All of our models are: - Assembled in the 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 - Rigorously tested to meet industry standard for single and multi-machine use - Currently operating in 7 countries - Over 100 machines lifting across the globe - Researched and designed down to the millimeter using evidence-based physics and engineering - Setting the new and improved standards for ball lifters across the globe Did you know that 3D printing is not only for prototypes and models, but it is also used for industrial automotive parts, aerospace products, houses, medical research and organ design, tool-making, and so much more! 3D printing is the future and we are thrilled to be part of it. It is time to ditch those old, prehistoric ideas of models made from dusty, caveman materials and join the movement of the future. Pachinko has just gotten more enjoyable with 3D printing the strongest, longest lasting, and most trusted products on the market. Greetings and thank you for your interest in Doctor Pachi's pachinko ball lifters. Our passion is to build customized, industrial strength, 3D printed ball lifters that meet your every need for home and parlor pachinko circulation. Our custom, 3D printed ball lifters are designed by you, printed by us, built by us, and shipped directly to your door (FREE shipping) with everything you need for plug in and play. We strive to offer the most affordable and the most reliable ball lifter on the market. The Tornador offers a wide 20cm tray for catching 100% of the pachinko balls that come tumbling out the back of your machine. No more having to worry about collecting balls in a box and then refilling the upper ball hopper using your hands. Our engineers designed the Tornador to be jam free and guide pachinko balls towards the pachinko hopper with ease. With a precise and sleek ball path built into our lifter, the pachinko balls flow exactly where they need to go each and every time. It is this engineering along with many other aspects of the Tornador that cut out opportunities for ball jams and give you ease of mind while playing pachinko. We inspect and test all of our lifters prior to shipping to ensure the highest quality. In addition to this, our ball lifters come with a 30 day money-back guarantee. If you don't love our product within 30 days, simply ship it back to us, give us one day to inspect, and we will refund your money.* Why choose PLA and 3D printed products over other options for your ball lifter? Cost: Thanks to developing technology, we offer an unbeatable cost amongst other ball lifters on the market. 3D printing gives the creator the power of creating precision and strength within 3D builds. This process creates efficiency which results in more affordable and more reliable products. Customization: If pachinko machines are customized, then why not customize your ball lifter? Here at Doctor Pachi, we offer custom prints ranging from plain color PLA, multicolor PLA, special filaments such as gold PLA, special edition designs, and much more to come! The options are limitless with what we can create. If you have any requests for designs, just send us a message and we will be happy to work with you! Design: Our engineers designed this product to meet your every Newton's need for the physics applications of pachinko. Our 7mm thick sprocket design with metal reinforcement allows you to lift your pachinko balls over 10 feet high! No need to worry about the torque equation or the kinematics on this one, folks; we do all physics so you do not have to! Theoretically, we can push balls over 12 feet high on our motors! Strength: PLA, also known as polylactic acid, is a thermoplastic monomer derived from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugar cane. The bonds that this material creates has been proven stronger and more reliable than other materials such as polyethylene terepthalate glycol and different forms of wood. A study performed by cnckitchen in 2022 displays the overall superiority of PLA pertaining to forces applied through torque and bend. Check out the links below to find out why PLA is the best option for you! Material: Plastic is the only surface pachinko balls should be rolling across in a ball lifter. If your pachinko balls are coming into contact with wood, the wood eventually breaks down into a fine dust and deposits all throughout the pachinko machine. These deposits build up over time and will increase the amount of times the pachinko machine needs to be cleaned. Unlike wood, PLA offers a low surface friction which decreases the abrasiveness of the pachinko balls on the surface allowing for a clean transition from lifter to hopper. Tornador Specs: Dimensions: 18 x 20 cm x 12cm Weight: ~800g (1.75 lbs) Motor type: JGY-370 18-22RPM (~800 hour lifespan/ 16 million shots) Max Torque: 12 Kg*cm (Theoretical 18.7 foot lift height) LED compatibility: Compatible Balls per minute: 288 Machine compatibility: modern and vintage (please check your machine dimensions before purchase) Power source: 12V 2 amp Our kit includes: Tornador Pachinko Ball Lifter 12 Volt 1 Amp (or 2 Amp) power plug 90 degree Tube Bend Pex A Tubing 2 M6 bolts for tray attachment (hex key not provided) 2 M6 bolts for lower elbow attachment 2 #4 1/2 inch screws for surface attachment Color Choices: Our color choices will be listed in the images. You may choose a color for the following pieces on your ball lifter: - Tray (we recommend using TPU 95a due to the suppression of sound, but you may choose PLA) - Top (this is the piece that holds the tray in place) - Middle (This piece connects underneath the Top) - Bottom (This is the area where the electronics sit including the LEDs) - Sprocket (Each sprocket comes with a standard black or white filament depending on the material type) -Lower Elbow (This is the piece that connects the middle to the pex A tubing and guides the balls towards the hopper) For inquiry on any colors that you do not see, but would like to have printed, just leave us a message and we will do our best to meet your needs. FAQ: Q: How do I know which motor is right for me? A: Understanding the motor you use for pachinko applications is important. No matter which motor you choose, you can expect optimum performance from the motors we select for you. The Tornador's 18RPM motor has a rated torque of 12Kg*cm. Using the torque equation, we can calculate the operating lift height: 12kg*cm = 4.2cm x kgkg = 2.86kg2.86kg = 2860g2860g = 519 pachinko balls519 pachinko balls x 11mm = 5714mm5714mm = 5.7m5.7m = 18.7 feet of lift height At 50% torque ratings (9.35 feet) these motors are rated to last up to 800 hours which is equivalent to ~17 million pachinko balls (that's a lot of balls). Our 7mm thick sprocket designs (thickest and strongest sprocket on the market) are tested at maximum stall torque which is even higher than the operating rated torque. Q: What is TPU95A? A: TPU is a rubber-like, soft material specifically chosen to catch the pachinko balls to reduce the sound intensity. The 95 is the hardness of the TPU. Hardness allows the TPU to hold shape which allows the pachinko balls to flow towards the ball chamber. Q: How are the balls directed towards the hopper? A: Each Tornador kit comes with everything you need for plug-in and play. As the balls exit the Tornador, they travel through the easy-guided pex A tubing (no screws required) and straight to the hopper. Each pex A tube is attached to a 90 degree tube bend to allow the tubing to float over the ball hopper and drop the pachinko balls into the hopper. *if you are unsatisfied with your ball lifter, and there are no mechanical issues, we require a $10 restocking fee after approving inspection. This is due to the fact that we do NOT resell returned PLA parts. All of our parts are printed in our climate controlled laboratory. We use dehumidifiers and air filters in our laboratory to ensure quality prints with each lifter. All PLA is stored in sealed containers in a temperature controlled environment. All lifters are inspected for function and quality prior to shipping. All buyers will be provided with images and video of their ball lifter upon the buyer’s request. Due to customer preferences, we have begun printing the 18cm TPU catch tray vs the 20cm TPU catch tray. The 18cm TPU catch tray provides more room for the power adapter to fit behind the pachinko machine along with the ball lifter. If you would like the 20cm catch tray printed, please let us know along with the message to seller.
