Slap Shot - Make your own Air Hockey Table Top Game

thingiverse

This amazing tabletop air hockey table provides hours of fun to play, is far more robust than those "toys" available, and we'll show you how to add electronic scoring in a future issue. This project is designed to make use of standard timber sizes, and so it uses only basic tools and carpentry skills, with only one real tricky woodworking part. We then use some 3D prints to create more complex shapes for the goals etc, and to dress the build overall. These could be replicated to a degree with timber, however, the 3D prints cater for mounting of the electronics used for scoring. A bilge blower is used to provide the air flow.
