FWIW, @PINSTEIN helped me get my Laser Ball translite made, very happy with his work!
I made this translite for my NGG.
Looks pretty good, only a little darker than the original so I had to install brighter LED's behind it. So it shows as being brighter (in spots) in the pic than in reality.

Quoted from pinballdork:Made a Alt translite with art purchased online. I changed the jewel in her head piece to red, and I will put a lamp behind it to light when her ruby lights. Also put a little blue Genie in it.

Quoted from Mahoyvan:Roland update: Our machine can’t do white, but our next machine will when we upgrade. Apparently it will be able to print metallic as well which will be super rad.

Not a great shot but here’s an ALT Demolition Man translite

Nice and light - I don’t miss the heavy glass! As a bonus and something that I couldn’t do with glass, I put a working clock in the body of Tock, the watchdog.
