An insane custom built Greatest Showman pinball machine made from a 1990 Williams Whirlwind machine. I forgot to take a picture before I left and this is the best video I could find: www.instagram.com/reel/DBbLKXw...

University of Cincinnati Mechantronics club's scratch built machine. Every year they've brought a more advanced iteration and it's been super fun to watch

Beautiful antique wooden pinball machines

A modular pinball machine with a digital lower playfield, but traditional top half. This had a swinging crane that covered most the machine so it felt pretty close to a fully traditional one

3 player pinball machine that would fully rotate at the end of turn to the next seated player

Pinball machine that used a 45° two way mirror with a 7 segment display behind it so it feels like a digital game

Never produced Williams analog arcade game prototype using the Bernoulli Principle (it's a 1/1)

2 player PvP Pinball machine, 1982 Joust themed (it also had a singleplayer mode)

Trimmed off any melted glue and excess resin, sanded, wet sanded, buffed and finally a coat of gloss varnish

It's far from perfect, but should be good enough to add tint & LEDs

Filled the mold with UV resin and cured (in a well ventilated area). Small layers work best otherwise the curing reaction melts the hot glue (oops)

I used Pam as a mold release, hot glue as a mold, and cardboard to try and retain the mold's shape

Started with the "lens buck" STL from Galactic Armory, sanding, priming, sanding and gloss varnish

Budget resin casting with household materials or:

How I spent $50 and way too many precious hours making a DIY Space Marine helmet lens I could’ve bought for half the cost (a thread)
