Got it done. Need to sand and polish, but it looks so much better than plastic ramp for me. And the straight design just works.
I need to move the flasher towards the flippers, the flasher is now on inside rail not the outer.

Quoted from Loganpinball:

Not sure? I already like this line better, just visually it works. Still working on it...

Good deal, was just tossing that out in case it was an issue...

#53 2 years ago

Left side is getting there, but right side was way easier to figure out. I do like the look of them so far. Working on transition and adapter.

Looking good!, I just had a random thought you could make it really snazzy by making one or two of the rings oversized and connect to the wire forms with a pattern that mimics the arc reactor. I am good at thinking up things for other people to do!

Came up with a hook and loop support arm. Super easy and holds in place.

Finished. I will post a play video soon. I relocated left side flasher to below wireform. Its a small dome one. The big flashers just are too much on the inside of rails visually.

Playtesting wireforms. I need to raise back end up. I dropped it too much, but heres a video of the rails.

#58 2 years ago

Amazing, I love seeing how quickly you go from concept to execution on all these games!

I really hate plastic ramps!

Quoted from Mbecker:

Thank you Sir. My wife is on me about getting back to my Discovery machine. I told her I became allergic to keyboards.

Quoted from mmuglia:

Are you selling these?

Yes I will be. I want to make a few sets to get costs figured out and I want to make a few changes to design. Flashers on left rail specifically and I need to make this a easy to do at home kit. I have 28 sets of gotg rails to make before I get serious with these. I will figure it out.

Quoted from Louwie:

possible to buy this for shippin to Europe?

Not sure. I have had real issues with international shipping. I lost $204 to ups on a shipment that never left the U.S. i shipped at a ups store and they said I did not have to fill out forms. Package gets held up, I get customer service on the phone for 45 minutes. They send me a form to fill out by email. I submit it 30 minutes later. Two days go by and they sent the package back to me and will not adjust or refund the $204.

How do you clean the final ramp to remove the welding marks? Do you polish, chrome or coat to improve the final finish?

Quoted from Pinballer73:

Medium stone dremel, 220 grit sanding, 320 grit sanding, stainless steel polish compound with a bench buffer and then a dremel buffer wheel followed by carnuba wax/cleaner. Worst part of building them. Very time consuming.

I'd love this for me Xmen LE

It is on my list of games to get. So far no luck.

The stainless shines really well. Here are pictures of gotg rails polished and sanded.

Sick, man. Really nice. I still ain't cutting my ramps, but I had to take a peek. Gonna make some other crazies happy.

#71 2 years ago

i was thinking if you are planning to sell these might contact freeplay 40 about making some half ramps for people who don't want to cut their ramps .

Its a good idea, but there is a cost limit to mods and two ramps plus the wireforms would be too expensive a mod in the end. I would also be willing to cut and fit the ramps if they were sent to me as an option. As I said earlier I will be working more on these when I can swing the free time.

Thank you. Appreciate all the comments above too. Looks like I am sticking with making everything by hand. I got a quote on a bending machine today. And its only 2d capable for $20k.

I want to try and come up with a solution that does not require destroying the plastic ramps. If I can I will be selling them if I get there.
