a lot of people were injured. I know i had a few bruises. they were eventually banned do to people getting hurt.
I was thinking of designing and printing a set.
do you think the 3d printed ones would work or would they shatter.

They won't shatter but at the same time they will not be hard enough even if printed solid to rebound properly.

Also if you want the real thing you can still buy them on Ebay as a vintage toy of course.
