Pinball Ball Standin

Create a pinball simulation model that uses a lightweight 27mm plastic ball without compromising its authenticity and functionality for entertainment or hobbyist purposes. This model mimics real-life pinballs without weighing down on performance due to excessive material, serving as an innovative alternative or just something fun to play with! If you're captivated by the realm of pinball and interested in learning about how 3D printed parts can enhance the game experience, check out my brand new blog at http://3dwingmaster.blogspot.com/, which delves into my personal quest to design a functional pinball using mainly components manufactured via a 3D printer. Below you'll find step-by-step directions for creating this delightful simulation model: First, print two units from the STL files provided. To achieve a smoother round shape, consider utilizing a low layer height of about 0.1mm or 0.15mm during printing. For a truly lightweight pinball ball that moves easily on the playfield without hindering gameplay due to excess weight, aim for 40% fill material usage in your print settings. Conversely, if you prefer a slightly heavier version, you can increase fill material up to 90% or even reach full density at 100%. Now, securely assemble both sides of the ball by bonding them together using a high-quality super glue, which will not only strengthen the construction but also provide a long-lasting bond between the components.
