I've been after a freddy for a while now and finally got one a couple months ago. Machine was non functional in half a dozen different ways so I found myself spending some quality time with the system 3 board set. Happy to say that I sorted all the issues and the game plays great!

One thing that really bugged me from day one was the vacuum formed Freddy's house which looks nothing like the house in the films. A few hours (okay, a lot of hours) of modeling, 3d printing and painting resulted in the house pictured below. Could have taken a better picture...but I'm having too much fun playing the game to remove the glass right now!

Thanks for the compliment! I've thought about making a couple more though I'll need to make one or two revisions before I'd feel comfortable offering them. Love the idea of using the flame bulb, currently I've got a red and an orange flasher in there to create the fire illusion.

Not yet. I've got the Portland Retro Gaming Expo coming up in a month and preparation for that is sucking up all my time. Plan is to work on finishing the house and the two TFTC mods I've got in proto stage right after the show.

Have you checked the shooter lane switch in switch test?

Mine sticks there as well. I ended up putting a rubber ring around the two posts to eliminate the gap.

After half a dozen redesigns and fixes I'm finally happy with the house mod I designed years ago. Many of the assets on the pin are from the third movie so I modeled this after the dilapidated house in that film. Anything is better than the original Freddy shed that comes in the machine!

I made a few extras and set up a pinside shop for anyone who wants one. These do take a couple days to print and paint thus inventory will be added as I finish them.

I haven't had any issues with that on this design. The side which the ball exits from has a large cutout to allow the ball to travel freely. On the player facing side the house sits above the rails just a bit to account for a bounce coming off the plunger or an imperfectly aligned auto plunger. The ball hasn't contacted the house in the hundred or so games I've played with it installed.

Love this color! I was set on doing purple for my machine but this may have just changed my mind.
