I love arduino projects! Sooo, I'm sooo thinking about making this, but then placing sensors to record the score :D Oh man...got my creative juices flowing :D
could use an ATTiny85 with multiple LDRs. Could set up in a resistive array so that only 1 pin needed to read the ball passing by each sensor. Can use an i2c display for the score. Pins left open for buttons to do various functions. This will be my goal. :-) I've printed the putting green and my step son loved it!
Love this and I'm looking forward to giving out lots of your games to family! One questions: the instructions mention a Release Lever, which I don't see in the downloadable files. I do have a Nail, but it doesn't fit in the hole. Can you check that for me? Those little balls are hard to get out of the bottom of the Launcher otherwise! Thanks!
I love these designs and am printing several for my students to use as a fun enrichment activity and for other teachers. My desks have 40mm thick tops though and the clamp on games don't fit that, is it possible to just tweek the designs to fit a 40mm desktop?
Are there separate files for the rings and hole board for people that don't have multi color printers? I feel as though printing them in one color will will take away from the quality of game play
I work at a shared desk and can't do any modifications. I would still love to play this during down time.
Is there a way to set this up for a small area? I used to play this in the 80's and still love the game.
You might be able to support it so that it sits on the desk instead of being clipped to the side. It really needs to be flush for the ball to jump properly.

This will be so cool to see

I don’t see the release lever, how do I get that file?
Thank you! I just added it. I appreciate your patience. It is also in the desktop golf model.
HI do you know where was the release lever added I do not see it in the files ?
I just added it. I apologize for the wait! It was also in the desktop golf game.
As mentioned above, there is no release lever file and what is the nail for?
The release lever in the golf version works for this one.
The nail goes in the top hole on the machine piece to hold the pieces together.
The release lever has been added! Somehow missed it when uploading, sorry about that!

i was having trouble glueing the tube so i updated this model to help with that :) https://thangs.com/file/1300223?activeBottomTab=files
The assembly video is for the disc golf, do you have one for skee-ball
The video should take you to skee-ball. Let us know if you're still having trouble. :)
Why do you put the magnets in?
The magnets hold the ball in the launcher! Makes it more fun

You can do a filament swap! Heres a tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTnN-2TxhMg
