I understand that you try to fix the stuff yourselfs but do tell your distributor about it, that way they can tell Stern that the person in the factory who tigthens the nuts and bolts to do their job proparly.
Otherwise the problems keep happening?

About the raptor pit problems

So my one way gate in the raptor pit broke after about 4 games last night...anyone else had this issue?
I've emailed Stern already and I'm sure they will take care of it, just curious if it is a common thing or if this was a bit of a freak incident.[quoted image][quoted image]

And this

Our Raptor pit was not tightened down (at all) and the ball was getting hung up/caught in there. It wasn’t until a dozen or so games in... that we realized that the gate was never tightened down, but just hanging in there

And this

Couple things...
My ball gets stuck a lot in the raptor cage between the gate and a post rubber to the left, and the same thing happens at the one way gate above the spinner in the middle. Any solutions?

Also table is level on all 4 legsbut my glass is super hard to get in/out... best way to pry the side rails loose a little?

And there was an other one smewhere in this topic.
No serious damage but as a company this stuff is something you want to adress

All i ment is call your distro
Sure a loose post can happen, some locktite is fine but let them do it in company , im sure Stern wants/needs to know about problems to make adjustments or better processes

Format it at Fat 32?

Try installing again

No rabbit hole, go for it!

Maybe print a ring with a dragging contact that drags possitive and negative "wires" over another ring ? Or use the shaft for negative?

Maybe a contraption like this?
