How To Turn A Pringles Can Into A Dice Tower.

- Did you know Pringles cans were so bad for the environment? Well rather than throw them out how about we turn them into a feature of game night. Join me as I turn a can into a old abandoned wizard's tower and roll a nat 20 on your recycling check.

Brilliant! Is there a trick to figuring out where best to cut the door so it opens at the end of the stairs? Thanks so much for making this video and sharing!!
Glad you liked it. There is no real trick. It is best to build the stairs and before inserting them mark on the rough areas of the top opening and the end of the stair as once they are in they can be very difficult to remove without breaking. If you have heavy dice and a good ear then before you cut you can roll your dice down and listen for where it hits the metal base. To be perfectly honest however because the door has a curve, from the can itself, the dice will always want to bounce away from it so as long as you are around the opposite end of the tube you should be fine.
@@BridgeMakes Excellent, thanks!! My son has decided he wants an all green tower, so we're off to get some Pringles so we can make one (or two - I think I want one too!) Thanks! :-D
We're getting there! Took us two attempts for the stairs - we cut the discs too big and the steps too wide. Much better second time :) Now working on the wall bricks!
That part will take a while but I'm glad to hear you are still working on it :)
Very creative! Really nice work!
Thank you
I love the idea of putting papier-mache (?) around the tube first! I always struggle to get the look of mortar between the outer bricks.
Cool idea with the newspaper! I've been looking for ways to texture the can without foam bricks.
Thanks im glad I could give a little inspiration
@@BridgeMakes No worries!
I didn't know what I was expecting, but this turned out WAY cooler than what I thought! Very well done! I'm definitely gonna go get some Pringles now
So glad you enjoyed it. Please do let me know if you give this a go.
I was saving a lot of those cans for a diorama and this might be one of the best videos I've seen to take ideas and advices to do what I was looking for. Thanks!!
Thanks for the kind words. If you take any pictures or video of your build be sure to let me know as I would love to see what you come up with.
@@BridgeMakes sure! I intend to at least take pictures when is done, since I don't normally film the process, but maybe is time to step up!
I loved it, really cool this kind of video, cheap materials and good results, thanks
Thank you João, I'm glad you liked it.
Beautiful work I love the colors together
Why thank you. I hope to get back to making these sorts of things in the near future. BTW I love the username
This is a really great video and is beautifully filmed.
Just finished it I love the roll for friends bit lol
Thanks Washman. I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the sub. I have some more ttrpg builds planed for the future.
@@BridgeMakes i can't wait to see them i love how your reusing and upcoming stuff i do the same thing with my projects
You are so talented
Thank you so much
how many pages of newspaper did you use
anyone got an idea for different insides to make a d4 work in there?
Yes, if you're not bothered about it looking like steps then you can get any rolling object to go through by making it steeper.
The trick to it would be to take something thin like a bamboo rod and attach smooth, that is non-corrugated, cardboard to the outside in steep ramps with small vertical drops every so often to get the dice to tumble rather than just slide. I would recommend 4 spiralling ramps with 3 drops but the number would depend on the size of the tower as well as the size of the d4. Then slide that in to the tower rather than stairs.
If the dice gets stuck then you may need a steeper ramp or to remove gaps between the ramp and the side of the tower. You may run into some issues if you use heavy dice however as a ramp of non-corrugated cardboard will dent more easily than the stacked cardboard used in the steps. You also may have a bit of difficulty angling the last deflector to get the dice to exit the tower.
I do have another design for a dice roller that would work, and I have been meaning to make a video on it but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
Let me know if you have any luck with this method.
Neat!
😀
what the oof is that
It was a Pringles can but now it's a dice tower.
Not really functional onestly
I'm sorry you didn't have much luck with it. Did you follow this tutorial or try another version? I ask because I haven't had any problems with mine and no one else has told me that they have had issues getting theirs to function.
