Quoted from matthies:Finally able to test the ramp to see if it actually works. I designed it without knowing whether it would work or not, so it was a massive relief to see this:

I was surprised by how smoothly the ball landed on the wireforms and by how fairly light shots still made it up the ramp entrance.
I still have some work to do on each end of the wireform, but here's how it looks on the playfield:

I'm not a fan of how some ramps will bounce the ball around before releasing it to the playfield because it looks clunky. So my goal is to have a smooth exit that releases the ball a bit faster than normal towards the flippers. I'm sure I'll need to add extra protection to the playfield, but I want a fast and smooth ramp exit.
I'm glad I stumbled across this thread. Great work on the ramps! I look forward to watching the progress of this HB and seeing it in action someday!
