounds amazing!
@@Iliketomakestuff as I said it worked well enough my second or was a pringles can with cardboard stairs a hole cut out the side and lack paint like a dark tower to go against my light tower.
Love the idea. I might have to try something like that.
To make sure the dice don't slide, you could always add little drops of super glue or epoxy, just add a little entropy to the system
hot glue..easy, rubbery, grippy
Entropy! Love it! Yesssssss....
Any chance you'll be building a DM's screen that matches the table? I would love to see your take - especially with some embedded magnets and accessories! Loving these TTRPG-inspired videos!
I would love to hear your D&D sessions. Time for another podcast!
Also, When Geeks Craft is excellent and everyone should check them out!
Yes on all fronts.
Always thought the main purpose of a dice tower (at least my reason for wanting one) was to keep the dice contained. Making sure they don't roll off the table or onto the game playing surface (possibly knocking over minis and pieces). Also adds some cushion so they aren't so loud rolling on a table.
I liked your tower, if I made it my own, I would have used speaker wire with clear insulation for the switch, and given it a landing platform, like many of your contemporaries with a fancy clear acrylic hinge so it could fold for transport. Maybe thrown in a rechargeable battery. Overall nice work everyone.
Hi Megan! Welcome to the team!
Not long ago you mentioned those acrylic hinges on the podcast and how you've never had a reason to use them and here you are. Awesome project! Diy dice towers.
HEY THATS US!!!!
Whoa it is you! Everyone should go follow their channel.
@@Iliketomakestuff Couldn't agree more. Come on party people. head on down.
All of these are fantastic! Great stuff guys!
Thanks so much!
Love all of these! Awesome work guys and gals!
I really like the castle tower. You all have a great imagination. Makes me want to learn to play the game
Nice dice tower, I'm so happy you mentioned that box maker website because it's just what a need for a project I'm working on
Very cool video today Bob and the team. This turned out very well there. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come Bob. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work BoB. Keep making. ClampChamp. God bless.
I have made a few Dice towers out of pallet wood, supper simple tower, but they work nice, very creative team there Bob, keep up the awesome work
Sweet towers! I made a dice tower with two cardboard faux books boxes from Michaels (which I decorated to look like spellbooks from Yu-Gi-Oh). Now I'm remembering all my other tower ideas I gotta try.
I watch every video anyway, but this was a particularly eye-catching thumbnail! Probably your best yet!
Can we please get a video for that wooden tray?
Seriously, tho. a good follow up could be making your own dice boxes/vaults.
Very fun. Love all of them.
Another bad ass vid, and I’m glad the crew got in on it too
I love seeing what they create.
Fantastic video. On a scale from 1-10 I give it a 20!
You're like the Jedi of D&D for having constructed your own dice tower
Fantastic work, guys! Brilliant ideas!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊
all of those look cool as hell, good job!
they all look so cool
The wooden tray is gorgeous!
I really dig all the towers! Well done guys.
looks good guys. All of them
Thanks!
The sliding you saw is probably why there are designs out there where there are bumpers/ledges on the ramps to add more tumble triggers for the dice on the way down.
I love the lights!
Those are cool!
these were all really great.
Loving the TTRPG builds!
“And by that, I mean move it to another saw!” I felt that in my soul! Lol
It seems so fun. Also miss your outdoor builds.
The weather is getting nicer, so we'll be doing more.
Love it bob
Very cool to see so many different versions of something with the same function. I love dice towers, cause they are practical and can even be used as scenery if made to look like the setting of what ever the game you play is.
I made several of xps foam and some of eva foam. They make very little noise when used because the softness of the materials, specially the eva foam ones.
Otherwise, if you don't like the rattling noise you can always glue some felt or similar to the inside to soften it a bit.
I really like the Mario pipe the best, it's simple but not too simple, and it's just the right size. What'd be really neat for a second revision, add a little Mario or Luigi figurine at the top that plunges the dice into the pipe to roll it.
SO COOL!!!!
I made a plinko like dice tower board thing a few years ago. Maybe I'll finally finish it with a tray and start using it.
Awesome team!
Super cool!!
THank you!
Love it! Those are awesome! 💙💛😎
Cool towers. Will need to make something like this for my brother who is into D&D
"So this is a cool thing that I found on Amazon years ago and I bought them just in case I would ever have a need for them. And today's the day! Now I just have to find them."
I FEEL SEEN! 🤣🤣 Love you Bob!
I know that feeling! XD
Amazing
Thanks
Ooh I've gotta make that Mario pipe one!! That's such a good idea!!!
Thank you for the makercase reference. I have had a LED planned tower that I had been wondering how to do the base.
Those are nice.
In my efforts to stop spreading my gaming stuff all over the table, I built a gaming box with a dice tower in the lid. There's also a rail to prop up index cards or spell cards I need to be able to reference.
The bottom part has the dice tray to catch dice from the tower and several compartments. One holds pens and pencils. One holds index cards (the lifeblood of gaming). There's a little niche for post-it notes (great for noting conditions and whatnot), and a compartment to hold dice and/or minis. I made it big enough to hold a couple standard Chessex plastic dice containers, which can also be converted to mini transport cases with a little poster tac.
It keeps my dice, player notes, and supplies contained in a space about a foot wide, and (mostly) stops my dice from ending up on the floor.
I might add feet that lift it up off the table. That way, I could slide my character sheet under it when I don't need it and save a little more space. That'd make it a bit more of a pain to transport, though.
That's a heart-warming study in efficient design. Great job.
