Rocket Ball Maze Game for CoolerMaster Qube 500 sidepanel

Rocket ball maze: avoid the holes

This is a rope pulling game designed for the sidepanel of the CoolerMaster Qube500, where you have to fly your rocket from earth to the moon while avoiding the stars and dropping your ball into the sidepanel-holes.

The earth and moon are both designed with cutouts for the rocket flame so that it can fully land on each surface. An exemplary arrangement of the available parts is shown in the images.

For those wanting to travel further, an alternative landing pad on mars is provided.

Printing

This game really shines if you print it in a multicolour arrangement, or if you paint the parts after printing them. For this purpose all parts are provided as .stp files where the individual parts are already assembled together. For BambuStudio users a .3mf file with all parts laid out on multiple plates, with colours already programmed in is provided.

If your slicer cannot handle .stp files, the single parts of each multicolour object are provided as .stl files, so that you can assemble them together yourself. Fully assembled .stl versions of these parts (e.g. for painting later) are also included.

All parts should be printed in the orientation that has the connectors to the case pointing up, and everything except for the ball can be printed without supports.

The parts you need to print are:

• 011_TopRollerPin: 2x
• 012_BottomRollers: 2x
• 013_Rocket: 1x
• 014_01_Moon: 1x   OR   014_02_Mars: 1x   (or both, your choice)
• 015_Star: 4x (for the arrangement in the images)
• 016_Saturn: 1x (for the arrangement in the images)
• 017_Earth: 1x
• 018_Ball: 1x (or use a different ball of similar size, ⌀12mm (hole in rocket is ⌀14.4mm))

Assembly

Further (non-printed) parts that you need are two pieces of rope, at max ⌀4mm, of ~70cm length. Something thin like fishing line will look best and be easiest to tie to the parts.

1. Clip the top roller pins in the upper corners of the sidepanel.
2. Clip the bottom rollers into the bottom corners, leaving one free hole on the outside in both directions.
3. Clip the earth into the center of the bottom row.
4. Clip the moon (or mars) somewhere into the top of the panel (best leave ~2 free rows above the top pin on the moon, or ~3 for mars).
5. Clip the further decorations into the board in various spots.
6. Tie the rope to the bottom rollers and the rocket.
7. Lace the rope around the top rollers.
8. Have fun!
