Is It REALLY Free?

[@alviemiller4977]

Joel, Joel, Joel, listen to me for a second you and a couple of other people is half of my inspiration for 3D printing. I love what you do and how you do it you do an amazing job don't ever stop. but I want you to know my four-year-old I was sitting on my lap when I started this video and now he thinks you have super powers which is awesome but when you said help me he sat straight up threw his arms out started grunting just like you and full on 100% helped you pull that tower out of the desk which is absolutely fantastic when your video was done he looked at me and said dad I had to help him. he is always asking me if my robot can make him something and now you are his superhero don't ever stop. we live in the state just below you and if we ever get that way I would love to shake your hand. :)

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Your comment has easily made my day! Please tell your 4-year-old that it was very specifically his help that made that tower appear. I really hope one day we do get to shake hands, my friend!

[@alviemiller4977]

@@3DPrintingNerd My pleasure in fact I am going to download The Dice Tower and print him out one so he can have it and I will have to fire up the SLA and print some dice as well now we have something to do today great day home from school and he says hi hope you have a great day

[@stldenise]

Joel, you’re a nut. 🤣 I’d paint the big one, that blue is way too pretty.

[@tobins6800]

+1 can't say it any better than that.

[@davidjohnson9472]

Don’t glue them!! Paint the big one leave the small one alone it’s an awesome color !!!

[@Chad.The.Flornadian]

It's obvious Sean found some new animation toys he was dying to play with LOL

[@levibro00-i2o]

WTF

[@Zplizor]

Finish the big one, paint and stains , everything

[@yoyojesus]

I think what people forget when it comes to Kickstarter it that basically all of the ones for 3d models follow through compared to the ones for printers

[@Mikowmer]

There's also significantly less wait times. So it's a lot harder to just run away with the money before people start the charge backs. In fact, most Kickstarters that are either digital only or have a digital only tier tend to follow through a lot more than ones that are solely physical.

[@karter61]

Paint the large one. But leave a line of painters tape on one side so you can see what makes it up

[@DwenDooley]

Joel was practicing his filament-bending.... and then the resin nation attacked.

[@Aidenn23]

Lol perfect!

[@TheMidnightSmith]

Underrated comment of the year! This should be pinned!

[@andy-in-indy]

While I like some raw prints, I also love the look of a well designed and printed part with a good point job. With that said, this would be a great crossover with someone who paints scenics. If you don't have someone, hit up Danny from 3D Printed Tabletop and see who he suggests. Let the painter pick which one to paint!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Oooh that’s a great idea!

[@thomaswiley666]

Now all the neighborhood kids are yelling for a 2x Paw Patrol Tower...

[@SytanOfficial]

Please, paint the large one! I think the small one is too pretty to surface, but a print this big, high detail, and high quality deserves some special treatment with a paint job!

[@DarrylAdams]

I would recommend painting the large tower. However I would go all out to paint and weather the model to a prop level. Using drybushing and inks could make this something awesome like a WETA style miniature....

[@olafb.2929]

I can only agree!

[@alexhenry7942]

I think it's some kind of crime to paint the Polyalchemy Elixir. Too pretty. Now I think the giant one would look fantastic painted. Shows what printed parts look like painted, which I know is a cool hobby of some folks.

[@TheShamwwow]

Would love to see the big one fully painted and tricked out. I am right there with you on love seeing the raw plastic of the print.

[@fliptop62deceived95]

With the big one you could paint it all up to perfection and donate it to the children's hospital. With supersized dice of course! Cheers from Australia X1 owner.

[@edd4431]

Paint the tower in the big one, but leave the base black and red. Looks awesome that way.

[@JohnClark-tt2bl]

Definitely paint the large one

[@beangames6679]

what might be cool is if u literally cut the model in half, so u can see the infill inside, but colour the outside of the model. so when u turn it around you can see the hole print processes of the model, like the colours infill and inside of the model. so it shows the amazing printing tech as well as the amazing finishes u can get.

[@vale8653]

Now to print some larger dice to go with the new tower.

[@Ellery-USA]

I'd suggest to paint the large one but don't glue it since it really helps people see the intricacies of how the inside is designed.

[@buildersmark]

That's pretty dang sweet!! Find a center line of the large one and finish one side of it like you did the sword.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

I do love that idea.

[@joenagel6644]

Personally, paint the large one but leave the base alone. Kinda has a volcano/lava mountain vibe to it. And the tower would look great if it was all the same color

[@doondedulin44]

Paint the big leave the small

[@EnnesArms]

“Can we revive dead filament” “Oh shoot! A filament recycler?” [Animation gag] *DANGIT JOEL*

[@3DPrintingNerd]

I APOLOGIZE

[@PGGraham]

Necromancers are just healers with bad timing...

