Donkey Kong Arcade 3D Playfield

Relive those nostalgic years, when you dropped a small fortune into Arcade cabinets like Donkey Kong. I have fond memories of retro classics like this and I wanted to celebrate that with this wall-mounted time capsule.

If you have an AMS you can print this in color. If not, you can print it in a single color and add hand-painted details.

The included 3MF file has multiple plates combined. Each plate is grouped into similar items & colors.

No single plate requires more than 4 colors.

Each character and component was hand-drawn in Fusion360 and colorized in slicer. A screenshot of the colors I used is included.

Print at Standard settings and standard fill.

If printed at 100% scaling the project will be approx. 23" tall by 17.5" wide. Plexiglass sheet is 26" x 21". You can scale the entire project to get your desired result & size.

The printed pieces are attached to a sheet of plexi-glass with E6000 multi-purpose adhesive. Adhesive was applied to parts sparingly with a toothpick. If you want to add a little more excitement to the design I also include a background image. It is attached as a high resolution PDF. Once adhesive is dry you can mount in a custom picture frame.

Attributions to the artist of the city skyline background image are as follows: "Designed by pikisuperstar / Freepik".

I hope you enjoy my work.

UPDATES:

I created an optional frame for this project.

Another member, NxtGnPrtHub, created the “Help” scream bubble for Pauline, to add a little extra eye candy.

Take measurements and use painters tape to mock-up play field before using adhesive. You only get one chance if using adhesive with plexiglass. Some elements, such as Mario, Pauline and Donkey Kong are doubled up on the plates. I did that to provide backups, in case one prints bad or has excessive color bleeding. You can disable any extra characters by right clicking on them and disabling the “Printable” check mark. Any extra characters could be repurposed elsewhere.
