D&d dice box - 8 dice, with miniature 3D for print

I play a lot of D&D 5e, which involves rolling two d20s a lot for the advantage/disadvantage mechanic.... So... I wanted a spot in my dice box for another d20!
While I was at it, I drew inspiration from the similar box by Hackschnitzel, which added room for a figure. I probably would have just used that design, but it's too big for the tiny 120mm cube print area of my 3D printer.
While figuring out a good way to lay out the compartments for 8 dice instead of 7, I added a space for an average-sized miniature in the middle.
Finally, I wanted something a little cooler than just a painted logo, so I came up with a plastic inlay that (with some effort!) press-fits into the recessed logo on the lid.
Also posting the Sketchup file from my design, in case anyone cares to make changes.
Happy gaming!

Notes:
Print the lid with... some supports underneath so you can have the logo side up on the print, it looks nicer! The other parts shouldn't need any supports. If you are printing on a small square print bed (like I was), you might need to yaw rotate the pieces 30 degrees to fit. The lid fits really tightly on the base, and can shrink a bit during printing; depending on your printer and material, you may wish to scale up the lid+inlay a tiny tiny bit on the XY plane.

Magnet Closures
The magnets for the closures on this box are flat circular disc magnets, 6mm wide by 3mm tall. I bought [these magnets](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077LCCGMM/) for this build, they're pretty strong and cheap. I just press-fit them, but you could superglue them if you wanted. The tolerances on the magnets I bought weren't super great, so for some of the holes I scraped out a bit of the inner diameter of the holes with an exacto knife. Press fitting works well with the flat side of a butter knife handle, or on top of a stone countertop. Takes a bit of elbow grease.
Inlay
I printed the inlay with a brim around it, but if I were to do it again, I'd probably skip the brim and just caaaaarefully pry it off the build plate, as-is. Like the magnets, you could superglue the inlay, but if it fits well you shouldn't strictly need to.