[@Nordic_Rex]

Paint the large one as you can highlight the insane detail work on the model better. Small one also has such a nice filament and it would be a shame to cover that in paint

[@jasonjulian1]

Definitely glue and paint the large one. Weather it... Get that stone looking legit. I'd leave the normal one alone. It's practical useful as an actual dice tower and all in a beautiful filament!

[@chriseastty2874]

Don't paint the small one, the colour is amazing, paint the big one

[@Defender513]

Paint the big one. The little one has a beautiful color.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

I really, really like that blue

[@sgsax]

That level of detail is really impressive, and it scaled up magnificently. Kudos all around to the model designers. Thanks for sharing!

[@akakkluster]

you should definitely paint the big one, it can be terrific with a necromancy theme

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Now THAT seems like a good idea.

[@silasdenny3267]

You need to do a collaboration with DipYourCar KZbin channel and have them paint it big tower in a HyperShift pearl

[@mmavcanuck]

Paint the big, leave the little natural

[@delscoville]

Leave the small one, love the color.

[@MysticGrower]

No glue on either, leave the small one as is, paint the large one.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Keep the pieces and don't glue them?

[@MatiasIbar]

Print and weather the big one, and you can cut the small one as a demo of how infill goes

[@zap117]

paint the big one. the small one looks like a ghost tower and is cool as is

[@stefanejegod8644]

I think the "small" one looks awesome as is, but the large one needs a paint job. Maybe if all had been made fromthe same filament, but those color shifts makes it look not done.

[@PNPRetro]

What if... Joel Telling became obsessed with 2D printers instead? Would his videos end up a little... Flat?

[@cosmo7816]

Paint the large one to match the awesome base

[@BioshadowX]

I can always count on Joel's positive energy

[@MatrixRay19]

Sean likes big prints and he cannot lie.

[@Cornish_Co]

Paint the large one only

[@Tall_Order]

The dice probably escaped because they have more room to bounce with the bigger door opening.

[@dblattert]

how about painting the large one and auctioning it off for charity? i know my weekly rpg group would love something like that.

[@3DMusketeers]

The constipation grunts are wonderful to be used out of context lol! Nice prints Joel! Came out great, honestly I love the grey and red look! That size is absolutely silly!

[@georger4960]

Paint the 2X and print 2X dice too!

[@ireeb]

Defintely leave the small blue one as it is, but I think the large one painted could look so nice

[@3DPrintingNerd]

I really think that the large one with a proper paint job would just be stellar.

[@ireeb]

@@3DPrintingNerd Yesss I think it would make the details pop out even more!

[@hudfreegamer]

paint the large one to look like it's made of stone.

[@MrGerhardGrobler]

Glue and leave as is. The level of 3D sculpting is so amazing!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

The detail is just crazy good!

[@girrisgod]

I printed mine in marble and my lense was forever attached too

[@3DPrintingNerd]

heh, there is NO WAY it's coming off.

[@girrisgod]

@@3DPrintingNerd I feel like it would be something that would get lost and never found until it was reprinted. Then you would have 2 and have to print a whole nother dice tower to balance out the world

[@ouzakuro]

paint the big one and keep the smaller one in its original condition

[@jtcustomknives]

Paint the big one for sure. The blue one is to amazing to cover up

[@3DPrintingNerd]

The shimmer from that blue filament is just crazy!

[@aydenbushman79]

Paint the big one harder but It would look super cool and you don’t want to waste the shiny filament by covering it in paint

[@TheAndyroo770]

Paint the 2x with cool paintjob - chrome effect telescope, moss on brickwork etc!?

[@JH-ix3nb]

Honestly, It would be really cool have one kept apart to see the ingenuity of how parts can be made to fit together like that. Also, what if exchangeable parts were made for the tower to change the environment of where the tower is at (for the base). And maybe it doesn't have to be an observatory but a watchtower?! It could be really cool to see parts made to make the tower like a building that teleports to different locations as though a mage lived in it to move around the world. OR.... The tower is alive with magic and changing locations at will. Dunno that was my take on what to do with it from a fantasy-like vision on the tower.

[@shawnrothman260]

Glue the little one and Paint the Big One! The blue is beautiful as it is, the big one painted would be art....

[@Starbuck7410]

you should paint both, but add a little 1cm thick line where its not painted to show all the layers! you can easily do this with tape

[@ChainsawRosary]

Seeing the large tower made me think that eventually you can probably print your own mini golf obstacles. Fun stuff.

[@georgeaura]

Glue and paint large one

[@Hilmi12]

I heard some prunes can help 😉 by the way, epic print, I love it. Paint the large one and age it.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Bahahahahha

[@thegrafxguy1]

Paint the big one for sure. The color combo is not great, lol. The blue one is beautiful! Glue them both together.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Heh, the larger one colors aren't the worst, but also could be much better :)

[@delscoville]

I printed mine with Sunlu PLA+ Marble. Come out great!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

I bet that looks gorgeous!

