Foldable Dice Tray (print in place) (portable)

thingiverse

UPDATE: Printed the new version and added felt (cloth) for the bottom and used the clamps to attach it. I've used m3 screws and washers. they need to be 6mm or longer (irc max 15mm length) The reason for the colorfull print is simply because i used some leftovers spools to print this version UPDATE: there was a design error in the hinge stops making it impossible for the hinges to rotate. I've replaced it with the fixed file (and im printing it now to see if anything else goes wrong). The other tray without the stops works perfectly. Title says it all. Its a dice tray that you can fold. I've designed the hinges such that they are printed in place, hence the entire structure is one print. If you want to add cloth or leather or whatnot as bottom I've added 'cloth holders' these use m3 screw and washers which you can insert into the tray. There are two versions of the tray. - Dice Tray: this one is really meant as foldable fence without a cloth (even though the holes are there) this because the hinges rotate a bit too far - Dice Tray Hinge stops: this one is specifically designed to span cloth beneath as the hinges are limited in moving outward. I have not created it yet so no pics yet. Will come in the near future. Overall a fun project as I wanted to test out print in place hinges. NO SUPPORTS are required. Adding supports will most likely result in an unusable result!! One last thing: when the thing is printed you can try to wiggle and cut a bit at the openings in the hinges (although I don't think its necessary) and then apply 'modest force' to fold the hinges. You should hear a loud 'snap' (this is where the support in the hinges breaks). After that the hinges should move freely
