Rolling Balls Puzzle Game

prusaprinters

<p>The aim of the game is to sort all balls by color.<br>The game has the same structure on the front and back, thanks to the middle piece, the balls can be transported from right to left and from front to back.<br>You need <strong>4 screws M3x16-20</strong> and <strong>2 screws M3x6-18</strong>.<br>Also <strong>superglue</strong> to glue the balls together.<br>Since the balls have to be very round, I recommend printing the multi-part balls. If you have a resin printer or a very good component cooling, you can also print one of the two alternative balls.<br>The front and back parts have <strong>built-in support</strong> structures that are simply removed by hand after printing.</p><p>Assembly instructions follow below.</p><p><strong>Dimensions: 134x125x30</strong></p><p><strong>If you like check out </strong><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/38556-extrutim/prints?o=liked"><strong>my other designs</strong></a><strong> too!</strong></p><h3><strong>Assembly:</strong></h3><figure class="image image-style-align-left image_resized" style="width:55.65%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/74302/rich_content/1d42b6ac-1972-4b9d-89f6-0942fb5bfb55/a2.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22d162e540-7352-4dad-9789-32f65a8dd3d0%22%2C%22w%22%3A4032%2C%22h%22%3A3024%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You need a total of 2x 14 balls and 2x 18 balls.<br>It is advantageous to build up the puzzle in its solved form.
