This video is a add on to the Instructions of the 3D Printed Bumper Design i provide on Cults3d.com. The Bumper is avaiable via this Link: cults3d.com/en... Other Pinball Parts are avaiable here: cults3d.com/en...
This is very interesting Fabrication to me. I own an old pinball machine that I play with. I have been thinking of making a pinball machine for a few years now and will likely start once I fully retire here in Canada. I think I will try and replicate an existing old pinball machine perhaps the same one you are doing as it has all the various assemblies. I also do 3d printing and machining with access to cnc machines. I'm still researching how I will go about this project. One thing I have found is a guy who 3d printed bumpers that had conductive print material, he printed the body and apron the ball runs over to make the trigger happen because the ball is conductive. I'm wondering about the electronic boards and entire system as to what you are using?
Hello, i designed the electronics as well myself. I use an ardunio Mega as controller. With the STLs i provide as well for some the needed PCB Greber Files. Just look up whats avaibale -> cults3d.com/en/users/wilfriedfabian/3d-models With the time i will ad some new assemblies. I have also seen some bumpers designs as the one you describe. However the Bumer design i made works quite well, i was thinking before i started my fathom relplica project to change it to an insductive triggered one, but had no time. To inspire you for your retirement, see my fathom Videos - here ist part 3 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YAW4IB6R530.html
another curiosity, are you going to make this machine complete with backglass and the four scoreboards, and if so do you have the measurements, I had started one here, the playfield was 0.50 centimeters by 1.10 one meter and ten I don't know if this is correct these measurements, but for me to be able to build a table using your STL files, it would have to be the measurements you are using on this machine, in this case I will make the same machine but with a different theme, a Taito 1983.
Hello Edu, no i will not make a "box with Backglas". i will do a led Matrix 8*64 similar to the one i did for my space shutller replica -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sgq4DvL_ENM.html The Playfiled of the Fathom and as well Space shuttle is 100x50cm in size.
Good evening, I would like to know if you will make the STL files available for 3D printing of this machine, because I would like to make a Taito machine that is a copy of this one (TAITO HAWKAN 1983) a copy of the one (BALLY FATHOM 1980) I've played this machine a lot here and now if I have access to this piece it would be much easier, I'm not going to start for now just for 2025, anything we agree and you make a package with all the files would be really cool, for now I'll enjoy the videos, congratulations.
Hello, yes they are available here: cults3d.com/en/users/wilfriedfabian/3d-models but also there are the GREBER Files which enables you tom make the electronics needed to opertae theassemblies. After i finished my Fathom, i wilkl add from time to time some more assemblies.
