    Default low profile ball tray

    While it's clear the ball feed tray is designed the way it is, I've never really liked how far it extends and found it unnecessary for how I use my pachis at home (I don't have or need it to hold 2000 balls for extended play) or as a kinetic sculpture.

    So I'm trying a newly designed and 3D printed narrower tray purely for aesthetics. I'm exhibiting these machines a three-dimensional sculptures so the back is as important as the front. Holds about 200 balls.

    Now looking at it, I could widen it a bit more to match the ball-drop tube.

    Being able to mount them tighter to a wall would be great. Anything to reduce that profile would be a bonus. Different machines have different sticky outy bits, but the ball tray is often the biggie.

    3D printing for another win!

    I like your design as well. But does it hold enough balls to keep playing?
