Summary

I liked the Collapsible Dice Tower by MrParadox224 a lot. It works great, but the original has one drawback: Getting out the dice is fiddly as the box is so small for somewhat larger hands. As the second half of the box is unused, I got an idea:

My design uses the tower from the original "as is" (the STL files are provided here for completeness, but you can also use the originals; so, you print support_wall twice and side 1 and side 2 once each).

The real difference is the box sides. They still can hold the tower, however I added additional holes for magnets also at the side to snap together the two box sides. Also, box side A has an "engraving" on its bottom that exactly matches the dice tower's ground plan when flipped around, so the dice tower does not slide while in use.

The effect is that the dice roll into the larger box in front of the tower where they can easily be picked up.

You can either print one side A and one side B, or if you don't matter the second side having the engraving as well, just print side A two times.

In addition you then need four 8x3mm magnets.
