How many Nip-It owners have been searching for a ball grabber unit for years? I imagine there are/will be unique components that are unobtainable and too difficult to fabricate yourself.

Quoted from EJS:Anytime I get an EM added to the collection I’m calling Steve for parts you cannot make on your own.
Making pop bumper bodies and wafers etc on your own would seem much harder than making a ball gate. I’m sure someone would step up with a 3D printer but is the plastic formula going to hold up over time and the abuse from a ball?
I just cut the anxiety and get what I need while I can get it. Yes EM parts have always been readily available forever. But a lot of that relies on Steve and he isn’t going to be forever. Even if someone takes over for him I’d assume that business would need to be modernized and there would be down time.[quoted image]
Looks like you might be able to start your own EM parts business!
