Pegs and Dice Game (just one die) using Threaded Container

thingiverse

Update 3: 12/23/2021 Added optional lid to use quarters. Also added new base without internal pillars since the only lid slot that allows a coin to pass though is slot 6. That should print faster. Both bases (pillar and non-pillar versions) work with all coin lids but the peg lid needs the base with internal pillars. I also made the slots closer to the perimeter and increased the size of the numbers so the internal part of the number 4 and 6 adhere to the bed without bridges. Update 2: 12/23/2021 Added optional lid to use dimes or pennies instead of pegs. I like the fit of dimes a little better than pennies but either coin type will work. The 1 through 5 slots are shorter than the diameter of either a dime or penny so the coins won't fall through those slots. Slot 6 is long enough for a dime or penny to fall through however. I will probably make a base that doesn't have the internal pillars and is a little shorter since the coins will not fall through the lid except for slot 6 making the base pillars obsolete which will speed up printing. No base pillars will also make the thread alignment between the base and lid irrelevant. A shorter base will also make it easier to carry. -- Update 1: 12/21/2021 I printed this fully and found that because I smoothed out the threads since my original test print that the lid turned an extra 38 degrees before tightening up against the base so I made a new lid to correct for that (Dice_Game_Lid_v3.stl). I also separated the base (Dice_Game_Base_v2.stl) and lid into their own stl files. Lastly, I added connecting bridges to the inside of the numbers 4 and 6 on the lid so that the inside of those numbers would stay adhered to the bed and print properly. I printed everything at 0.28 layer height without a brim. I printed the pegs in several groups of (5) oriented vertically and they adhered to the bed fine without using a brim. I also added a die with 0.4mm deep divots based off: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5170067 that I printed at 100% infill at 0.20 layer height/ Enjoy! -- I liked gerykelf's the dice game at: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5168781 and I decided to create a round version based on a threaded container. This remix leverages the container design found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3826892 I have printed a portion of my design (0.28 layer height) to test the threads and alignment of the base and lid and since made minor tweaks. I believe this will work fine as it is but have not printed it yet (update: I have printed now and posted final adjustments). The Z seam on the base and lid can make the threads stick so lightly sand the z-seam and/or work the base and lid back and forth about 1/6 of a turn each way for about a minute or two to wear the threads in so they operate smoothly without jamming (update: I smoothed out the threads and the threads worked smoothly off the print bed). gerykelf's rules: "All you will need besides the printed parts is a common die with 6 sides. Each person takes the same amount of sticks (we used to play with 5 sticks/ each player). The player throws a die to get a number and places one stick into the numbered hole. If there is already a stick in the hole, the payer takes it out and adds it to their remaining sticks. Then comes the next player. The hole for number 6 is hollow. So upon throwing number 6, the stick goes into the box and doesn't come back for the duration of the game. If you got number 6, it is your turn again. The winner is whoever is the first to have no sticks left." Happy Holidays and Enjoy!
