Since the base is made from some kind of tin, it also makes a satisfying sounds when the dice shoot through!

Face off |
Here's how a Dice Tower is supposed to work, and an example of CNC Workshop's dice tower:

And here are some photos that I found online of Dice Towers that people have made - functional and attractive terrain pieces:
Sync's How-To
Materials:
- Can of Pringles
- Cutting Board
- Stanley Knife
- Marker
- Nail File
- Super Glue
- Spray Paints
Step 1
Take your can of Pringles and eat the deliciousness within. This will give you energy and motivation for the next 12 minutes of construction labour.
Step 2
Using your Stanley Knife, cut the top 3 inches and the bottom 1 inch off the Pringles container (see picture below).
For the rest of these instructions, we'll call the the top 3 inches piece the Top Piece, the bottom 1 inch piece the Bottom Piece, and the remaining middle piece the Middle Piece.
You'll also want to wipe down the insides of the pieces with a damp cloth, to get the extra Pringles flavouring out. If your cuts weren't smooth, use your Nail File to smooth out the cuts on the cardboard.
Step 3
Cut a small section out from the bottom of the Top Piece, 1 inch tall and 2.5 inches wide. Don't worry about being too accurate with these measurements - it's a rough guide.
Hold onto the section you just cut out - we'll be using it later.

Step 4
Now we're going to make the Dice Chute. Use the spare piece from Step 3 to the measure the width of the Chute against the Middle Piece (as below). Now, out of the Middle Piece, cut the Chute - about 3 inches tall, and 2.5 inches wide.
Step 5
Phew! That's all the cutting done. Now, glue the Top Piece to the Bottom Piece (see the pictures below).
I used Super Glue because the points of contact between the two pieces are minimal.
Step 6
Slide your Chute in like so. I should sit with its edges in corners of the section you cut in Step 3.
Again, I used Super Glue for a bit more strength.
Step 7
Put your Pringles Lid back on and you're ready to paint it up and add any other detail you want!
Sync out.
