Sadly my playfield protector wich I ordered with the pinball is in bad condition. I have to wait for the seller to change it. So I already Startet to work on the inserts as seen here. Looks much better now. Thanks for that idea.
Is there a better way than with tape?

IMG_20210715_225317.jpg

IMG_20210716_001758.jpg

I used now smal tape to hold them in position and a big one over all. I check if this hold when not I will try it with the screws thanks.

On the t-rex green I used 3 diffrent greens.
Saber tooth I used 1 ligth black, 1 yellow and one ligth orange.

Seems like you use hair gel (gorilla glue)

That's also a good Idee. I am thinking of making 3d printed holders in the future. They could then also be mounted with the screws

As i still waiting on the Playfieldprotector, i took the time and redesigned the Katana Handle.
I saw The handle from Mezel Mod here but i do not like it. it looks much better than the orginaly i agree.
But i would want it to look more like a real katana Handle. here is my first prototype.

As you see the finall result after the print, there is alot i will change. I will do the "rope strands" bigger and like on a Orginaly Katana i will make them Oblique.
Then i saw that there is a metal end on the katana handle. I like that. so i will do it also.
if you have some input let me know.

This is my second prototype. sadly it is exactly what you ment by chunky. I Agree with you, that i also do not like that.
But i like how it looks.
Have ordered some red/blue/green/gold filter to try out.
Also will try to get it less chunky

not the final but an Update

So Today was Modding day.

I received the mod i Ordered from maffewl

At first I only saw the Deadpool inlanes from him.

When he asked if I wanted other things to save on shipping costs I got curious.
In the end it became the Inlanes , the Metal Mod ,Throwing Stars and some extras I received with the order the small mirrored stars.

I could hardly wait to open the package when it arrived.
I was positively surprised. this mod was not only very affordable but also created with a lot of attention to detail.
The metal plate shines and looks just awesome. I first Installet the metalplate under the orginaly plastic, but it was to less noticable for me. So i put it on top. I don't care if the under plastic breaks but this thing has to be seen.

Also the Inlanes plastic protectors are not only very nicely done, they give the pinball such a perfect look.
They are so easy to install. Just 2 screws to be taken out, place the protectorplastics and install them again.
The small throwing strars are very detailed and even mirrored on the underside so they seem metallic.

Was not able to install the throwing stars on the Speakerpanel jet.

A big thank you man, keep on your amazing work.
If you do a metalplate for the plastic in left back i will order it rigth away

Here for refrence:

I have DP only few days now.
Love the game!
But i recognized that the pin seems very dark.
It is difficult to see the upper playfield part.
So I am on thinking about a pinstadium or would be Anti-reflective glass enough?
Pinstadium seems to be very expensive.

Didn't knew that. Will try that first. Thank you.

Where did you bougth it. Maybe you could help out with some link. Would aprechiate

Thank you. I will check that out. But I do not want to mess with the electronics

Also thank you everyone for that lot of helpful advice.
As Deadpool would say.
You are Great!

Found a Topper today.
Ordered it rigth away. will post pictures when I received it

Screenshot_20210806_081110_com.alibaba.aliexpresshd_edit_57542444493823.jpg

Thanks

I Ordered it on Aliexpress

They wrote arround 20 cm should be arround 7.8 inch.

I am 30 Today I was getting some nice t-shirt from my Wife seems like there are others like me out there.

After lot of Party and arround 130 Plays on my new machine the head of little Deadpool doesn't want to take it anymore
As I know the comics I just can put it back on and he should fix him self within some time rigth? xD

Seems to be a normal problem let's see what the distributor means.

Soon I will give you some update on the katana handle.Have a nice day.

IMG_20210807_191339.jpg

IMG_20210808_171107.jpg

Thank you.

I already ordered a lil Deadpool with the unicorn but all sellers reply with out of stock. So I will definitely check them out

But I love the shaking head and arms of Lil Deadpool. I do not want to miss it.
Maybe another opertunity for a mod

So here is my new Designe of the Katana-Handle.( on right side)
I redesignet the rope and took a real Katan handle as refrence. Now it is not that clunky anymore.

There are still some changes i wantt to make. I like to get the sides a little rounder and the top metalpart shoud be a little bigger.
But this will take a lot of time because my laptop has problem to calcuate the mesh because of the high detail.

Also i added a guide inside so it is easy possible to change the filter colors inside.
So you could feel free to try some diffrent colors or change them for fun.

IMG_20210809_125518 (resized).jpgIMG_20210809_125738 (resized).jpgIMG_20210809_125844 (resized).jpg

Thank you
It ist still a lot of work to get them perfect.
But if I'm Finished and there is a request for the handle. I will make it purchasable.

