Description

A tiny portable pool table.

The table acts as a case for the legs, cues, balls and rack.

 

I used regular 1.75mm filament for the hinge pins.

 

In the included profile, there is only one solid colour ball and one striped ball. Rather than created 16 different plates in the profile, I've only included one plate of each type of ball, and you will have to change the colour for each one.

On top of a regular pool cue and granny stick, I have included something I'm calling the Auto Shot Cue. This cue uses three 5mm x 3mm magnets. One at either end of the cylinder portion of the handle and the third in the cue itself. See the pictures below for proper polarity orientation.

 

The idea of the cue is that when you pull it back, the magnet at the back of the cylinder will repel the cue forward while the the magnet at the front pulls it forward at the same time. You can see a demonstration of the Auto Shot Cue in the second video below.

 

 

 

ORIGIN:

After making Joe Turner's Chess Ring, a reddit user challenged me to make a pool table ring. I quickly set out to make a tiny pool table, but I wanted it to be playable just like the chess ring. It was pretty evident that would be impossible in ring form so I dropped the ring, added tiny, removable legs and that's how Pocket Pool was born.

Ok, so there's a problem with the hinges at the top part. There's 2 protrusions at the bottom of the lid/table but although they align with the hinges of the bottom, they don't align the top with the bottom/ Is it possible the file for the top is the wrong one?

I can't believe the top was uploaded without hinges, I'm sorry about that. The protrusions that you see are actually for the latch to keep the lid closed when it's assembled. You're absolutely right, the wrong Top was uploaded. When modelling the table, I created the hinges separate from the Top and clearly didn't export them along with the Top. Raw files and profile have been updated and if I did this correctly, users who have already downloaded the model will be notified. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
