Table Soccer Foosball Holder - Customizable

prusaprinters

<p>Holder for table soccer foosballs with 36 mm diameter.</p> <p>Update (April 2020):<br/> I made this thing parametric (see scad file). Therefore you can set diameter of foosball, how many balls to stack, how many columns you want to use and more.<br/> It would be great to see a make, because I didn't made a print of this model myself. Just verified the sliced model to be as expected.<br/> Have fun and happy printing :-)</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>I got a Table-soccer on my birthday - yeah!</p> <p>After assembling it, I figured out that having something nicer than a cardboard box to store all my foosballs would be great!</p> <p>I couldn't find a solution here, therefore I build one :-)</p> <p>It's design for balls with 36mm diameter. Some of my foosballs got slightly bigger diameters it seams, therefore I increased the size of the holes slightly.</p> <p>Notes:</p> <ul> <li>Multicolor MMU2S isn't required. Just used it to give the lower bed (5mm) a different color.</li> <li>I used supports just for the hanging endings, configuring "overhang threshold" to 10 percent. After printing I would recommend using 20%... Might be saver ^^</li> <li>Dimension in mm: 197 x 80 x 80</li> <li>Print time was about 12 hours.</li> </ul> <p>Tools used:</p> <ul> <li>FreeCAD: great tool to design things :-)</li> <li>OpenSCAD: just got started using this one. Its great! ...guess my coding style is improvable though...</li> <li>PrusaSlicer: its getting better and better :-)</li> <li>MMU2S: Working still pretty reliable - great!</li> </ul> <p>Room for improvement:</p> <ul> <li>Add optional wall mount to the model</li> <li>Idea was obviously to pick out the foosballs at the bottom. Actually it is easier to pick them out from top...<br/> Therefore channel could be closed down to the bottom</li> <li>In case you would like to pick out the foosballs from the bottom, it would be easier with kind of openings to it's sides - like it is the case for the corner columns.</li> <li>Height could be reduced. Smaller would work for two balls per column as well...</li> <li>Hmmm, I could put a nice foosball pattern to the surfaces...</li> </ul>
