It’s Wednesday. 3D printing is just downright cool—it’s like having a tiny factory on your desk that turns imagination into something you can actually hold. One minute you’re staring at a digital model on your screen, and a few hours later you’re holding that exact thing in your hands, layer by precise layer. Today’s 3D printers can do it all—whether it’s custom gadgets, replacement parts, wild art pieces, or maybe even your own… bowling alley?
Maker Danny Lum spent a year and a half designing, engineering, and building a fully functional miniature bowling alley—complete with an automated pinsweeper and pinsetter, camera-based scoring, and a motorized ball return. Now that it’s finally finished, he’s releasing everything you need to build your own: 3D-print files, materials lists, wiring diagrams, code, and step-by-step instructions, all available through Kickstarter.
Bowling Anyone?
