Custom Dungeon Crawler Carl Functional Dice Tower & Diorama 3D Model

Target Medium: 3D Printable Digital Asset (STL/OBJ/3MF format) optimized for FDM and/or multi-material 3D printing (AMS/MMU or painted post-processing).

Key Requirements:
Material: Plastic (Optimized for FDM and/or Resin 3D printing).
Color: Multicolored aesthetic design layout (designed for multi-material printing, segmented assembly, or clean painting demarcation).

Design Theme: Highly detailed diorama and functional dice tower inspired by Dungeon Crawler Carl.

1. Summary & Design Overview

The objective is to create a production-ready, highly detailed 3D printable model of a functional dice tower and diorama. The composition is anchored by a massive antique open book serving as the physical foundation. Resting on the right page is an industrial metal loot box chest overflowing with gold coins, from which a massive velociraptor's head emerges. Carl and Princess Donut are positioned riding the raptor. The structure must function as a true dice tower: dice dropped into the dinosaur's mouth travel through internal randomized baffles and exit through an arched portal onto a recessed landing tray on the book's left page.

2. Dimensional & Structural Breakdown

Component A: The Open Book Base & Landing Tray
Base Structure: An oversized, aged, antique hardcover book lying flat, serving as the master foundation for the entire diorama.

Spine Details: The book spine faces forward, featuring deep, bold, physical raised lettering reading: ANARCHIST'S COOK BOOK.

Left Open Page (The Trap Door Landing Zone):
Features a deep, square-recessed catching tray designed to arrest rolling polyhedral dice.

Embedded into the floor of this recessed tray is physical, raised lettering reading: TRAP DOOR.

The landing zone must remain completely clear of permanent obstructions to allow dice to settle naturally.

Right Open Page: Acts as the flat structural platform supporting the heavy industrial metal chest.

Component B: The Industrial Loot Box & Internal Chute Mechanics

Exterior Shell: A heavy, weathered, riveted metal loot box chest resting squarely on the right book page.

Front Panel Typography & Exit:
Features stacked, physical, raised vertical lettering on the upper face:
Top Line: PLATINUM
Middle Line: SMUSH
Bottom Line: LOOT BOX

At the exact base center of the front panel, integrate a clean, structural 35mm exit arch portal. This portal allows randomized dice to slide out directly onto the left page's Trap Door landing zone.

Internal Chute & Randomization Mechanics:
The interior of the chest and lower diorama core must be entirely hollow, creating a continuous vertical drop channel.

Inside this internal void, model at least three alternating 45-degree slanted baffles (internal ramps). These baffles force dice to tumble, change direction, and randomize as they descend, ensuring true random number generation.

The upper opening of the internal chute connects seamlessly to the base of the dinosaur's neck; the lower termination aligns perfectly with the 35mm front exit arch.

Component C: The Top Characters & Hopper (Mongo, Carl, and Donut)
The Hopper (Mongo the Velociraptor):
Emerging upward from an overflowing bed of detailed gold coins and scattered gemstones packed inside the open top of the metal chest is a massive, scaled velociraptor.

Mongo’s head is thrown back with its jaws stretched open wide in an aggressive gape. This wide-open mouth forms a 40mm top funnel hopper that serves as the entry point where players drop their dice. The interior of the throat must slope smoothly downward into the internal chute.

Carl:
Positioned riding atop Mongo's lower body and emerging directly from the chest.

Attire and features: Wears a denim vest, a face bandana/mask covering the lower face, a heavy spiked gauntlet on his left arm, and distinctive heart-patterned boxer shorts.

Action pose: His left arm is raised, holding a lit bundle of dynamite with a distinct, sculpted burning fuse and flame.

Princess Donut:
Perched securely on Carl's shoulder.
Representation: A fluffy, prize-winning Persian cat wearing a prominent 3-point golden crown.

Component D: Exterior Wall Panels & Inscriptions
Each of the four vertical outer walls of the metal chest features a distinct ovoid raised border panel containing specific text and iconography:
Front Panel: PLATINUM SMUSH LOOT BOX text and the 35mm bottom exit arch.

Right Side Panel: A raised speech bubble containing the exact text NEW ACHIEVEMENT! paired with a detailed crawler skull-and-crossbones achievement icon.

Left Side Panel: A raised speech bubble containing the exact text THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.

Back Panel: A raised speech bubble containing the exact text VIVA LA REVOLUTION.

3. Technical & Manufacturing Specifications
Geometry Standards:
The digital asset must be delivered as clean, watertight manifold meshes (STL or OBJ files).

All text elements (spine titles, page labels, chest headers, speech bubbles) must be physically modeled as raised, protruding geometry (minimum 0.6mm to 1.0mm extrusion height) rather than surface textures or normal maps, ensuring crisp definition for multi-material printing or manual painting.

Modular Assembly Options:
To facilitate clean multi-color printing (such as Bambu AMS/Prusa MMU or easy post-print assembly), the model should be logically keyed and split into modular sub-assemblies where appropriate:
Book Base & Landing Tray
Metal Chest & Internal Chute Core
Mongo Head/Neck Hopper
Carl & Donut Character Assembly
Tolerance & Clearance:

Internal chute walls must maintain a minimum clear width and depth of 35mm to 40mm to prevent standard polyhedral dice (including oversized D20s) from jamming.

Clearance tolerances on keying joints should be set to 0.15mm to 0.2mm for friction-fit or glued assembly.
