Quoted from fiberdude120:100 plays? You can use them a whole lot longer then that.
I used to use them longer. I started the 100+ after a play field swap to a new CPR play field on my Nugent. Then started on another very nice play field on my Comet and just started changing the rest of them sooner.
Quoted from TaylorVA:Send them to me. I use them to make trophies for my charity tournaments.

TaylorVA how do you bond them together? I have a ton if you want some. I'm in VA (not sure if you are also).

Those are not bonded - there is a base that they rest in and gravity does the rest.

What’s the base made out of? I’ve been thinking about making a base in my ceramics shop to be able to make a pyramid on top of out of used balls?
Would love to see what has been made before. I also wonder if it has a lip. With a divet for the first layer of balls a side would not necessarily be needed. Or with sides divets wouldn’t be neeeded. I’m still debating what would work best with what I’m making.
I shopped the tspp my dad bought us for Christmas when we were little. Im sentimental, so I wanted to keep the first set of balls that it came with. Made this recently using one of them. Not the best, but it was my first go at it, so might try to make a cleaner one.

Generally plastic (PLA or any other material would work)
