This is an automatic dice tower designed to roll dice for tabletop games. It contains seven plates on which to place dice (one for each of the dice in a standard set of 7 dice), but they are large enough to accomodate multiple at a time if necessary. Pressing one of the pumpkin buttons at the bottom raises the other side of the lever, which pushes up a rod that tips the plate holding the dice, dumping the dice into the cauldron where they spill out into a pumpkin shaped enclosure.

I wanted to evoke a Halloween theme by presenting the dice as ingredients being cast into a witch's cauldron.

Special printing intructions: I added a filament change on the basetop to make the fence the dice fall into orange compared to the rest of it, but if you have a single filament printer you can do this by adding a pause there and switching out the filament manually. Supports are advisable on the cauldron itself, as the exit hole and base have some steep angles that may be hard to print cleanly otherwise. I did not use supports and paid the price.
