    Question Pachinko from nothing

    Hi, sorry for my english i'm French.

    I came on this forum, looking for people who try to build a pachiko machine with some arduino or rasberry and maybe a 3D print

    But for the moment i don't find any exeperience.
    i don't find any plans or template of existing pachinko or even original.

    i doubt you will find plans for a machine.. they are manufactured for a short life in a parlor and then intended to be recycled. a few live on in the export world..

    you would be best served to find a used machine and build from that..

    and of course

    keep us updated on you project.. im not the only one that would be interested on you project..

    i have always thought a larger machine with more pockets and tulips would be neat..

    I imagine your issue is lack of machines in France. How much does it cost to ship a machine from USA to France? Vintage machines are much lighter than moderns.
    Ideally, one from the '50s. The simplicity will inspire your imagination. Machines from the '60s and '70s are nice and fun...but, more complex.
    From a making one from scratch viewpoint...simpler is probably better!

    I didn't look for import at the moment. But if i look now on Ebay, it cost around 200-500$ for international shipping so it's a little to much for me
    I think in France it's not legal to sell "gambling game" if your not a pro. Thats why there so few machine to buy.

    I already done some research on thingiverse but i found nothing big or complete do make a full build.

    I found some template on: https://makercamp.com/fall2015/pdfs/
    It's a little classic but i maybe try to start like that. The wrong point for me is the luncher. So maybe i'll look for to buy or build this part at first.

    Thanks again for your welcome
