So at new years I had a game of pie face, and thought this is terrible, your lucky if the cream touches your nose.

So I thought Im sure I can make a better version.

That looks very interesting, have you got any more information on it?

I'll try and upload a video of it but can't share photos of it fully in action.

I can't share how I designed and made it tho. I have plenty of photos of that

I'd love to see the photos of how you made it, I'm interested in messy devices, I've been working on a gunge tank design for a while.

Ok no worries. Well I'm still putting it together properly after having a very very fun night trying it.

I've designed it and then printed using my 3d printer although you could make the same thing with wood.

The electronics use a
heavy duty servo
Springs
Small micro servo
Button
2 LEDs
Speaker
Breadboard (I'm currently soldering a better one)
And a audino nano board (about £2 from AliExpress)

Here's a couple other photos I took today

But I'll upload a wiring diagram, more photos and videos once done. And the audino nano code which I programmed.

I have a cricut joy machine so I've been printing out the game cards. They mention how many times the person should press the button, and bonus cards like take a shot or both take a shot. What should be on the paddle, I've cream or custard

And the loser a proper pie in the face by the winner.

Thats very cool, I've had varying luck with the aliexpress arduinos, I bought 10 for a project and at least 3 were duds. I love the idea of all the different games you can play with it. I think 3d printing is going to be big in the messy equipment world. I'm waiting on a gunge tank mechanism to print as we speak.

I ordered 3 used some for my daughters school projects etc. but mine have been ok. I shud be getting some more soon so will let you know.

What does a gunge tank mech look like?

My idea was having buckets suspended in kitchen with tape on the bottom, some covering holes some not. then pull a string, wrong one gunge comes out.. but no clue if it wud work or flow right etc.

The system I'm working on is a suspended bucket with a 3d printed release mechanism, I thought I had a gif of my first prototype water test but it seems to have gone somewhere. The first design was basically with a balloon in it tgat a mechanism popped, it worked fine but it was hard to set up again with slippery hands.

feel free to send ur idea over and ill see if i can try tackling the same issue in a diff way perhaps. As some form of bucket release or tipable bucket is on my list to do

The new plan is a printed valve that can be opened and shut remotely.
