This has been recently updated to fix various problems with the original design! You can skip the patch notes if you haven’t already downloaded it prior to this being posted, but just know that the tutorial vid might look slightly different than what you print. Shouldn’t be a problem, though.
Issue 1: Due to the base of the cauldron being too steep, there were reports of supports sticking to the base and being a pain to peel off.
Fix: the base has been flared out to prevent this from happening and to increase surface area contact to the base top.
Issue 2: The plates occasionally would stick up if the levers were hit too forcefully or pushed down too far. The rod would rise up too far, and wedge itself between the plate and the tree.
Fix: The rods have been shortened, preventing the possibility of it rising too high. If you slam it really hard, you might cause the plate to pop off, but normal use should see no problems. I thought about adjusting the hinges of the plates to fit tighter in there, but at present it doesn’t seem worth the trouble of digging through my horribly organized old model.
Issue 3: The design of the levers made it way too easy for them to come undone and slide forward or back in the mechanism.
Fix: The fulcrum design has been redone to trap them in place. As long as the base is closed properly, the levers have nowhere to move.
If anyone has any more issues, let me know! Hopefully I’ve squashed all the bugs…

This is an automatic dice tower designed to roll dice for tabletop games. It contains seven plates on which to place dice (one for each of the dice in a standard set of 7 dice), but they are large enough to accomodate multiple at a time if necessary. Pressing one of the pumpkin buttons at the bottom raises the other side of the lever, which pushes up a rod that tips the plate holding the dice, dumping the dice into the cauldron where they spill out into a pumpkin shaped enclosure.

I wanted to evoke a Halloween theme by presenting the dice as ingredients being cast into a witch's cauldron.

Special printing intructions: I added a filament change on the basetop to make the fence the dice fall into orange compared to the rest of it, but if you have a single filament printer you can do this by adding a pause there and switching out the filament manually.
