Interesting...what percent infill did you use to achieve scale weight? I'm building a 1:5 scale pinsetter, have been 3D printing pins 3" tall, used 40% infill to get them to 13 grams each.
I didn't worry about weight for now as weight via density and volume scales down by the power of 2 for a cylinder, power of 3 for a sphere. These were 80% infill and weigh about 5 grams each. Correct me if i'm wrong but a 1:7.5 scale 16 lb bowling ball should weigh 10 grams? Therefore a pin should weigh 2.3 g? (A half scale 16 lb ball weighs 0.5x0.5x0.5x16 = 2 pounds, NOT 8).
@@5ivepinbowler865 mass scales down by the cube of the reduction, so in my case 1:5 scale, the pins are 1:125 in mass, or about 1/2 ounce (assuming a 3lb, 8oz real pin). I used 13 grams as the final mass for the 3D printer, since is re-slices based on infill density, I just adjusted 'till it came out to that.
These look really good with the different color filament, best I have seen by far!
Hey Thanks
@@5ivepinbowler865 I wonder how hard it would be to print different shapes into the pins like logos or a crown stripe?

Nice video
These are the best looking 3d printed mini pins I’ve seen (and probably the best mini pins in general)! The pin action is really nice too :)
Thank you!
You’re the guy who made 3D printed pins
Yup
If theses 3d pins were up for sale I would buy like 30 of them for my mini bowling lane
Gosh if you were selling these on ebay i would want this
Hmmmm.....
I Might Get A Set Of Crown Pins & Stripe Pins I'm Not Sure Though

where did you get the pattern for the 3D printer
