Portable Mechanical Scoreboard
Please support ricky_dehner by Liking/Boosting their Print on MakerWorld.
I loved the original 7 Segment Mechanical Counter design and wanted a larger version for keeping score during sports, games, tournaments, and family events.
This remix scales the original counter to 150% and adds a center connector frame that joins two counters into a single scoreboard. The larger size improves visibility while maintaining the satisfying mechanical operation of the original design.
The center panel supports customizable inserts, allowing the scoreboard to be personalized for different uses.
• Home / Away
• Man vs Woman
• Parents vs Kids
• King vs Queen
• Memorial Day Pool Volleyball
Additional themes can easily be created by importing custom SVG artwork.
• Uses two 150% scaled counters
• Portable one-piece scoreboard assembly
• Larger, easier-to-read digits
• Customizable center panel graphics
• Multi-color AMS friendly
• No electronics required
• Great for:
• Pool volleyball
• Pickleball
• Cornhole
• Family game nights
• School events
• Sports tournaments
• Friendly competitions
This model is a remix of the original:

• If you print at 150%, then all rubber bands can be replaced with a single size. I used 3.15 inch silicone rubber bands for longer life: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09ZLHWCMZ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
• Stretch a rubber band to connect each set of neighboring pegs, so each segment has its own rubber band.
• Use a rubber band on the open pegs of the flat push piece in place of springs if you like. See the original model for more details on this.
• Print the scoreboard frame.
• Assemble the frame as shown in the photos.
• Enjoy!
