If You Need A Laugh - Dice Funnel for Secret Rolls

Over the holiday I made a "dice funnel" to let me players roll their own secret checks. It was an I'm bored and I am not going to do real work project. Basically, the players throw the d20 into the funnel and tells me their modifier, it drops it gently down into my cardboard dice tower, and finally into a tray on my staging table. After the roll I hand it back down the table. Seemed fun, so I kept it up for one session for each game. Now the players are unanimous that it should stay. They are never unanimous on the first take. Jokes on me. They also say the polka dots (the oldest bed sheet we had) have to stay. No eye of sauron for me.

Context: In PF2e when a character would not immediately know the result of a skill check (e.g. stealth) it is a secret roll and the GM is supposed to roll for the player. On VTTs the player hit roll, but sees ?? on the dice, in person I didn't have a solution.