Also open to designe ideas for the rope or the Metal part. Maybe I get 2 or 3 cool models and it has something for everyone
Just send me a pm if you have some other idea.

So i am back.

My last prototype is finished.
I like it the most, because it has a rounder shape and that looks great.

So we have:
No. 1 the chunky
No. 2 the elegant
No. 3 the round

Also the color filters arrived and I was able to test them. Very easy replaceable and a cool feature.

I wil take the round shape as final.
Only thing I have now to decide, with wich metal part and wich rope guide I will continue.

What do you like best?

IMG_20210812_192535.jpg

This looks great!
And that it lights the darker middle area is a plus.
Nice job!

Perfect then I am on the rigth track.
It is an eye catcher
Now I have to test it well but I think it will work nice as it is only a cover on the Catan and is not in a place where it can take a lot of damage.

Sure
I did some more improvements and will write here as soon as I am finished. All who have interest can write me a Pm then.
I will give color filters from all the shown color with the handle so you can decide by your self wich color you want to add.

Hello Aniraf

I worked on the final one today and if all fit, then i upload pictures in the next days.

Hello all
Here is the final result.
The handle is easy to install and fits perfectly. I make it with durable material. It is a little overkill but better safe then sorry. I can offer it for 85 dollars including shipping because shipping from switzerland to the USA is very expensive but its fast (1-2 weeks).
(If you are a Group or want more, price drops because i can send Several with same shipping)
I would need one more week to produce them.
Various color filters are included.
Pm me if you are interested.

Best regards Luc

Hello Smack

Thank you very much for the compliment.
Yes it is the same price for Canada.

Best Regards Luc

Thank you for your support!

Competition makes the market innovativ. Always a Win for all Deadpool owners

Also recomed to finish the led mod.
You had a great Idee with the sticker but don't add it to the selling mod.
Create some sticker for that droptarged and add it to the mod. Please forward that to mezelmod.

Okey that's a very good reason, I have not thought of the Copyrigth.
I would just wouldn't like to have to cut Orginale stickers, but they can be also reordered from Stern ^^ so this would be an option.
Thanks for your compliment. I have thought to implement a Led in to the handle that changes the colors as on the playfield, but have not yet found a way without soldering. Will perhaps add this in future.

If there is someone how could help me that would be nice as i am not that good in electric.

This lighten up an Led bar but does not change the color rigth?

I know. I think this would be the best place to attach a multicolor led. only way is to take it from the cables or solder it direct tho the board.
But solderin isn't very user friendly. i Like mods wich are easy to add but also easy to get back to stock.
So i looking for a way to get the leds atacht to this board without solder it.

Ligth (resized).jpg

Thanks. I will.

I am not a fan of alligator clips in a pinball with vibration. If that thing fall off and touches a electronic part it shouldn't, the game coul be damaged.

I need to find the board where it is Atached and would need a splitter for that. But I don't know if this is possible and if diods are needed for safety.

Thanks man. Was about to check the schematics in the Manual and 8 c14 its the right spot. Its a little far from the Katana but with cable ties it could be managed.
Now i had to check if i find a spliter for these molex conector.

I did not think there is a connector between this one. Can you send me some link where you ordered the Molex. I did not found a similar one.

Okey
I need a 8 pin something. I think I had to designe one myself and see if a can do a Y adapter.

So the first four are ready for the paint job. IMG_20210826_224738.jpg
should be able to ship them on Monday.
I played a bit with the filter. It's also possible to do a color mix.
IMG_20210827_170136.jpg
In the last picture you can see them befor and after painting. Was thinking about the possibility to do the rope part in diffrent color not only black. Someone want to see a specific color?IMG_20210826_223650_edit_32440098188278.jpg

Sry for overspaming the thread this will be my last post about the handle!

.

Thank you for that huge compliment.
It makes all the work worth it.

I only have a Pro.
I think if you are trained to shoot that loop it could be very repetitive on the premium . Can someone with a premium tell, does it always loops or does it sometimes stop the ball on the left loop,that it fall in to the bumpers?

I have a Supermario bros and it's the same there if you know how to shoot that loop you do it over and over again to get a lot of points. I think it's a bigger challenge when you do not now how exactly the ball will come down. But I would like to have the drop targets
I prefer the pro cabinet over the premium.
If the premium had the pro cabinet I had decided to go with the premium. But that's only my opinion.

Thanks and I Still work on to get it even more interesting. I know Led does not always do it better but I like it. check the upgrade out here

Still in the working and I am not sure if I want to sell this. I do not want to be involved if someone's pin gets damaged because there is a bigger error possibility when they do a wrong instalation on electrical stuff.

I think brigth blue would be very nice if you would do the powder coating the same color.
Just can't tell if it bites with the playfield
Would be unique.

I don't understand why mezel changed the layout to the new.
The first version of mezel looked better for me but i think this is matter of taste.

