8 ball shifter toy for kids

<p>Just a toy for the kids to play with. &nbsp;I used PETG but anything would probably work well. &nbsp;The shifter gate and ball are two color prints. &nbsp;The g-code files have timings for the two colors if you scroll down past the thumbnail information. &nbsp;I drilled and tapped the bottom of the ball &amp; used a ¼-20 bolt with some flange washers. &nbsp;Leave it loose so it can slide around. &nbsp;I pulled the shifter gate off the build platform without letting it cool and it warped; I ended up sanding a bevel on the bottom of the shift arm to help ride over the gate edges. &nbsp;Also, I did not use support for the ball, but the bottom of the ball did not come out very good. &nbsp;I think it will depend on how your printer handles overhangs.</p>
