Made a dice box in OpenSCAD (www.printables.com)
submitted 1 week ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

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.

Thank you! It was a lot of fun.

Looks awesome. I use openscad quite a bit, but if I want a car program with sketches I use freecad which I think has Linux and Mac versions

Thanks! Someone else suggested freecad recently as well. I've been meaning to check it out!

It's a bit fiddlier than fusion but if you learned openscad I'm sure you can deal with the oddities
