Story

Step 1

The first thing I made was the wooden housing. Then I decorate the body.

1 / 2

I glued the body of the game table.

Step 2

After that, it was necessary to strengthen the housing wall qualitatively. I used glue, nails and screws.

1 / 4

This action can be done either now or later, but I did it at first. I glued down the right side. I measured the height - it was 13 cm, and the lowest part body - 11 cm. The higher the slope, the more difficult you will run the iron (or another material ball). The body length received 50 cm.

1 / 3

Invisible player hardware component.

Designing and painting most of the board.

Step 3

1 / 3 • Production of some of the details on the 3D printer.

Opening holes on the upper platform. I have made but not yet connected the first actuator.
