Table Top Bowling

thingiverse

A complete bowling set consists of lane pieces, backstops, magnets in pins, last lane, pins, balls, ramps for aiming, and push sticks for precise targeting. This is an enjoyable game suitable for families with children. You can print as many lane segments as needed to create a more or less challenging experience. The lane pieces are designed to interlock seamlessly, eliminating any worries about lining them up correctly. I have strategically placed holes in the bottom of the pin-setting/backstop and under each pin. These holes are specifically intended for 3mm diameter x 1.5 mm thick Neodymium magnets. This setup makes it effortless to line up the pins perfectly every time. While lining up the pins without magnets is manageable, the magnets significantly simplify the process. It's essential to note that you should print each lane segment, including the pin-setting/backstop and "launchpad" segments, on their top surface. This orientation will result in a smooth bowling surface for the ball to glide across.
