DESCRIPTION Inspired by playful competitions with my kids, I designed the Spin Score Target to make shooting games fun and fair. We used to use random objects placed on couch headrests or chair backrests, but the kids would always question if the placement was the same for everyone, as the orientation and position would change each time the target was knocked down. To solve this problem, I created the Spin Score Target. Spin Score Target has a simple but effective mechanical counting system, and it is very easy to assemble, requiring no glue and a few readily available components.
I have created the assembly instructions that are included in the project files. But there is also a video assembly instructions that can be found here: https://youtu.be/XRfr5U0i-0E

NOTES
- This project includes a couple of print-in-place rotating parts. Make sure that the printer is not stringing and is well calibrated.
- Before diving into the full project, I strongly advise printing a prepared test print. This step will ensure a smooth assembly process.
- If you plan to use more powerful toy guns than a standard Nerf pistol, you should tension the target linkage rubber band more to give the target more resistance (or a couple of rubber bands can be used)
- Do not over-tension the target winder, as it might snap the rubberbands. Using recommended rubber bands, two complete rotations should be enough (depending on the installed score wheel orientation).
