A Fun Self-Designed Steady Hand Game (Wire Loop Game)

This is a super fun project to build yourself! It combines 3D printing with a bit of electronics. Whereas in the past, wood or other simple materials were often used, we now create it in a modern way. The game is not only great for kids, but also for adults who enjoy making things.

Moreover, this project is very educational perfect for use in schools, for example. Students can get introduced to 3D printing and electronics. It's a fun and educational way to develop new skills. Ideal for anyone who loves technology!

By the way, I’m definitely not a specialist. Designing a PCB? Don’t ask me! I had to learn everything myself through various methods, like videos, articles, and experimentation. That’s why it would be amazing to see more of these types of projects in schools again. It’s not just educational, it’s also a lot of fun to do!

Materials and Links

I’ll provide some links to the case and components you can use. Please note that I can’t guarantee these links will continue to work. If a link doesn’t work, you can use the following materials:

Speaker wire: 2 x 0.75 mm black/red (thinner or different colors are also fine). Available at hardware stores.

Batteries: 2x AA batteries and a battery holder (see link for the holder). AA batteries are widely available.

Installation wire: 2.5 mm² (color doesn’t matter: brown, blue, or green/yellow), as long as the inner diameter is 1.7 mm / 1.75 mm. Available at hardware stores.

Enclosure (parts): This needs to be 3D printed (see link 1)

Glue gun with glue sticks: Available at Action!