[@themixer2000]

I say leave the small one like it is and paint the large one

[@FelishaWild]

The acting on this is first class. Print yourself an award. LOL

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Hahahah many thanks :)

[@Mupshot]

Paint the large one for sure. leave the smaller one alone.

[@maxs-lz4pn]

Seems like he had a really fun time making this, his excitement is definitely contagious

[@hunt0583]

paint the large one. You can paint on more details

[@ugenefindley1335]

Paint the large one, not glued, but! I'd leave the rock base unpainted or only moderately painted enough to keep those cool "hot rocks" look the gray to red created!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

oh wow, that's a fun idea!

[@Loafy23]

Paint the larger one and I see no reason to glue it together. I'd kit the tower out with lighting and a lot of details. There's so much you could do with that model. You could make it a fairytale princess tower or it could be a dark, evil tower, or even clean, royal tower with flags and banners and the whole lot.

[@palamut-dh8jn]

Paint the Big one, the small one is so super nice colour. 💯💯

[@danieledeson2864]

Glue and paint the larger of the two the detailing is phenomenal 😲

[@Certawin]

Dang those are some great prints Joel. My 3 cents, inflation ya know. Would be to paint the large one. Because like everyone else. That Lil one is fantastic the way it is..

[@miningcow]

You gotta attach a smaller one to the big one so when it comes out it goes into the big one

[@mikejohnson9850]

Joel, there is a lot of filament that goes into that tower. it would be better if Mythic Roll would place some voids in the areas so as to reduce the amount of printing time and the amount filament to be used. Feedback for Mythic folks. BTW thanks for all you do for this community of makers and printers. Mike from Bothell!

[@knutehugh]

Okay but why would it even need to be on kick starter?

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Designers looking to build an audience and gain some capital to maybe hire people or get more designs done?

[@GenesisMoss]

Mail the large one to me and I'll paint it! Lol seriously though don't ruin that beautiful filament on the small one with paint!

[@spokehedz]

I think this also needs to be printed in Resin, so we can see all of that glorious detail in that model...

[@richm5276]

They have a resin only file also along with a FDM file to download

[@mechanoid5739]

Paint the big one! The different colours are triggering my OCD!!

[@corrinking6452]

paint the big one, the blue is gorgeous as is. Don't glue, the breakdown feature is good for transport.

[@jeroen9424]

I read their website a little different. I first thought it said my thic roll

[@Houororoiocoaonoe]

You should definitely paint the big one and leave the small one just as that pretty filament.

[@ldomotorsjason3488]

They were already freezing awesome to me, no paint needed.

[@makerjosh9593]

The answer is easy; just print another giant one to paint!

[@donaldlang95]

Wow they are beaatiful, but I would like to see what you can get out of painting the big tower.

[@rcmaniac25]

Nice! Dice towers are fun things. Now roll initiative before painting :P

[@xking3pat]

Hi Do I see a Layer error in the small tower??? ;-) I would like to see you paint the big one. Because I don't believe that you can do it nicely 😀

[@Kittsuera]

well, they both look real good unpainted/ the red at the bottom looks intentional. the tops looks like it was gold by intent, the white looks light white brick. perhaps the green is moss. so if you were to paint it, imo you should exemplify the elements its made of. bring out the base colors as an intended feature.

[@somerandomdragon4655]

dice towers should be kept in separate pieces in case you need to disassemble them to remove stuck dice

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Ooh. OOH good point!

[@moby1387]

What the sense in painting, love the colours, leave them as is they look gorgeous.

[@MakingStuff]

That Polyalchemy Elixir filament looks awesome!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Agreed

[@ottersdangerden]

with all that grunting i woulda thought i had dragonball z on the tv...

[@patrickdugan4395]

Paint the big one!!!!

[@stoneageskillz6194]

Glue both, paint the big one. The samll one is really nice looking as it is.

[@Corn_DOG]

Little one, leave it it's gorgeous! Big one needs painting those colors don't work together (though that black/red base is killer combo). My artist side is pained by some of those color combos

These dice towers are amazing, well designed, I like a lot board games and this will be a great addition for my collection.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Heck yes!

[@ImpossibleLink]

Auction it off and the proceeds goes to a charity for the large dice tower.

[@TBoom8669]

do not paint either, but glue the small one together. Let the big one flaunt what it was made of. :-)

[@Conradblork]

Here's a wild idea, print another and paint that one. That way you can keep the others untouched and appreciate them as is Joel :)

[@TurtleBirdThey]

Paint and glue the biggun, and use the small ose as-is as a travel hire tower
