Cup Pong
An enjoyable game that tests your hand eye coordination and is a nice gift as well.
The concept is simple. You take the "cup" and try to swing the ball into it. Instead of a normal sphere though
it uses a dodecahedron, or, a 12 sided object. This is much simpler to print and requires no supports.
Just make sure to print the “pong” with enough infill so it's not too light. Print the cup with your choice of PETG or PLA, and print the ball with PLA or TPU. (If you have a tool-changer, like the Prusa XL, you could print the pongs perimerters with TPU, and the infill with PLA)
Print the cup upside-down with support on the inside. Additionally you'll need a 40 cm piece of string, embroidery thread or builders cord. Thread your string through the hole in the handle and tie a knot on the flat side. There is a notch on the flat side which enables the knot to sit flush with the handle. You may need to add a drop of glue to stop it undoing. Push the other end through the narrow end of the hole in the pong and tie a knot on the other side. The hole's exit on that side is slightly larger so that the knot will sit flush.
Happy Printing!!!
