FAIR WARNING:This file comes with 2 types of build:

1.)FLAPS WITH MECHANISM: it's a more advanced and complicated Build and is only advised for makers not afraid to get frustrated. The mechanism to align the pinion to the racks takes skill anddepends on the quality/tolerance of your printer. (some sanding may be required)

2.)FLAPS NO MECHANISM: Simpler build where the flaps can open manually orbe glued in place. In all versions, the flaps need to be free to swivelif you want to have the Flap have more friction, I suggest to print them (just the flap)2-3% Smaller so the hole will also shrink (Disclaimer: I have not tried this)

BOTH files come with the iris mechanism that allows you to drop any 28mm Figure onyour wargaming table. Alternately it can be used as a dice tower of sorts by placingyour dice inside, shaking them, and using the mechanism to spews them out.

Dimensions:

• Height: 110mm
• Drop pod Hole Diameter: 30mm - Perfect for 28mm base figure
