Mini Tabletop Bowling

🎳 Build Your Own Fully Automatic Mini Bowling Lane

Ever dreamed of having a bowling lane at home? Now you can — in miniature form, and fully automatic.

This is a 22% scale, working bowling lane — complete with a real mechanical pinsetter, ball return, and camera-based scoring — all designed to fit on your table.


All you need is a 3D printer, some basic hardware, and these files.

This store gives you the digital files only — STL, STEP, and SOLIDWORKS native — so you can print and build your own lane from scratch.

🧠 What You’ll Get

When you purchase, you’ll receive everything you need to bring your lane to life:

  • 🧩 Digital Files — STL, STP, or SOLIDWORKS native
  • 🖨️ Pre-set 3MFs — download slicer files with my settings, just press “Print” and go
  • 🧾 Complete materials list with ready-to-order links
  • 🎥 Step-by-step video instructions with clear visuals for assembly
  • ⚡Wiring Diagrams — plug and play circuits, no soldering required 
  • ⚙️ Arduino code — prewritten, no coding experience required
  • 💬 Discord access — get help, share progress, and meet other mini bowlers

⚡ What It Can Do

This isn’t a toy — it’s a fully functional, automatic, STRING-LESS pinsetter featuring:

- Ball Return

- Sweep

- Respotting scissors

- LED animations

- ScoreMore camera scoring integration

- It runs best with 25 pins in the system, continuously cycling pins just like the real thing.

🎥 The Story Behind It

Hi, I’m Danny — and I spent over a year and a half obsessed with this project.

It started as a wild idea in my small New York apartment. I turned my kitchen into a mini bowling factory, learning how real pinsetters work and documenting every discovery in a YouTube series. Along the way, real bowling technicians reached out to help refine the design through comments and suggestions.

After countless redesigns, breakdowns, and sleepless nights, it finally works — beautifully.
This is the result of that journey, and a way for you to build one too.

đź’ˇ Designed for Makers
  • The full setup fits comfortably on a 30” Ă— 60” table
  • Modular design — parts can be replaced or upgraded, lanes can be extended to desired length
  • Fits on a standard 256 Ă— 256 Ă— 256 mm print bed (Bambu Lab compatible, except A1 Mini)

đź’¬ Join the Community

After purchasing, you’ll join our Discord community — a growing group of builders sharing ideas, mods, and troubleshooting tips.


It’s not just a download — it’s a movement of makers building tiny mechanical marvels together.

🎯 Why You’ll Love It
  • You’ll build a fully working, mechanical marvel.
  • You’ll learn how real bowling pinsetters work.
  • And you’ll end up with the coolest thing you’ve ever made — a fully automatic, LED-lit, camera-scored bowling lane that sits on your desk.
