Id like to see a new heading discussing 3d printing in the hobby. see what people have been doing and what is even possible.
Discuss what large pin companies are doing with this tech as well.
These are my blanks that aren't painted. I've already install them on my foo. So glad I bought a 3d printer.
Name plate
Stuck ball mod
Shooter lane protector
Plunger add on

Just dropped in to a new pin location in Tillsonburg Ont.
Nice selection of older pins.

Dan was great amd talked us through the rule sets as we played.
Go support another location.
Wife and I had a good time.
3D file for flipper button cabinet protector? Anyone?
I'll try to design one if no one has one but it would be nice to have something to start from.
Do you think PLA will be good enought?
I'm already thinking with a carbon fiber look.
