This semester I have created a prototype of a pinball machine with the components 3D printed and working electronics for the main components.
In the future I would like to manufacture the components out of appropriate heavy duty materials: acrylic and plywood for the base; delrin and rubber for the slingshots and bumpers and flippers; aluminium tubing for the habitrail. I would also like to improve my code with switch statements and shift registers. Finally, to manufacture the individual parts, I need to make the CAD reflect the tools I will use to manufacture each part. For example, I will use a 3 axis CNC for the flippers but my current design has overhangs. Therefore it must be divided into three components with mates.
