there is a huge story behind this topper and so many hours and i can speak for hours about that but i will just say:

here is a sneak peek to my Dracula topper. special made for a client and maybe i will make few more for sale. all its a custom design and custom light show special for this game. its also 100% interactive with the game and have some cool special effects, lights effects and tons of details. its BEFORE PAINTING and before coding and controlling the leds. i decide to make something that never done before and it was so much fun so much hours of work and so expensive costs hahahahaha. there is few details thats missing like leds in the bat eyes and skulls and mosaic windows in front of the castle. its takes almost 2 months to make ONE and this topper is very expensive so im not sure if im going to sell more only in private message if someone really wants and have time to wait. now its the time to paint all and to make some CRAZY light show. this topper is full with surprises and small details. i will reveal all soon also there is another 5 more toppers like that for other machines but its will take so much time....

guys i wish you like it and thank you for your time and support

Wow...

I'm impressed. I can tell that you spent a lot of time on this.

#3 4 years ago

Holy cow that’s amazing!

#4 4 years ago

VERY cool!

#5 4 years ago

Can't believe you're only asking $175 for these.

#6 4 years ago

Lior you outdid yourself this time. Great job!

#7 4 years ago

That looks great, too bad I don't own a Dracula.
It would also look good on Americas Most Haunted

#8 4 years ago

That’s different...very cool.

#9 4 years ago

Looks really amazing, Lior.
I am happy I have no dracula.............. So I can save my money, this is a must have for dracula

#10 4 years ago

This is awesome

#11 4 years ago

THANK YOU GUYS
btw a lot of people asking me about that for AMH and ACNC so yes its can be and arch style can be changed. if you want send me a pm

Quoted from tomtest:

Can't believe you're only asking $175 for these.

hahahah yes and i will also fly to install it on buyer machine for 180$ hahaha

#12 4 years ago

Wow this is really cool! If/when you make an ACNC version, I'm in.

#13 4 years ago

I am interested in one when you make one for ACNC.

#14 4 years ago

I would be interested in an ACNC model, as well

#15 4 years ago

What 3D printer are you using?
What's controlling the LED's? Arduino?

Quoted from dudah:

What 3D printer are you using?
What's controlling the LED's? Arduino?

its not all 3d printed only 50% there is a lot of things who was hand sculpted and got a mold and also few things who was made with 5 axis cnc. the thing who was printed was printed in a 200k$ 3d printer sls. its not home or hobby printer. and this thing cannot be printed with regular home 3d printer. and i dont have a cheap hobby 3d printers. only for professional use
no no arduino or raspberry pi sorry but i cant tell but i can tell this controller was control the leds in the last eurovision. its over 600 pixels. so this arduino dosent have memory for that so its not a 50$ cheap controller.

Quoted from gambit3113:

I would be interested in an ACNC model, as well

send me pm. i can make it in same design but arch or other details can be change.
its not a stock item or something like that. if you want one you must order first because the cost is really expensive and its custom made

Quoted from Maide:

Wow this is really cool! If/when you make an ACNC version, I'm in.

thank you as i said above please send me pm for more details for ACNC

#17 4 years ago

Wish I had a Drac but looks awesome!

#18 4 years ago

im getting a lot of messages by facebook or here so i just want to be clear.
this topper was CUSTOM MADE for a client. its over 500 hours of design and another 100 hours on the code. each topper takes over a month or more to make. electronics, painting, printing, sculpting and more.
the cost to make one is over 1000$ for this version so im sorry but its not 200-500$ topper, its custom made and never done before. if you want one to other machine like ACNC yes its can be made but you need to understand custom topper with this kind of details and parts are really expensive i wish it was 500$ topper i was selling 1000 hahaha
one more thing. im sorry but im not selling the 3d files because as i said only 50% of it is 3d printed in professional printer and because its not worth it fr me
if you're interesting or wants any custom work or topper just pm me
thanks for the support i will post photos soon.

here is more progress of the dracula topper. i forgot to take photos with the front leds but the electronics is not ready yet. i still needs to program it. as i said each window or each pixel (600 pixels) can be controlled and also there is 50 kinds of lightning projection on the back and on the castle (like in disney rides) so here is photo with few lights and with the painting without the lights. there is so many hidden effects. i will post photos and videos when its ready soon its looks better in real life.

It looks freaking cool

BUT

Keep in mind it'll be set quite high.
Yours is awesome seen leveled or looking down on it, I have the feeling that a lot of your work won't be seen when it'll be standing on top on a pinball machine

yes thats true i agree . but maybe some day my costumer will sell this machine without the topper so its must be also stand alone i like to be 1000% also when you cant see it. my other mods also painted where you will never see it hahaha i also test it on my machines and yes 10%-15% of the things you cant see when you play. thats why i will add more led effects and special effects

Uh uh, I don't think so.

hahaha it was a joke.

#24 4 years ago

for 1k id definitely not be mounting it on top of the machine where you would only see 50% of it.

#25 4 years ago

I know, awesome work!! Would look cool on my BSD!!

Quoted from russdx:

you can see all of it. the only thing that you cant see is 10-15% of the yard. wait to see it on the machine in a month and do not forget you have so many led effects and special effects and as i said its not stock item for sale its a custom made. but yes its will be also great as stand alone art

Quoted from poppapin:

thank you very much

You will DEFINITELY be able to see most of it....50% non visible is a silly statement. This is custom work with hand painted parts/interactive lighting/many hours of professionally 3D machined love.
Lior is amazing with his work!

50% was a bit of an exaggeration, is there any photos of it on top of a machine? get a better feel for what you can actually see?

its not 50% but yes i will post photos on the machine in a month but i sent you in pm. and after that you can judge

looks far better then i imagined not as much detail lost as i thought id still probably rather have it in my display case then on top of a machine though

Any progress on this?

Edit: Ah, forgot you weren't producing these.

#32 4 years ago

Hey Liori, my mother told me the decals have arrived. Will check them when I am back

Meanwhile I have a question:
Would you sell the topper as a kit? Meaning wiring, 3d prints, the background.?
I am quite good at painting and that's the tidious part so i could do it.
