Semi-Auto - No Touch the Dice - Tower

Roll with diceman… Moderately improved.

Simply push the top and the arm puts the dice back in the tower for your next roll. Can role up to 4 - 1/2" dice. I suppose it could be scaled to handle more or larger dice when sliced and printed.

The axle, gear, and arm are now keyed, little or no glue needed.

Assembly

• Slide outer frame over inner frame making sure it slides the legs into the grooves of the inner frame. Very important to clean up the print so it slides with no hangups. Important for all pieces. • (optional) add 12mm disk magnets to help with return action into sleeve in base on on legs that slide into the base so they repel. A spring could also be used. I tried it without the spring and returns reasonably well though you might have to give it the slightest encouragement without. • Slide the blocks into the slots provided on the inner frame. • Slide inner frame into base. With or without extra spring action. • Slide axle though holes in inner frame. • Slide the pinion gears on axle so they engage the rack at the correct angle for the arm. The picture will give you an idea how to arrange it. • Slide the arm over the axle. You can use glue to secure pieces when completed.
