I really love the homebrew section here, so i wanted to share my own first homebrew pinball using a P3Roc and mpf. It's theme is our vacation from 2018 through the yucatan area in mexico. It features the places we visit and some inside jokes. The Code is very basic. Everyshot to a ramp increases the value, there is a letter jackpot, and starting at the parrot target, a defined order to hit the next targets to get a bonus. The multiball didn't really work how i initially intended, so it is now a TNA styled 2 ball multiball. The left ramp is from The Machine - Bride of Pinbot.
I have definitly some things i would do better next time, but overall it plays well and is fun.

Thank you very much

thank you,
well i ran the backglass graphic through a pic-to-comic software, so that our faces are not to clear

Fiesta Mexicana is not includes , for our vacation video i used a couple of songs, and for the pinball i used the same.

Yes Boslaw i designed everything in inkscape. And the cool thing is, i can export the shapes as an svg, import that in for example in the free tinkercad and make it 3d print ready.

on my new homebrew Deep Blue Rage i wanted to use more metal guides, but since the stores where closed, i decided to 3d print them as well.

thank you very much alexmogil

Yes Deep Blue Rage is my current project. Thank you, oh yes i am absolutely satisfied with the 3D printed guides. They do need to be a bit thicker, the material is very brutal. When printing the plungerlane i found that it is best to print the parts on the side, so that the ball rolls with the 3d printed lines. When the ball rolls 90 degrees to the lines, there is a lot of rattling noises.
on the ramp on the left, the line go 90 degrees against the ball movement, but it still doesn't slow the ball down.

Hey cool, where were you in Austria?

thank you very much Nokoro

Since my Homebrew Deep Blue Rage is nearly finished, i already think of improving my Trip to Yucatan. And i came to the conclusion that i will make a new playfield. So there will be more inserts, virtual locks instead of physical locks, change the scoop position, a new ramp in front of the bumper, a kickout hole underneath the new ramp.

Here the old design

That will be the new playfield.
Im not a designer, just tried to improve my old grafic a little.

And playfield is cut.

IMG_20210527_185946.jpg

Yes handcut, have just one where i cut a bit too far,everything else went pretty good.
fitting in the inserts will take some work but for todayvi have enough

Fitting in the inserts

Inserts are glued in, Playfield is sanded

IMG_20210531_173244.jpg

And clear coated

IMG_20210531_174303.jpg

The art print is again a little to big... That really bugs me, but i will leave it like this. I have a separate print with black lines on transparent. So i can at least hide the inserts corners perfectly.

this will be my new ramp

the idea is, when the ball goes up the left way, it will come back down on the right side. When it goes up the right way, it should drop down in the middle. there will be a kickouthole waiting for the ball.

Thank you. Yes i love MPF. I will rewrite the code for Trip to Yucatan in near future, i will make it a little bit more complex than it is now. On my second homebrew Deep Blue Rage i learned a lot and i want to bring that back to my first.

Thank you. I will start to rebuild the playfield soon, have to finish the last things on Deep Blue Rage first

they work very well. I started with a vector drawing on my playfield design, and then just exported it to tinkercad to put in some detail. so you can make any shape you want.

I've marked in public in tinkercad, so you should find it here:
https://www.tinkercad.com/things/dGmqvjnCg6y

i will look into making a thingiverse account sometime.

you're welcome

Starting with tearing down the old playfield.
Really didn't expect that the new ramp would fit under the glass, but it does.
