The Hollow Root Dice Tower Book looks like an elegant forest-themed book at first glance, but when you open it up, it reveals a full dice tower built into a detailed forest scene with roots, textures, and depth throughout.
This model prints in seven pieces and is designed to glue together cleanly and seamlessly. I used 6x3mm magnets to keep the book shut, giving it that satisfying open-and-close feel.
Everything is designed to be support-free.

The Filament I Used
Book Cover- Black Walnut Filament – https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/pla-wood?id=43075831955592
Tree and Inner Wall Roots- Basic Brown – https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/pla-basic-filament?id=40475106967688
Pine Trees- Matte Dark Green – https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/pla-matte?id=41884210233480
Background on Dice Tower- Matte Green – https://a.co/d/00S4Or8y
Outer Page- Beige – https://a.co/d/0e0HONMa
I tested a bunch of different greens and browns on this one, and honestly a lot of combos look great. Definitely play around with it.
Print Settings
Layer Height: 0.20mm
Walls: 2
Infill: 5% Gyroid
Supports: None
Important Notes:
I recommend sticking with 2 walls on the book cover to keep the hinge tolerances working properly.
In my 3MF file, brims are turned off, but I added small “ears” for adhesion.
If you’re slicing this yourself, I recommend doing the same, or turning on brims for thinner parts like the Book Cover and Outer Page.
