Vintage Pachinko – Ode to Retro Elegance

A fully 3D-printed, working tribute to one of the earliest forms of the legendary Pachinko.

 

Before modern Japanese arcades lit up with flashing lights and electronic chaos, there was the mechanical Pachinko – a graceful, analog game of chance and gravity. 

Vintage Pachinko brings that history back to life, reimagined through a refined Art Deco aesthetic and the precision of modern 3D printing.

 

Designed for 10 mm steel balls, this project is more than a game — it’s a working artifact of gaming history. Every bounce, ricochet, and drop is an homage to the early versions of what would later become a national phenomenon in Japan.

🧩 Features:

• 🧱 Modular construction – designed in multiple interlocking parts, easy to print and assemble
• 🔩 Sturdy screw-based assembly – no glue required for a solid, lasting build
• ⚖️ Less than 750g total filament – yes, really!
• 🎯 Fully functional spring-loaded plunger – launch your ball with satisfying precision
• 🎨 Art Deco & Art Nouveau inspired look – elegant geometry, metallic finishes, and vintage charm
• 🛠️ Compatible with Maker's Supply – all non-printed parts (screws, inserts, steel balls, springs...) were carefully selected to be available from the official Bambu Lab Maker Supply store!
• 📘 Assembly guide included – A full step-by-step illustrated guide is provided to make the build smooth, clear, and enjoyable from start to finish.

Vintage Pachinko is the perfect blend of history, design, and mechanical play — whether you're a maker, a retro gaming lover, or just someone who appreciates well-crafted projects.
