Board game dice holders #1
Back in 2017 I did some work for TinkerBot games www.tinkerbotgames.com to create a dice holder concept.
The aim was for it to be 3D printable or available in a format for production.
Working from concept sketches I then put together a 3D model in Blender using a mixture of sculpting and mesh building. Primarily mesh building as I still need to improve with sculpting.
Final model design. It is fairly stable, with the flat feet and in that the hands would prevent tipping over, but it did still wobble.
Examples with different dice types positioned.
Snapshot from Blender testing out a different platform for holding the dice.
Concept render without the section for holding the dice.

Playing about and created a Tron-like wallpaper for myself.
Final design test 3D print.
I can't remember how long it took, but I do know I ran out of filament halfway through and had to switch to a different colour.
