Mini-Domino "DC" Direction Changer
Print Profile(1)
Description
As a domino fan, I created this mini version of the direction changer. It uses less material and has a smaller design. This allows several lines to be set up on a smaller area and triggered by the DCs.
Since this DC is smaller and thus lighter, it unfortunately shifts a bit as soon as the dominoes fall. To prevent this and allow the lines to fall precisely, it should be fixed to the ground.
I recommend UHU Pattafix adhesive dots for this. They are reusable, provide sufficient grip, and the DC can be easily removed from the ground.
Boost Me (for free)
If you also enjoy dominoes and like this model, show me and boost me. It costs you nothing, and it motivates me to design new domino components so you can have fun.
Feel free to try out this model, let me know if there are any suggestions for improvement, and rate my design.
Otherwise, feel free to look further down, as I have created more models, as well as a large crossing. Maybe you'll like some of those things too.
MORE MODELS
I have created more models for domino fun. Feel free to check them out, maybe there's something else you could use.
DOMINO LINE SAFETY BARRIER
Domino Line Safety Barrier – Free 3D Print Model – MakerWorld
With this, you can build in individual safety features in between if you are building larger and longer projects and want to minimize the risk.
DOMINO STAIRS
Domino Stairs – Free 3D Print Model – MakerWorld
With these stairs, you can bridge other lines and build cool intricate structures. It also helps utilize the space in your home. The domino stairs have plates of different widths that can be placed on top, allowing one or two lines to be bridged.
DOMINO STAIRS WITH ANCHOR
Domino Stairs with Anchor – Free 3D Print Model – MakerWorld
If the regular stairs are cumbersome for you because the top plates are loose, I have designed stairs with an anchor. The top plate hooks onto the stair steps and sits firmly. Nothing can slip, and you can even align the stairs more easily for building. Here too, there are top plates of different lengths.
DOMINO CROSSING
Domino Crossing – Free 3D Print Model – MakerWorld
If you find the bridges too large, for example, because you want to cross lines in a very small space, there is another option, namely the crossing. The part is placed exactly in the middle of both lines, and the pins trigger the line on the other side without using a bridge or accidentally knocking over the other line.
DOMINO “DC” DIRECTION CHANGER
Domino "DC" Direction Changer – Free 3D Print Model – MakerWorld
This direction changer makes it possible to change the direction of the line in a small space. You don't need to build curves, which consume dominoes and are also a factor for errors, because if the curve is not built correctly, the line can stop. This DC is an ideal replacement.
MINI DOMINO CROSSING
Mini Domino Crossing with Integrated Pins – Free 3D Print Model – MakerWorld
This mini domino crossing is much smaller, so it disappears better between the lines.
The pins are also directly integrated, so they cannot fall out. This allows you to cross two lines in an even smaller space without bridges.
DOMINO SLIDE
Domino Slide – Free 3D Print Model – MakerWorld
Why always stairs? I asked myself the same question and designed the Domino Slide instead. It is compatible with the domino stairs I designed, so it can replace stairs or even be used as the start of a line. This allows for versatile use.
MINI DOMINO “DC” DIRECTION CHANGER
Mini Domino "DC" Direction Changer – Free 3D Print Model – MakerWorld
This DC is even smaller, allowing lines to be placed closer together. This can replace tight curves that are very likely not to fall.
I would be very happy if you would check out the other parts and perhaps print some and give me feedback so I can improve them.
More new parts or improvements will follow from time to time, so feel free to follow me so you don't miss anything.
