3D model description

After a hard night working, it's time to celebrate Christmas morning alongside Old Saint Nick with some North Pole Bowling!

This holiday season, challenge your friends and family to a game of tabletop bowling.

Print and assemble the bowling lane to any length desired and align Santa Claus as you knock down those pins with precision. Choose between a snowman, elf or penguin pin, or a mix of all three. Push the ball into Santa's glove, rotate the arm back, then flick the handle and watch the ball fly.

It takes some practice and skill to determine the right amount of force to push down on the handle. Too much and the bowling ball flies upward; too little and it's in the gutter. Either way it’s great fun.

Update 12 / 17 / 2023: I've included single peg STL files for the bowling lane labeled:
"Bowl Lane_Small Peg_Single"
"Bowl Lane_Large Peg_Single"

If this model brings you holiday cheer, then head on over to my Facebook page to view my other 3D designs and prints: https://www.facebook.com/ScenestruckArt

If there are any problems with the models, please let me know. Constructive feedback is always welcome.

3D printing settings

FDM tested (Ender 3 V2 Neo). Files sliced through Prusaslicer 2.6.1.

Recommend using glue for the bowling ball and "Bowling Lane_Paddle Platform".

The pegs for the bowling ball are meant to align the pieces as you glue them together. When ready, pinch the ball onto Santa's Glove. If you're having trouble getting the ball to hold, apply a tiny dap of white glue inside the glove hole and let it settle before using.

Recommend you have a printer with a 200mm x 200mm bed (minimum). The bowling lane pieces are quite large (scale down all pieces at your own discretion).

The files "Bowling Lane_Begin-Half" and "Mid-Half" are smaller sections of the "Full" files. These allow you print the bowling lanes vertically to avoid the base warping.

The longest peg in the "Bowl Lane_Pegs" file is for holding the paddle platform together.

FDM settings:

Print Temp: 200 - 205 C
Bed Temp: 60 -65 C
Layer height:0.12mm - 0.20mm
Infill: 3 - 10%
Supports: yes (tree supports work)
Speed: 40 - 85 mm/s

Filament (all PLA):

Esun: Light Blue, Very Peri Purple, Light Brown
Creality: Rainbow, Orange
Anet: Red
Flashforge: Pink
