Desktop Skee-Ball
🕑 Added 2024-02-05 18:08:47 +0000 UTCDesktop Skee-Ball is not only a super fun desktop game, It's the best way to procrastinate. This is the most fun desktop game I've made so far, and it's definitely the coolest looking as well. It's also very aesthetic and can be printed in colors to match your setup. These make great gifts but can also be sold for a profit.
Components you'll need to order. All of these should be on Amazon Prime. These are the exact same components as desktop golf.
1. The Balls: 1/4" Steel Ball Bearings (Amazon)
2. The Magnets: Small Round Magnets (Amazon)
3. The Tube: 3/8" ID, 1/2" OD PVC Clear Vinyl Tubing (Amazon)
--Assembly Instructions--
Everything goes together in an intuitive way. However, here are some instructions on assembly.

What are the angles on the cover and machine base? I'm not sure my printer can handle them without supports.

It goes into the hole in the machine base to secure the bottom cover.

Everything I’ve ever printed has been exclusively PLA!

Is PETG required for the spring part? Or have you had success with PLA. I only ask cause from the photos it looks like PLA om the spring for every model beside the bowling spring.
