I may have gotten carried away making boxes for housing dice and D&D miniatures. I have found they make great gifts though. There are two options for the bottoms, preset dice slots and minature area, or split down the middle for just massing items in it whether dice, minis, even just a bunch of nuts/bolts.
These boxes are designed to be magnetic. The corner holes are designed for 6x3 mm magnets, got them on Amazon with 100 pieces for just $13, link added below. They are extremely strong when when all eight are in the top/bottom. The holes are pretty exacting and a dabb of super glue in the hole will make sure they never come out. Word of caution, don't mix up the maget polarity by accident. I would make a column of them and press in with all faced the same direction and slid away when in for the top, then in the bottom rotate the column and press/slide again.
The lids print best when oriented with the lid face down with no supports. They can be printed in other orientations, howevever, from experience if done so slight warping might occur causing not exact fits to the bottoms. That is why I added bottoms with smaller pegs just in case someone attempts this and has that issue. The smaller pegs will accomodate the off top positions. Otherwise the standard orientations and base bottoms fit just right with just enough give.
If you want to added some glued in padding such as felt or soft foam in the top it can keep the dice/minis from rattling.
There are 24 lid options to choose from, some are just fun patterns, others are D&D oriented designs. I particularly had fun with the rune options. The runes around the edge are different classes used in D&D. Among the rune options, I added a "large-rune" option for those that print with their nozzles close to their print bed, because if it's close the resulting squish will make the large letters come out normal sized in the end. If printed with squish and normal sized runes they might be a little thin.
Enjoy!

The prints turned out fantastic on my Prusa Mini+, and the Broken top texture is by far the coolest dice case design I've ever seen or felt.
