I would like to be added to the list of “yes please”. Figure I have 4 machines so 6 would be ideal if one or two should have a failure.

unrelated and not that I would want to be an importer but I do spend plenty of time at my place in the USA… parcels would be opened prior to transit but im pretty sure I could help the community out.

Here's a pic of the version I can print.View attachment 34343
Will these work with the older sterns like TSPP, Spider-Man etc ? If not will you be able to print them as well ? Thanks

I be interested in some if they are not like the ones they sell on Pinside. Personally I like the clear ones from Pinball Life. Those work great and you don't have to take the playfield apart to install them. Thanks.

Even better if you were order a couple hundred Cliffy lane protectors and had them available!
Shipping is always a massive cost increase so even if you charged a solid premium for each one, it would be worth it.

Last I spoke to Cliffy it would take him 16 years to fulfill my order.
I'm not joking,..

That STL seems to print OK if you add a raft to it. Haven't put this in a game yet, but I'm curious how it holds up in PLA. Seems like it would crack. Also need to sand down any roughness on the print to make sure that it doesn't scratch the balls and cause more damage than it prevents.

They do need a brim, most I've tried to print at once is a 3 pack which takes 1hr10minutes to accomplish.
PLA probably will be too brittle, PLA+ is probably the way to go. TPU is way too flexible to get a good print from and PETG is too stringy.

The ones from Mezel mods are the Pinball Universe ones. They are the best imo, I tried the 3D printed versions but its nowhere as good. I have an application pending to carry all of Pinball Universe mods (CLIP protectors, shooter lane protectors) within Canada. More details to come... Will also carry a fairly good inventory of Pinball Life products.

I had a friend print some off that he made and did some tweaking to. A little double sided tape underneath and they are great. No issues so far.
