V3 description:
Increased the size, added bars on all the windows to keep dices from jumping out of them
V2_1 description:
Added windows, resized the entrance.
This in my opinion this improved the look even more.

I've also made a dice catcher to fit onto the front of the tower:

I haven't test printed this yet, so I don't know how well it'll fit onto the tower.

This time I found this thing https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:751718 and took inspiration from it. I decided to totally redo the tower and make it circular with a spiral staircase. It's also smaller, easier to throw dice into and faster to print. IMO it also looks better than V1.

To do: Add brick texture, add windows going up the staircase, add modular base to catch the dice coming out of the entrance.

I saw all the other wonderful dice towers on thingiverse, so I set myself a challenge to design one myself.
This is the result of 4-5 hours of not knowing what I'm doing.
Check the other towers out though, some of them have some pretty neat functions like fold up hitten compartments.

The distance between the shelves is 25mm, so you can use pretty big dice with it, you can also resize it in the print utility if for some reason you use gigantic dice.
UPDATE: the thing printed great, but I feel like it's too big and not actually very user friendly. I also feel like the design could be improved upon with a nicer looking tower and a dice receptible that covers the entire top of the thing.
