3D Printed Mini Pachinko/DIY Pachinko
I'm in a middle of a restoration on one of my vintage machines, but I'm never one to only have a single project at a time. DIY pinball is becoming a thing, so why not DIY pachinko? The machines are much less complicated and take up a whole heck of a lot less space.
I'm starting small though, very small. I've designed and printed a small sort of proof of concept mini-pachinko game. It's mostly just to get sizes figured out and what's possible with the printer. It uses standard sized pachinko balls and even makes a pretty decent pachi noise when the balls bounce off the pins. I'm thinking of eventually expanding on this first one and making it modular. Next step is probably just lost ball collection and pay out in the form of returning the ball. Eventually maybe even make a shooter mechanism for it, though I am a bit limited on my print size. I'm willing to hear any suggestions you guys might have as well.
The file is available on Thingiverse if anyone is interested. I have a video and a picture there as well: Mini Pachinko by EhisforAdam - Thingiverse
