    Not for pinball stuff but I have colleagues who have ordered a few random bits through them.

    I'd personally just print them myself and deal with any precision issues with hand filing and finishing of the part.

    I'm not sure I'd use anything on the playfield. Printed parts dont look like injection molded parts unless you do a lot of finishing.

    There are also a variety of parts on Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/search/page?q=pinball

    I haven't found myself needing them yet. I could see using my 3d printer to recreate the gears for a stepper unit. Everything is big enough that it should be fine.
