    3D Printers and Pinball

    A couple other projects. Someone was asking about this one in the other thread. That's a PLA print with no post-processing. It's actually 3 pieces though. The base + "pinball" is one piece (with a color change at layer), the "Stern" is one piece (with a black layer at the bottom to keep the...

    3D Printers and Pinball

    Next big print was a request from my son. He's obsessed with Zelda, so I offered to make him something for his room. I thought he'd want the master sword that I found on thingiverse, but no, he wanted a Fierce Deity Sword, which is much more complicated. There were no good models online, but...

    3D Printers and Pinball

    Cool thread. I've been printing since the beginning of the year. I finally got my Snapmaker 2.0 A350 in January after a really long preorder delay. It's neat because it's a 3 in 1 (3dp, laser, CNC), but I've probably used the 3d printing the most. I started out with the obligatory "hook for...

    FOUND Topper for Iron Maiden or Jurassic Park

    Nice! I like the multicolor JP logo. I've been messing with color changes lately. Not a topper, but I made this as a wall decoration to try it out: I've been meaning to try making some mods/toppers, but haven't come up with an idea I really like yet.

    Stern Insider Connected/Scorbit

    I know Nick has tried out Insider Connected with Godzilla, and the current word is that retrofit kits will be available later this year and run $200. It's a neat idea, but not necessarily a cheap addon. I'd also heard about Scorbit a while back, who makes an addon board that looks like it'll...

    Godzilla

    Wow, LEs coming into Canada first-almost like the old days. Looking forward to trying the Connected stuff out. Probably some news on upgrade kits at expo next week? I was thinking of trying to 3d print a IC QR code as a keychain. Godzilla looked really cool from the reveal streams. Really...

    Jurassic Park Home Pin

    The price seems insane, but then again, the pro msrp is up to 6899 for Godzilla, so 4500 might be a bargain now? Still, I think it's a weird middle ground. If someone is willing to spend 4500 they're probably willing to spend more to get a full size pro. If it was 1500, that's into Costco...

    Iron Maiden Pro vs Premium

    I'd played both and bought the pro, and I'm usually a premium buyer. At the time, I didn't think the extra cash was worth it. All you really get is the different sarcophagus lock, the different orb target, and the underworld shot. I do like the up/down ramp on the premium, and it does force...

    Godzilla

    The Sega Godzilla is pretty simple all things considered. There's the 5 different multiballs, and the main goal is to try to stack them all, but beyond that I think that's about it. Not a simple thing to do, and it's popular in the tournament set because I think it's a fairly rare game with a...

    SOLD Hobbit LE (HUO)

    I played this back when it was in TOPL rotation and it's solid, so no reason to believe it wouldn't still be in great shape. I have one from probably the same production run (built a week later), and it's still working great. One of the earlier JJP games that were built like tanks. Fair...

    Can anyone fix my MAME?

    Yeah, if you're able to get as far as a boot menu, then that implies that the CPU and memory are OK, and if you can see the screen then you're sending out video too. I'd still try without the wifi adapter connected-which version of Windows do you have on there? You might try creating boot...

    Can anyone fix my MAME?

    Looks like a standard PC-when you boot, any BIOS beeps or anything? You have a VGA cable connected, what's that plugged into? I'd try connecting a single display and a regular keyboard and seeing what happens-best case is you can get into windows, but ideally even getting into the BIOS. There...

    Steve Ritchie leaves Stern for JJP

    The pinball news article had this bit in it: Had no idea that Lyman left Stern as well. Honestly, that's probably a bigger deal than Steve leaving.

    SOLD Pool table, shop dust collector

    My parents are downsizing, so they're selling some stuff off. Posting here to see if anyone is interested. Both are in the Mississauga (Winston Churchill/Britannia) area: - Dust collector for shop tools. Really useful because it kicks the vacuum system in with the tool start, so it'll...

    Bluffs Pinball Returns!

    Awesome-glad to see pinball events starting up again! I figured Walt might be the first to set something official up :)

    Halloween pinball

    If Rick and Morty is anything to go by, these will be gone quickly. No idea how distributors fit into the "fang club" model-the orders tomorrow only open to people who have bought a membership.

    Introduce Yourself!

    Wow, hell must really have frozen over if Wayne (finally) bought a NIB game :) Strange times indeed! (congrats BTW-looks like a cool machine!) Definitely looking forward to getting back to league nights. Could probably set something up in August once everyone is Vaxxed?

    SOLD Spider-Man

    I hear you there. Between the two of us, the list of "keepers" covers just about everything in the basement right now.

    Left table/Rolling Cart

    I made this one out of a motorcycle jack from CT. I replaced the built in wheels with swivel casters, and put a box on top. Works great for lifting a game and moving it out of a row. Those little 3 wheel casters are better for bigger moves though-the lifter can be a little wobbly if you're...

    The Mandalorian

    It looks...ok? Not sure about the rotating upper PF, and the magnet "feature" sounds kind of lame, but it's a good show, and I think the LE looks really nice with the "beskar" armor. First impression based off a couple of pictures is better layout than Zeppelin, but not as good as AIQ? Still...
