Version #3 with textured rock faces is printing now in my new marble PLA.

This dice tower was inspired primarily by my work by multiple artists. However, this model was created from scratch (not a remix) to allow for:
- Printing without supports
- Making it printable on smaller machines
- Disassembly for transport
- The flexibility to have short to freakishly tall towers
To print, start with the base, top, and then the battlement. You can later print as many middle sections as you like, each one adding 60 mm to the height, and rotating the battlement 96 degrees.
WARNING: The "segments" do not require supports however, the two "complete" models should not be printed as-is. Supports are required for the battlement (because of its flat roof) and because it is a closed mode, you will not be able to get inside of it to remove any supports you may add. I included them here so as to demonstrate the different options. That being said, they have been successfully printed without support, relying on the PLA to bridge the gap and eventually create a solid roof/floor.
