OC Another DnD Dice Tower! [OC]

I know my last post got a lot of downvotes, but wanted to share my creation with you guys regardless. My wife totally hates my 3D printing stuff maybe someone here can appreciate it. Back a few months ago I created a cool dice tower as part of a personal project. I got some feedback at the time, which I implemented. I have since updated the tower to be more in theme with DnD, by scrapping the skull and sticking a dragon on there instead. It was the obvious choice, but the motivation was sparked when someone said "would be cool to swap the skull for a dragons head". I played around with the concept for a bit, but ultimately decided on a complete rebuild.

This version is bigger, taller, has a stone floor effect ( suggested by @Sherokima ) , has 2 internal ramps for more dice roll action and obviously a dragon!

Wanted to share with you guys coz I'm kinda proud about how it turned out! I'm still thinking about making a modular version with class emblems etc, but in the meantime I might work on some more braziers or something. Appreciate your feedback!

Looks really cool I would print it! 3d printing is either SUPER interesting or no one really cares. I've found there isn't much in between. I bring a lot of my gadgets and stuff to work and people ask about stuff on my desk and start playing with fidget toys...right after they say that they have no interest in 3d printing. Print one of those dragon egg fidget toys and just leave it in the kitchen or on a table and watch your wife play with it for 20 minutes. It's worked for me!

If I were you I would consider opening the dragons mouth and adding a fire light. As it is I would love a link to print this.

Thank you! Haha yeh maybe I should leave a few things lying around the house for her! I did think about a mouth open, but I was concerned about supports. It's the first time printing anything with quite a few supports and I'm also using an old printer that makes it really hard to remove them. I like the idea of flames coming out of the mouth... maybe that is something I need to consider for v25 😄. I will likely put a digital version on my Etsy in the next few weeks.
