Summary

Study whole.stl before printing.

You need one of pin0 and 12 of pin.

Make sure to split the bunched-up parts while plating these. (use your slicer or "Split to shells" in Meshmixer)

Note that it might take some heating and bending at the base of the pins to get all the pins pointing straight up. I had to make the holes a bit loose (now requires glue), so I can get pins in and out if they cause a ring to hang and need adjustment/cleaning. So make sure it's 90 degrees before you glue, and of course, glue with the pins inside top.stl. I do it pair by pair.

The original is a great idea but I consider it unprintable, mostly in terms of fragile structures, too much cleaning, and too much material. Also it only spins one way.

(Huh, I guess the whole thing was copied from here perhaps? http://youtu.be/ZqzjAmPFND8 )

(And if you're thinking "dice!", no, sadly it's not very good for dice. I made a static border that snaps on to the top and keeps 3 dice from falling off, but still, the motion is too linear, the dice barely ever turn on a second axis. But I like the way you think!)

If you print it and love it, please do upload a Make! :)
