I printed 2 of the original "Dice Tower for Vase Mode", and I ended up using duct tape and plaster to fix the ultra thin overhangs and fill the base so it was heavier.
After making the tray...

I improved the tower in a few key ways:
I made it so the walls could be thicker than a single pass by bringing it into blender and stitching together the loose walls and then using the "Solidify" modifier.
I added a 20 mm diameter hole on the bottom for adding plaster to the model.
I added 3 plinko machine spikes to help randomize the dice a bit more.
So in summary:
It is no longer a vase mode print. Print it without supports and maybe slow it down or add supports if you have ugly overhangs with your current filament.
It feels a lot sturdier, and adding plaster makes it feel great.
The tray completes it in a good way.
