Description

This is a desktop pinball for your moments of pause from work or study. It works best with an 8mm metal ball, but a 7mm one is also fine. I added an 8mm printable ball anyway.

 

The goal is to make the ball reach the lowest left corner. You can play alone and try to beat your own record, or you can play with another person sharing the same pinball or by 3D printing a second piece.

The pinball has two levers: the main, longer one launches the ball, and a smaller one can deflect the ball's path in various ways as it can be both pushed and pulled. There's also a tabletop base for the pinball, tilted exactly 6.5 degrees, just like real pinball machines!

 

This pinball doesn't require supports: once printed, you just need to cut the included supports under the two levers (as shown in the pictures).

Can you make a file for the ball and also does it have a spring built in

Hi, I uploaded a 8mm ball file. The lower arm of the pinball acts as a spring. Check the photos to see how it works.

Awesomesauce. Would be great if the balls auto reloaded with a slanted bottom level or something to that effect, but I remember having to reset the ball manually as a kid so it rings true to the classic toy. Great design.
