Description
A mechanical toy from the early 1900s, reborn in 3D-printable form!
Bajazzo Mini is a charming DIY arcade-style skill game. No electronics, no batteries – just pure mechanical magic powered by your hand.
Bajazzo Mini isn’t just another 3D printing project — it’s a fully functional mechanical arcade game that you can build yourself. It combines retro charm, mechanical fun, and the creative freedom of modern 3D printing.
The creator behind Bajazzo Mini has hands-on experience building full-scale replicas of authentic early 20th-century Bajazzo machines. This version brings that classic charm into a compact, desktop-sized format that anyone can assemble using a 3D printer.
Easy to build. Fun to play.
The Bajazzo Mini project consists of over 20 3D printable parts, all designed for easy printing and assembly.
No advanced skills required — the entire machine can be put together in just 15 minutes!
At the center of the frame is a colorful 3D clown figure that moves side-to-side. You control the motion using a manual crank mounted on the front. Your mission? Use the included single metal ball and try to land it into a moving basket or opening while the clown is in motion. A game of skill, timing, and pure vintage charm! It’s all about timing, rhythm, and fun, with satisfying motion and a hint of challenge.
Bajazzo Mini is fully optimized for home FDM printers (like Bambu Lab,Ender, Prusa, Anycubic).
All parts fit within a 240×240 mm build plate and require minimal supports (or none at all). You’ll get STL files, print settings, and visual guides to help you bring it to life at home.
You will also need:
- 1x 8mm diameter metal ball
- 1x 202x240mm, 2mm thick plexiglass
