Miniature Arcade Desktop Basketball Game With Turret Aiming

Miniature Arcade Desktop Basketball with Precision Turret & ScoreboardThis isn't just another desk toy; it’s a fully mechanical desktop basketball game engineered for precision and gameplay. This set features a unique turret-based aiming system and a functional mechanical score counter.Key Engineering FeaturesPrecision Turret Aiming: Unlike standard launchers that you have to pick up and move, this model uses a 3-gear mechanical system. The heavy base remains stationary while the catapult rotates independently, allowing for fine-tuned aiming without sacrificing stability.Mechanical Score Counter: A completely analog dual-player scoreboard. Use the dials to track points from 0–9 for two players—no batteries required.On-Board Storage: The launcher base includes a built-in, top-open enclosure to store your basketballs.Adjustable Hoop: The telescopic stand allows you to change the height of the hoop to adjust the difficulty level.Print Settings & RecommendationsTo ensure the mechanical parts move smoothly, please follow these guidelines:Material: PLA or PETG (PLA is recommended for the gears for better rigidity).Layer Height: 0.2mm (0.15mm for the gears and scoreboard dials if you want a smoother feel).Wall Count: 3 perimeters (essential for the launcher arm and gear pins).Infill: * Base: 40–50% (The extra weight keeps the launcher from sliding during shots).Other Parts: 10–15% Gyroid.Supports: Required for launcher arm overhang.Assembly InstructionsThis is the exploded view of the launcher.
