Quoted from RobbyIRL5:

After finally reaching the visitor center, been toying around with the the other aspects of the game:
T-REX modes - started 3 of them, multiball, chase, and rampage. Then the Jeep flips didn’t do anything to advance this any more. What needs to happen between the 3rd T-REX mode and Museum Madness?
Thanks!

Quoted from ectobar:

There are 4 TRex modes and then Museum. All started the same way. Hit truck to spell T-REX then shoot the ramp to start.

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

As some of you may know, I created a couple of Barbasol can mods for the DE Jurassic Park. Around the same time, a couple of versions were being developed for the new Stern JP. One was interactive with exposed vials by flashinstinct and another was a flasher cover by Mezel (I developed and sold both styles for DE JP). Unfortunately, I know that @flashistinct had a limited run and is no longer producing his version. As a new owner of the Stern Jurassic Park, I wanted to work this element into the game somehow. As a courtesy to flashinstinct , before I started down this path I first communicated with him to see if he was okay with me designing a mod that was similar to his, and he gave me the thumbs up.
While I've been thinking about the mod for a couple of weeks now, I finally started modelling today. I wanted to do something smaller in scale so that it wasn't visually overpowering, yet still representative of the Barbasol can in the movie, and proportional to the real can. My idea ended up being to replace the Control Room dome flasher with the Barbasol can while maintaining the OEM flasher to illuminate its exposed vials.
I just finished 3D printing prototype alpha (i.e. my very first trial print of my first design), so I wanted to share it with everyone. This version is not the final, but just a proof of concept.
Based upon this trial, here are the updates I'm going to make to the model:
- Increase size so that diameter is the save as the hole in the plastic
- Add some additional height at the based so that the threads are visible and not completely hidden under the plastic
- This will make the overall model 1cm taller than what is pictured
- Add tab to base so that it will be mounted to the same screw as the current dome is
- Print the vials in a semi-translucent chartreuse color (filament is on order) so that they actually have the appearance of illuminated and will be close to the color of the liquid in the movie
- Can abnormalities will be fixed
- Barbasol label will be applied
I'll be making myself one of these mods regardless, but before moving forward too much I wanted to gauge interest from the JP ownership group. I know some of you already have the flashinstinct original and some have purchased the Mezel version too, so this mod wouldn't be for you. However, with the recent new wave of JP owners I thought their might be a market for a Barbasol can with exposed vials. My estimated selling price will be around $45 including US shipping (international shipping will be on a per quote basis). My target date to have the mod finalized and ready to show/sell is within the next couple of weeks. I'm not taking pre-orders or requiring any payments at this time, but please let me know if you might be interested. When the time comes, I will offer these "on demand", so there will be no limits set on the quantities I will be selling.

Quoted from Parkshow30:

Mystery deepens with my truck problems. It won’t sense a hit at all but if there is a ball search it registers a hit. Tried it a few times to make sure it wasn’t a fluke and sure enough 2 more ball searches give me 2 more T. rex letters but no amount of hitting the truck will give me a letter.

Quoted from Parkshow30:

Switch test performed perfect. Played a game right after and it won’t register a hit. Went into switch test mode again and Jeep won’t register.

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

In that middle pic, is the tab going between both pairs of optos at the same time (I don't think that's right)?
Is there any play in the collar on the shaft?
Loosen the set screw, and make 100% sure that the set screw is positioned against the flat portion of the shaft and not on a rounded part.

Quoted from Parkshow30:

Yes it looks like when I spin the truck one way it covers more than one opto and when I spin it the other way it doesn’t cover one all the way. There is very little play not much. I will loosen the set screw and try to align it better and see if that helps, thanks.

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

So, if you start a game and turn the Jeep by hand does it advance T-Rex?

Quoted from Parkshow30:

It does not. Will not turn the map either.
Also was trying to align it again and the washers fell off and I didn’t see what order they fell off in. Does it go Regular washer, bearing washer then regular washer again then the paddle thing with the set screws?

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

The bearings sit between two washers.

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

My next idea would be to test the optos on there own in switch test to see if they perform consistently. You could remove the collar and block optos with a card or something. The should respond every time you break the beam. If not, maybe there is a hardware issue. I don’t think it would matter, but you could try reloading firmware. Reaching the end of my troubleshooting. You may need to report issue and diagnostics to Stern.

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

I would disconnect and reconnect the cable at the opto board for kicks. Maybe clean the Optos too.

Quoted from Parkshow30:

Pulled the cable and plugged it back in no change. How would you clean the optos? Spray with compressed air? Wipe with a cloth?
Found an old post about cleaning optos. They said use a q tip dipped in a little windex. No change

For those of you who ordered the orange raptor pit lenses, look what just showed up at my door.
I need to get this filament dialed in since I haven't used it before, then production will start (might be after Thanksgiving sometime).
[quoted image]

Quoted from freegame450:

Here are your numbers Mr.T
Does anyone here actually possess a can of Barbasol shaving cream? I'm looking for the exact dimensions so that the can on my mod will be proportional to the real thing. If so, here is what I need (mm are best, but I can deal with fractional inches):
- Diameter of can at center (not the bottom ring) 2.27”
- Overall height from bottom to top of cap 6.45”
- Height of bottom cylinder only including the rings at top & bottom of cylinder 4.78”
- Height of vertical taper (the white part) - i.e. ruler is vertical and not slanted on the taper (from top of can to bottom of nozzle) .53”
- Diameter of taper at top 1.47”
- Diameter of blue nozzle/cap at bottom 1.37”
- Diameter of blue nozzle/cap at top 1.13”
- Height of blue nozzle/cap .61”[quoted image]

Quoted from brickbuilder14:

Hey, does anyone have any advance on how to increase the strength of the magnet on the t rex? it spits out the ball so many times on clean shots. Thanks

Quoted from Eskaybee:

Pro or Prem? And are you sure it’s the magnet? I’ve been fighting the T-REX grab consistency pretty much since day 1 (2-3 weeks now) and think I finally have a break thru *knock on wood*
T-REX adjustment:
Try playing with feature adjustment #331 (premium model). This adjusts the T-REX jaw to the ramp. The higher the number, the higher up the jaw adjusts, not putting as much pressure on the ramp. The lower the adjustment value, the closer to the ramp it puts it. I had to put mine higher as my T-REX was close to the ramp. I’m only a few games in since playing with this adjustment, but so far it’s been noticeably better. [quoted image]

Next is the Pterodactyl and I have to plant some trees[quoted image][quoted image]

Also, I need to do some planting too. Is that just some hotglue holding those trees on?

Nice what Brontosaurus is that and how did you mount it?

Also got some wire off Amazon to mount the pterodactyl and brontosaurus. Here is a link for that: amazon.com link »
I will edit this post sometime tomorrow with some pics and details how I mounted it.

Quoted from brickbuilder14:

So unfortunately thats not the issue I am having. I am able to shoot it into the mouth with ease. So the magnet works fine. The problem is it must not sense that the ball is in there. When I start T Rex Multiball for example it successfully starts the mode by passing the opti switch on the ramp. but then the mode starts without ever opening up and releasing the ball . And when I try to start T Rex Chase it won't let me start the mode because when I shoot it in the mouth it simply spits it back out. Any Suggestions? Thanks for your help!
