Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:

Sounds extreme. What about drilling and adding a center post with rubber? Balls heading sdtm could be managed better.

Or just buy the combo outlane protector/center post plastic mod with removable top mounted center post...and not drill your playfield. Pinball Life and Marco both sell the set. The kit gives you 3 setup options...I just put the big clear protector on mine. You don't even really see it. It also comes with a set of clear outlane
"ball-hop" protectors if you want to just run them without the center post mod, and it has a set of green slime outlane protectors if you are into the modded look.

Quoted from PinMonk:

Can you send me the file and I'll try printing one here?

There are machines out that can 3d print and infuse carbon fiber as well as fiberglass into the print. They use them for making machining fixtures and full strength prototype parts. Our CAD software reseller has been bugging us to buy one, but our current SLA machine meets our needs. If you can find someone locally that has one, it would be the cat's ass for this part.

1:20 to 1:30 in new the Head to Head podcast sheds some light on the GB code. Long story short, "Are you a god" wasn't supposed to be there. Dwight now will have time to work on old code issues on his games once he is done with Munsters, because Stern now has 9 internal coders and 3 outside coders. Dwight is the last lead programmer to come off a project after all these new hires have come on, so he will have a lot of time to revisit code like Lyman has been able to do. Fingers crossed?

I am actually thinking about making a removable piece that will go around the bottom post of each slingshot assembly which would take a couple degrees of angle out of the slingshot rubber. The cheap side drains often times are due to the steep angle of the slingshot rubbers. They seem to be steeper on GB than on other games, so it shoots the ball right to the outlane. A couple degrees here may make a difference. I would also have to make a couple "shoes" to extend the kicker arm and the lower slingshot switch as well.
