Mini Tabletop Bowling - 3D Printed Automatic Pinsetter

About this project

New York creator Danny Lum spent 1.5 years shrinking a full bowling system onto a tabletop, headlined by a 3D-printed automatic pinsetter that collects and resets knocked pins without any hand-setting. The project ships as files: buy the print files, parts list and build guide, then print, assemble and bowl — understanding the pin-setting, ball-return and scoring mechanics hands-on. It is both a toy and a textbook for makers. Launched in November 2025, the campaign drew 1,094 backers and raised $105,183 — 5259% of its $2,000 goal.

Highlights

  • Automatic pinsetter: 3D-printed mechanism resets pins automatically, no hand-setting
  • 1.5 years of obsessive design: iterated structure and details teach full mechanical principles
  • Maker friendly: buy files, print and assemble with a complete parts list
  • Learn while playing: the miniature lane shows kids and geeks how the whole system runs
