Title: Pinball Mods - Calling for ideas
Post by: swinks on October 10, 2013, 03:32:19 PM: As some of you know I recently purchased a 3D printer and have a grand plan for this machine outside of pinball (hopefully) but the fun side of it is to make some mods. Open to ideas, keeping in mind I don't want to start with dam hard things to design or paint - want to ease into it.

I will have a !*! Devil Horn !*! hand gesture for the band pins proto'd very soon.

To make it easy, you might even be able to use the previous AP keyring as a template but have some nice 3D lettering.

Also, game specific keyrings.

Title: Re: 3D Print Mods - Timber block for AC/DC bell
Post by: swinks on October 22, 2013, 10:25:46 PM: Would anyone be interested in a 3D printed timber block with a real timber grain and colour that will slide over the aluminium block of the bell....

I can get this experimental filament that has wood particles in it and when printed it will look like wood grain.

If so would you like a square block or round and the end would show the cross section of the log hiding the screw etc.

Aiming for under $20.
