Quoted from High_End_Pins:Then back to the Knockout.
The original post are very yellowed so I ordered more.
The new ones don’t even kind of match one another.
My only solution to have a nice matching set of post will be to shave the tall ones down.
Hey your Knockout is looking beautiful so far! Totally not trying to hijack your thread here -- someone referred me over here to share this with you, due to what you went through with your posts. I've been 3D printing some beautiful colored posts to replace the old white ones. Coincidentally, the first pin I ever tried this on (that I'd forgotten about, because I didn't have my own printer yet) was actually a Knockout! I'd gotten short-changed in my white posts order from a popular vendor, and rather than wait for more, I asked my friend to print some for me -- but decided to try them in red. I put them along the rollover lanes up top and they looked awesome, like they were meant to be there:
Since then, I've started printing my own (and have created an improved model to print from) and turned it into a little side gig. I print them in all different colors -- and even multicolored ones like three colors stacked vertically or even six colors striped at an angle! I have them in the three main sizes, 1", 1-1/16", and 1-1/8", and even make the elusive Siamese ones. See pics below.
You obviously already put a ton of work into making your white ones work, with all the grinding and whatnot, but if you're interested in trying colored ones instead, this could make your game (or others in the future) pop even more. Please reach out if I can help, they're in my shop here on Pinside (https://pinside.com/pinball/market/shops/1282-rocket-city-pinball) or on my website, https://rocketcitypinball.com .
