A tiny pinball machine!
And it works (at least as far as it can work on this scale).
This is as small as I could make it regarding the pp3dp's limitations and the function.
It's all a bit close together, but still has multiple features:
-Two flippers
-Edges resembling Slingshot bouncers which block the direct way to the targets
-2 Targets wich slide out to indicate score
-Two bumper on an axis and unsemetric center so they bounce (bump) back
-Ball plunger (flick up to get the ball back into the game)
At this scale, at least with this material and this printer, a spring and other components where not possible.
If you have any other ideas, please share! I'dd also like to see a larger version with more gimmicks.
Files include:
STL
Printing files
Sketchup/SKP:
-A Previous, larger version
-Multiple versions/orientations for printing in one piece or as assembly set
NOTE: 3D pictures lack some minor modifications which I added later on.
TODO:
Under-board to the indicators
Indicator need to be thicker to not slide out
More play on axis
Perhaps use BB instead of plastic ball
thicker plunger base
More room (upside) for the bumpers
NOTE:
Colored version is just an example. I will print the edited version and paint the parts prior to assembly... some day.
