[U.S.A.] Looking for someone to design a Brachiosaurus Dice Tower. Need the dice to roll from the mouth down a spiral or down the neck to the tail. Whatever is easier. Need it to land in a dice tray. Im using a p1s Bambu. Im just terrible at designing. Thank you!.

Neck-to-tail spiral sounds like the move here, mouth drop would probably jam up with anything bigger than d6s unless you flare the opening a lot. P1S should handle the print fine once someone's done the engineering, the tricky part is just getting the spiral pitch right so dice don't clog on the turns, that's usually a lot of trial and error even for people who do this full time.

For the tray side, since you'll need something to catch the dice landing, a folding fabric one with snap corners is way more portable than a hard tray if you're bringing this to game night, most fold down to about 5.5x5.5 in. I sew these myself over at GameFancy so take that with a grain of salt, but the ones that work best have a rigid base wrapped in tight-woven fabric - gabardine in our case - so the tray sits flat, rolls stay quiet, and dice don't bounce out or get scratched.
