Introduction
Want to make your game nights more fun and stylish? A wooden dice tower is the perfect way to add a touch of craftsmanship to your tabletop games.
It guides your dice through a series of ramps, ensuring fair, random rolls every time while looking great on your table.
In this tutorial, we’ll walk you step by step through designing, laser-cutting, and assembling your own wooden dice tower. You’ll create a tower that’s not only functional but also a beautiful addition to your gaming setup. Gather your friends, roll the dice, and enjoy the game like never before.
Before your work begins
Clean the lens and mirrors
Check the laser head and nozzle for dust or buildup
Ensure ventilation and air assist are working properly
Confirm the machine is running smoothly and normally
Operational Process
STEP01
Prepare & Position the Material
Select a wood sheet suitable for laser cutting and place it flat on the laser bed.
Secure it with pins or clamps so it doesn’t shift during engraving and cutting. Be mindful of the height of magnets and pins. If they are too tall, the sensor might hit them and become damaged during processing.
STEP02
Import & Adjust the Design File
Import the wooden dice tower design in LaserMaker and check if your basswood size is large enough.
Double-check everything, and decide if you want to add or subtract elements according to your preferences. For the engraving and cutting layers, make sure each layer uses the correct parameters before sending the file to the machine.
STEP03
Set the Correct Laser Focus
Proper focusing is essential for achieving crisp engravings and smooth cuts. If your machine supports auto focus, a single click will set the correct distance for flat wooden boards. If you prefer manual focus, use the focus stick to adjust the laser head until it touches the surface of the wood at a perfect vertical angle.
STEP04
Start Engraving & Cutting
Use the Frame function to outline the engraving and cutting area. Make sure the projected frame matches your wood sheet and the design stays within the material boundary.
Once everything is set, start the laser job. Stay close to the machine while it’s running and watch the cutting and engraving progress. Keep an eye out for excessive smoke, small flame-ups, or any movement of the material that could affect the outcome.
STEP05
Post Processing
Once the laser job is complete, carefully remove the wooden pieces from the bed. Align the walls, ramps, and base tray according to your design, then fit the interlocking tabs together carefully.
Make sure the ramps are correctly positioned to allow smooth dice rolling. You can lightly sand joints if necessary to improve the fit. Once assembled, your wooden dice tower is ready for game night.
Come and Try!
I’ve finished my wooden dice tower—now it’s your turn! Imagine the satisfying sound of dice tumbling down ramps you created yourself, and the smiles it brings at game night. Whether you stick with a classic design or add your own engraved patterns, every tower tells a story. Grab your wood, fire up the laser cutter, and see how creative you can get—you might just make the most talked-about accessory on the table.
