Worlds Smallest 3D-Printed Pinball Machine
A programmer from SpritesMods set out to create a tiny pinball machine, and the ensuing 3D-printed device may be the smallest yet. Simply put, the 3D-printed case was equipped with two screens, a functional plunger, and two buttons on each side that activate the on-screen flippers. Unfortunately, you aren’t able to load the latest games, but it does run Pinball Fantasies.



Pinball Fantasies is actually a pinball simulator made for x86 hardware from the 1990s, and for those interested, there’s a Github for the DOS x86 version. Powering everything is an ESP32 system on a chip microcontroller that has just enough power to run the game. Or, you can just use this accessory to turn your Nintendo Switch into a pinball machine.
