3D Printed One Pocket Ball Rack

[TexasShooter]

Job well done. Folks that have never 3d printed will never know the frustration of terms like spaghetti defects, z-Axis error, warping, etc. In my shop my students run three bambu X1 carbons pretty much all day everyday...nothing more frustrating to them than having a 12-13 hour print fail after getting half way done!

In fact, more and more of them just go ask if they can just go build it out of wood!

The last hour of a long print is a killer.

I took the quick print to the pool room and put it on a shelf. It was surprisingly stable, even though it was only as wide as the balls.


On the table (where it was intended), it sticks out less than the Diamond wire metal rack, and doesn't get in the player's leg's way. My leg/shin bangs into the diamond wire rack sometimes. As seen in the picture, it can be optimized to fit into that space better.

i think eliminating the top shelf allows balls to sit on top of the row of balls
if the trough the balls sit in is deep enough to not allow the balls to fall out easily it should be good enough for the few times that feature will be needed
just my humble opinion
