Lever Jacks! The 3D Printed Jacks Game!

prusaprinters

<p>This is a 3D printed version of the well known Jacks game. Jacks involves a rubber ball and some easily grabbed token pieces. You throw the ball in the air, pick up as many tokens as you can, and catch the ball before a certain number of bounces.</p> <p>3D prints do not make the best bouncy balls, so I created something just as fun, but with an alternate play style. In this version, you load the ball into a tube, bunch down on the associated lever, that lever sends the ball flying, and then you pick up as many pieces as you can before catching it.</p> <p>Simple fun, for all age appropriate adults and children.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>There are three ways to print this. The is NO need for supports.</p> <p>Option 1: Use the STLs and create your own gcode.</p> <p>Option 2: Use the all-pieces-pla.gcode file to print the entire game in one go. This is meant for PLA.</p> <p>Option 3: Use the ball-pieces-pla.gcode, frame-pieces-pla.gcode, and set-of-jacks-pla.gcode files to print the game parts in different colours. This makes it more fun for kids.</p>
