I have also most completed a final version of DH. The final model will be white with a colored door and the sign on the roof. This will replace the unsightly bare metal piece. It will use the existing screws. The roof is Spanish tile from Plasticstruct.

I can also make the building other colors if desired. Still thinking about pricing.

The white colored Donut Heaven building as I type!

image.jpg

Here it is.

Here it is installed. I have to move the holes lower but getting very close. The bracket is no longer there and uses the existing screws.

Moving the holes down as I type. It will fit. Fellow pinsider working on adding an LED mod to gently light it.

It's gonna fit for sure. Here is what I am thinking on the left side but your feedback is welcome. The left side has that blank piece of plastic. I am making a road with 3d features. It will have a 1/32 cop car model with a flashing light bar. It will also have 3 street lights. The rub here is that the car is not scale to the building.

Maybe I should put a hot wheels scale cop car(s) on that piece and it would match the building better. I will get some mock ups here soon. The hot wheel version would not have a flashing light bar. The street lights will work too.

Of course this all depends when I get it all together.

Here is a quick mock up. The building needs a bit more sizing so the glass fits. I did a quick prototype of a road which I added a hot wheels scale car. Now the road is elevated because of the wire form.

I never intended for this to fit as one scale piece. Would the hot wheels 1/64 scale car look better or the 1/32 car. I will add the other pic here soon.

Wanted it to match the DMD picture...see first post.

There it fits.

Sending the model to a fellow pinsider today for LED installation so by end of week it will be ready.

I think the roof should say Donut Heaven

Did this last night. The decal will be more colorful, just black and white now.

The cop cars and road would be separate from DH. It will replace that large piece of clear plastic.

Yes the prototype is with a fellow pinsider to have a multiple colored selectable LED installation completed. I am thinking within two weeks we will be mass producing.

I will take pics with several variations so we can determine the best one. Somewhat limited by the height.

Update from my partner

I have 20 harnesses made up, and the soft white LEDs are en route. The tracking shows them to be in Chicago, so it won't be long now. My daughter designed a donut shop silhouette for the inside of the opaque windows. In one of the windows there is a fat cop holding a donut. I'll get pictures this weekend.

Agree, on Saturday going to work on a face forwarding sign with LED backlighting.

The board on the printer went out should be getting a new one this week.

Here is the prototype with a lighted inside. Also working on relocating the sign to the front and it will be back lighted.

Yep, Spanish tile top. Going to make the sign blue. Everything is 3d printed except the roof.

I am going crazy myself. I can't wait. I just have the plain prototype installed and it looks great. The LED version is going to be fantastic. Soon. Soon.

Also check this project out.

The sign will be backlit with LEDs. A 2 inch strand will be inside the sign.

Anyone that expresses any interest such as yourself I will make sure you are on the list for direct communication when it is finished.

I met you this year at the PHOF. You recommended that I play JM. Guess what it ships next week!

Plug and play. The existing screws attach it.

Guys just waiting for the LED strips...

I was bored yesterday and made a speaker for my buddy's Metallica.

Final version will have LEDs with alligator clips to attach to an existing connection. No soldering.

I called Makerbot and they are overnighting my parts so I should receive them tomorrow. My support ticket got lost in electron heaven.

I have written everyone's name down that has expressed interest so no worries about not getting one. I plan to fill all the orders.

The final pricing will be finished after the LEDs are installed and the final model is complete.

Another revision. Need to fit the sign just a bit better. The roof was a piece of scrap and it a little short. Still waiting on the LEDs. I added a 'Open for 24 hours' decal on the side.

$60 no LEDs. $75 with LEDs, choice of red, blue and amber. Free shipping withing the US.

I will start notifying everyone that has send me a note or made a comment that they are interested when I make theirs. If not interested, I will move to the next person.

I am already balled out. I have like 14 more projects going and I had to stop at some point.

Production has begun. You have several colored windows to choose from. Here is gray primer and red. I did it in the dark so the sign does not show up as good as on the machine.

The battery is just for test purposes.

Production has begun. You have several colored windows to choose from. Here is gray and yellow. You can also choose clear.

Anyone that has expressed interest or PMed me, has an opportunity to pick one of these up. I will be PMing each of you as I get to your order to choose LEDs or not and the window color. I am trying to make 10 a week.

Anyone wanting the Donut Heaven without LEDs I have 7 ready for shipping. LEDs arriving tomorrow.

Production rolling. Number 1 and 2 off the line, going in the mail.

Go here to purchase.

I will ship to you, just need to figure to get that setup in the store.

The inside of the building only. I gotta get my pictures fixed.

Here is a video with it installed to flash when the kickback targets are hit. I set this up for mine so you are looking that way when it flashes. There is a huge hole below the Donut Heaven spot so it is a piece of cake to drop the wires down and clip on with alligator clips to the flasher. I can also provide optional lengths of wire so you can choose to hook it up to anything 12v or less. This includes a lamp that is on all the time.

Billy take a pic. You got #1. I got to see it next to the mountain

I prefer setting up to any of the many flashers. When it is continuously illuminated you can see the shadow of the switches. The reason the DH is put here is that it covers the locked balls and it only requires the existing 2 screws to install.

At least when I was playing with it while it was continuously lighted it really did not bother me. You can always go with the non LED version, it's all up to personal preference.

Shipping to Australia and Canada added to the ordering site.

Just shoot me. It's a very cool picture with the mountain in the background. Maybe post tomorrow.

I DID IT!

Blue windows now in stock. image-513.jpg

If someone wants to do that I can manufacture them. I just don't have time, since I am trying to complete the Duff can and tornado for WOZ. I am just tacking in the plastic windows so in the future you could replace it.

Better pictures of amber, gray, primer gray and redimage-134.jpgimage-428.jpgimage-24.jpgimage-588.jpg

I am planning to produce a vinyl decal that will be applied to a clear piece of plastic that can easily be attached to the existing windows to better hide the switches inside the house.

For those that have already ordered, they will receive a free one on my dollar. For those that have not ordered, it will be available as a very cheap option to pick from.

Thank you for all the input, I thought this through and I gotta make this happen.

Thanks, I am trying not to do mods that will not require a software update. Haha.

PLA.

Thanks for the nice review. The install is simple on these, there is a nice sized hole below the switches the connection drops through to connect to the playfield to a 12v power source. No soldering required. I finally installed one of my own last night.

The only thing left is to get multiball and enjoy this nice addition.

Yes sir, production is in full swing.

You dream can come true here.

My install pics. Flashes when the right kickback targets are hit.

Hobbylinc.com has a ton of textured sheets also. I was originally going to build the model from this stuff alone but it just did not work out. I actually use their Spanish tile, I think the O scale, for the roof.

Sending my decal gal a Donut Heaven tomorrow as a matter of fact.

Need some feedback on an insert decal for the windows. What shall we put on it? Here is a quick sample.

viewer.png

I will make sure you get the decal.

How about this one? Give me some feedback. I am already going to have detail added to the door. Floor Mart will be deleted too.

Untitled.png

Maybe a combo, characters and signs. Remember we are trying to hide those damn switches.

Bump for the Aussies

I still have not finalized a design. Thanks for more input. I will get at least two versions.

Has anyone hooked this up to any other flashers or just a 12v source? Enquiring minds want to know.

I just looked at the manual and the bolts are not listed. I will take mine to the hardware store and size them up.

Good feedback on the silhouette design, I will get back to it.

I was waiting for you. Congratulations on your new pin. Go here http://mezelmods.com

Don't be afraid. You have a beautiful machine and that piece of metal has to go!
