Black eight, the ultimate goal in Chinese billiards, symbolizes precision, strategy, and victory. Each successful shot is the ultimate test of skill and composure. Now, you can hold this billiard charm in your hand!

I have designed a Black Eight Billiards Clicker. After 3D printing and installing a keyboard switch, you can experience the crisp tactile feedback at your fingertips, as if each click is the precise sinking of a black eight ball. Whether you are a billiard enthusiast or a mechanical keyboard aficionado, this model will bring you unique enjoyment!

🔹 Faithfully reproduces the appearance of the black eight ball, a cool gadget to display on your desk
🔹 Mechanical feel of keyboard switches, each click is addictive
🔹 3D printing DIY fun, hand-assemble for a greater sense of accomplishment

Assembly Guide

You need to prepare a mechanical keyboard switch yourself; most switches are compatible. I used a blue switch for testing.

A complete list of materials is shown in the image below:

The assembly is fairly intuitive, but I'm writing this in case anyone has trouble assembling the numerical components and damages the model by using excessive force

I recommend using pliers to press the number ⑧ in as I did, pressing from both sides, and then pressing once more from the center. This usually allows for perfect assembly without glue

Final product image:

There are two print configurations. Separate color and plate configuration is suitable for users without an AMS, requiring two print plates.

Separate color, single plate configuration is suitable for users with an AMS. Although AMS is used, it is configured for per-piece printing with color separation requiring only two filament changes.Compared to the separate color and plate configuration, it avoids unnecessary filament waste while completing printing on a single plate, saving time on filament changes and part removal.

If you like it, don't forget to like, comment, and collect. I look forward to your feedback. Let's bring the charm of billiards to the world at our fingertips! 🎱
