Made a dice box in OpenSCAD (www.printables.com)

I was having a hard time finding a dice box that fit my slightly larger than normal dice, so I made my own! It uses magnets to stay closed, and the top acts as a dice tray for rolling.

I'm pretty basic with my cad skills. I learned OpenSCAD out of spite after fully getting off of windows a while back, and thus losing access to Fusion360. I tried to made this as parametric as possible, with the ability to adjust for different sized dice and magnets controlled by variables at the top of the file.

I'm sure there are things in the code that are not optimal, but the model works really well and I have been using this for a while. Figured I'd post it online and share here as well.

Very nice achievement, favoring and stimulating FOSS use. OpenSCAD no less.