I'm not in the least bit interested in a dice tower - but I find all of your videos fascinating. Thank you and well done. (The Rapunzel Tower gets my vote) 😉
Damn those are all amazing.
Thank you!
Josh wins again! I need that rabbit so bad! Rapunzel's tower is amazing as well
Nice video! I’d be interested in test results. A) Drop a die in with a given side facing up. B) Record what is rolled. C) Repeat 1,000 times. In this way, one can test whether or not a dice tower actually produces random rolls.
I love Fate's End's models. They do amazing work
They are amazing models.
@@Iliketomakestuff These dice towers are wild! Can't wait to see them all in action at the table :)
Loved the vid, leaving a comment for the algorithm
Sweet!
Thanks!
Dice towers are great, there are so many fun possibilites of what to shape them as to fit a particular theme. Over on my channel I made one in the shape of a bird house for the board game Wingspan.
It looks awesome, great job!
@@Iliketomakestuff Thanks!
Roll to save vs. Giant Wooden Rabbit!
Elegant entropy engines!
These are all super cool in their own way and construction. Are you going to/able to release a video showing them all being made? Keep up the great work!!
I wish y'all would upload the model for the Mario tube dice roll. My son saw that and wanted one immediately!
03:19 +1 awesomeness for using die when referring to a single item (instead of the plural dice)
My latest dice tower is also my drinking cup. I have a 20z. tall insulated mug. I made a dice tower "sleeve" to fit around it.
Loved this video! Someone should make a Lego one. Thank you!
KILLER TROJAN BUNNY!!
I laughed when you called vellum "a kind of plastic-y paper". Vellum is a processed calf skin for writing on it. Paper vellum is another thing entirely. :) But as always, great projects. Stay awesome!
I would have loved to see a detailed video on the other 3 towers. They looked really cool
Oh yes! I love how different they turned out 😀
The Rapunzel one is actually a free model you can 3D print from Thingaverse (I have the same one sitting on my shelf)... it isn't Rapunzel-themed by nature, so I loved her creativity there, but when I saw it, I was like "Hey! I recognize that!!!"
That ending looked pretty dicey
These look like there straight out of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and... I'm liking them 😅[1] in thumbnail
Make a "Dice Blender" ? A kitchen blender with a soft silicon blade that is super safe for fingers and dice..... A slow spinning motor and when it stops, the dices drop down and out ? :P
I finally made my own dice tower out of cardboard. It makes rolling dice even more fun
Sweet! Great final products all around. I have that Fate's End dice tower, too. Also went with the purple roof. Awesome print and paintjob! Just a quastion, would you expect any issues with the acrylic bonds possible cracking over time? Most of those joints do suffer repeated impacts and I've always wondered about durability when solvent welding.
Haha, did Bob's not work at the end there? Anthony broke it! :D
These do look really nice, yours included. But if I were to do the acrylic one, I'd surround it in rough, jagged cut(though obviously sanded to prevent cuts) pieces, coming to a point at the top, to make it look like a crystal that I'm throwing my dice into. But that's just my take.
The rabbit is the best one!
My favorite is the"large wooden badger!"
Dice towers are nice for keeping dice in one place too.
Love the Mario theme, but definitely have to go with the Monty Python rabbit!! It's definitely time to watch the Holy Grail again...
Yay! When geeks craft shout out!
The Trojan Rabbit was epic!!!
Is sounds like a cool place to work
It really is. We have a lot of fun here.
I feel like we missed an intro to Meghan. Sweet paint job!
I find it funny that just over a week ago i 3d printed that same wizard tower dice tower!
I printed it a few months ago. It's pretty great!
(Though hers definitely looks better... I printed mine in Purple and then painted the walls gray and... that was it.)
Shelves? Slopes? Steps? = Baffles. :)
I really like all towers. With Bob's tower, I think either an optical switch or a microphone would've been better suited to trigger the LED's, rather than a regular momentary limit switch.
I was thinking optical as well but a microphone is really interesting. I could see a lot of false triggers though
@@hoguemr Microphones/vibration sensors would definitely be a bit more tricky to get to work reliably. Fortunately, the acrylic can transfer vibrations quite well, so a microphone could even be hidden in the base, as long as it's mounted directly to the acrylic. Might be a bit more difficult to get working properly, but it would also allow for the tower to be completely clear, without wires. Another option could be mounting the entire thing on a stain gauge (weight sensor) and have it trigger when it senses a significant weight increase when the die is dropped in.
omg i love all the towers. especially the python one! :D
btw bob, what do you think of the idea of adding a battery to the base of your tower? i think this change woukd make it more mobile, removing the need for a power outlet.
I like the tower with the Hair.
I love Josh's tower! But I also love Arduinos and LEDs...
It is so silly and perfect at the same time.
Would love to see a build on his!
@@Iliketomakestuff But what if we built this large, wooden badger?
All the towers are great in their own way, but I'm definitely Team Rabbit!
I'm gonna need some plans for that rabbit tower stat
What brand of acrylic solvent do you like to use? I checked your shop list and didn't see consumables on there.
dice catapult with a variable hight and distance limiter set to random hight or distance or both
I love dnd
Electronic dice would be fun i have a little. Idea and i think about it!
What glue were you using for the acrylic, and where do you get that cool bottle with the small/precision tip?
I’ve watched several dice tower how to’s and the one flaw I see in the baffle type is it you drop the dice in the “wrong” spot it will completely bypass the first baffle.
Your light up tower was good, but I would have used a white tube to conceal the wires. Make them less noticeable. IMO