I never had a mezel so i can't speak about the quality.
It was just the layout, wich i wanted to look diffrent and that i can change the colorfilter on my handle is a nice extra.

Thanks for all the positive feedback.

Hello McDoom
You can contact me via pm for the katan Handle.

Someone in the German Forum is working on to Implement a Shooter ramp in to his DP-Pro. (https://www.flippermarkt.de/community/forum/threads/deadpool-pro-shooter-rampe.241020/)
He wants to stop the ball to get back to the shooterlane.
He also try to get a Left discoloop. i find it very Intressting.
Someone with a premium knows what triggers the right upper gate to open for discoloop?

I also dont like it when the ball get stuck on the small wire between the shooter lane and the right orbit.

Sure

He asked this question( why I asked ) :
Someone with a premium knows what triggers the right upper gate to open for discoloop?

The last post (30min ago ) was a request if no one has an idea or if he had to try the Prem software to test.

This was also my first thoughts.
But I don't think it would bother me if I can't do this anymore. The bigger question for me is to change so much on the pinball. I think if this is done there is no going back.(without buying a new playfield)

Saw a Video Where they used this Woojer habtic vest with pinball I think that would be a complete new lvl while playing.

.

Just a short Information for all of you amazing people.

Thank you all on supporting me to get the Handle to what it is. It was only planed to be a project for me. Haven't thought that this will get such a huge and positive feedback. I have learned a lot because it's a lot more difficult to make something for others than for my self ( packaging /shipping / material planning / cost planning / service /a lot of time ectr.). Happy that here are some few mod makers out there take the effort and bring out some nice stuff (not all).

Man I Love to see the Handle all over the world.
Thank you for this.

I also work on lot of diffrent stuff.
I started an Instagram account ( @lucxor_pinball(https://www.instagram.com/invites/contact/?i=hsm1c9xptrql&utm_content=nrzrjvfand)
If you are interested I will soon post updates on what I am working rigth now.

I also started a Discord channel (not Ready jet) where you can chat with me. Pleas mind the time differences
https://discord.gg/t2GapRCfM9

Thank you very much. Hope you receive your DP soon.
I love to hear from everyone who received his handle and send me pictures. I put a lot of work in every single handle and love to se when they arrive well and you guys are happy with it.

Happy to hear that you received the handle well.

Good Tipp. Will now mention it in my instructions that there is a protection plastic on the filters. Sry for that.

Such a great idea. Funny that no one ever thought of that befor. Love it.
Hope you don't mind if I take it and try to make it a bit better or just diffrent.

IMG_20220303_211446_edit_1332794506370064.jpg

Already ordered some magnets. Then I was thinking of just use the Speaker grid as holder. As I am not sure how good I can thigthen te magnets to the stars and if they maybe fall out. But it's a God point that you can move them wherever you want. I will try to see what work best.
I like the possibility with diffrent star styles.

After 3 Prototypes I got them holding in the grid. No magnets needed. I did not though that I can move them free. But within the grid it is possible to place them wherever you want. Next step get them even better and chrome colored.

If anyone is interested in my high-quality katana handle with changeable color filter, write me a PM. I have about 6 handles left and after that I will move on to other projects.
IMG_20220216_235211_493_edit_487530462637065.jpgIMG_20220329_123417.jpg

I think I have all the handles gone. You can still contact me, if I have one left or someone doesn't want it I will take the next on the pm list.
Maybe I do one or two more if there are people who missed the opertunity to catch one. But i don't plan to produce more in the future.

Thanks to all of you for that amazing support.
Its a great hobby

Hello together

Since many get the deadpool delivered and always ask me, I will make another run of my Quality Katana handle. The handle is easy to install and comes with several color filters that can be changed at will.
If you are interested, please send me a PM and I take you on the list. (Actuall it can take up to 3 weeks to get them ready) The price is between 87-94 USD (including shipping) depending on the payment method.

Thank you all.
I appreciate it very much.

The handle is Shipped from Switzerland.
Normal Shipping-time is between 7 to 20 Days.

But like i wrote it can take up to 3 Weeks to get them Ready.
I don't planned to do more and have no stock.
Also i have done a List now first come first serve.

In case you wonder. I do some more of my handles and if I saw that correct here on Pinside it costs you only 15 dollar more than this, including shipping from oversea. You would also be able to change the Colorfilters 8 Colorfilters included.
My material is tested shockproof.
And I don't start the conversation about the designe. The only thing you need to have is a bit of patient because It takes a bit of time to do them.

Hey! Thank you so much for directing people to me. Your support means a lot! I underwent a job change and moved homes, which kept me away for over a year. It's been a good motivator to get back into it. It's great to hear that the katana handle remains one of your favorite mods.
