World's Smallest Pinball Machine

I conceptualized this project as part of ME 1770 at Georgia Tech, keeping in mind the unique capabilities of SLS 3D printing. To achieve that goal, the model pinball game features intricately designed spring components which dynamically propel both the actuator and the pinball launcher into motion. The final prototype was successfully manufactured using Fine Polyamide PA 2200 (Nylon) and thoroughly tested to confirm its functionality is intact. When building it, I specifically utilized a precision-crafted 5/32'' bearing ball as the pivotal component that embodies the pinball itself. In order to ensure the design process remained streamlined, I also generated comprehensive sets of both SolidWorks and STL files for convenient use by others. Furthermore, a meticulous rendering was prepared, serving as an illustrative guide, while inviting others to freely duplicate or modify this concept as per their specific needs and desires.
