  • Hey UA-cam! I thought it was time to do a grand reveal of my latest design for the Lego A-2 style pinsetter project! This is one of the ball return designs that seems to work the best out of the others I've tested. It's a very simple kicker design inspired from Strike N Spare II's bowling ball kickers to help move the bowling balls into the ball wheel. Without further ado, I present the new ball return!

    Insanely cool! I just love how it looks so simple, yet that's always the kind of designs that take time to come up with. Seems to be very reliable as well! Can't wait to see more, you are doing an amazing job!

      Thanks Tcas! This did take quite a bit of trial and error, but I'm very happy with these results! I did pick up some arch pieces I'd like to try out. Hopefully it will smooth out the lift of the ball! :)

    Do you have a Mac book or a windows computer for score more pindominator? Because it would be the icing on the cake for your mini bowling alley! I just downloaded it on my pc windows computer for my mini bowling alley it it works great!

      It's for the distributor. Right now it's used to power the shaker/pinwheel/ball return with one motor

    Wow, this is pretty friggin cool! How does it detect? I assume electronically somehow. Any kinda OOR function or just standing pins/strike. Pin action looks REALLY good too, are those your 3d printed pins btw? VERY cool! Def very impressive, I know if it were me this wouldn't exist LOL I can fix em but I can't design or build em haha. Nice job dude, very cool! :)

    • @PinDominator
      @PinDominator  10 місяців тому +2

      Thanks Rep! Right now, it detects manually, meaning I push a button for strikes or for standing pins. I'm planning on modifying the setting table, however, which is why I haven't been working on an automatic detector. Yep, these are 3-D printed pins from years ago, as well as a 3-D printed pin-wheel/guide. I also have 3-D printed turret designs in testing now, but I'm probably not going to use that design since it is used in many other projects. I would like to try something new and potentially simpler. :)

      @@PinDominator Very cool dude. Manual detection works too! I imagine you're far from done yet, so you can work all that into it later if ya want to. The pins I love, look and act great. Pretty cool so much can be done with the 3d printing. Thanks for the vid and sharing your machine, look forward to seeing more in the future! :)

      How will u handle obsolence mgmt with the phasing out/cessation of EV3?@@PinDominator
      Currently I have a semi-auto mini bowling alley working only on gravity to return the ball. It has been a long term dream to coin a setup just like yours.
      Not sure if LEGO now is still viable - perhaps for the pieces (where/how did u find the right part?)...but the controller?
      What controller could I use to build my pinsetter moving fwd?

    • @PinDominator
      @PinDominator  5 місяців тому

      @Ethan777100 right now, I will continue to use the EV3 Mindstorm brick and motors since those are the only control logics I currently have for Lego. When the pinsetter is completed, I'll probably convert to Lego's newest Mindstorm model, so it is easily accessible for others.
