Step right up, step right up, it's time to play Big Top Bounce! A fun new marble game that's a combination of thrill and skill!
Gameplay: Simply bounce your marbles off the trampoline spring pad and score big. Play against friends, family, or the clock to see who's the Big Top Bounce Master
Features:
- A modular target system allows you to expand your gameplay options.
- 3 ball return channels allow you to keep track of which targets you're scoring in.
- Easy no glue assembly allows you to go from print to play in no time (trampoline and marbles not included)
UPDATE (7/6/19):
If your printer doesn't have the bed volume to print out the full base, I have uploaded a modular base and trampoline piece that can be printed separately (Modular Trampoline Base and Modular Target Base). Print out the same trampoline cap and standard target and enjoy!

Thank you, and happy bouncing!
Make sure all prints are oriented with their flat surface on the print bed, sometimes the slicer imports them offset by 90 degrees. No more than 20% infill needed for any of the parts, and no supports.
I printed the trampoline cap with a brim and increased the number of walls from 2-3 for extra strength.
After printing all the components, you will have to install a trampoline. Simply take an old discarded sock from the bottom of your sock drawer (or equivalently stretchy material), cut it open on one side so it is flat, and stretch it over the base. Then screw the trampoline cap over the sock until it is tight and cut off the excess material. WARNING: if you now remove the trampoline cap you may have to cut up and install a new sock.
Big Top Bounce is designed to play with 3/8th inch steel bearings like these: https://www.amazon.com/PGN-0-375-Precision-Chrome-Bearing

The Big top bounce was a fun print, one flaw I noticed with the example pictures that happened to mine was the split between the first and second track on the marble exit, but all in all that did not affect it and it really works great
