Beyond amazing. The whole game looks so impressive. Really like the unique design of the backbox. I really like the design of the right side, and the shot into the wire ramp. It is very very smooth in the test video.
Curious to see what is going opposite side of the scuba guy on top. I see the light ready for something.

Quoted from stefanmader:thank you, i quite don't know exactly what i'll make next to the diver on top. I thought of something like a big "Deep Blue Rage" Sign and some corals.
On the playfield i also have some empty spaces where i didn't decide yet what will go over the flashers.
That sounds perfect. It should be the sign that says the game name. Corals and maybe your red octopus would be awesome.
Quoted from stefanmader:and the 4Ball Multiball with 30s ball saves
Bloody hell, that is playing absolutely awesome. Minion octo looks fantastic. Ramps smooth, spinner is great. What decal you putting on the spinner?
Quoted from stefanmader:the anglerfish is finished
also covered some stuff with "corals".[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
It just keeps getting better and better! Angler fish is excellent. Coral is a nice touch troop. Are you going to add a treasure chest full of gold? Maybe light it up with a corresponding jackpot shot.
The black one that has the wood background looks really good.
Maybe make the Octopus hold a pinball or a flipper, just so others know it’s a pinball T shirt.
Or make the Octopus over your pinball machine.
The shirt looks great as is as well!
Quoted from stefanmader:swapped out the right and left flipper assembly for some new ones yesterday. The upperflipper will get one of those as well if it fits.
It's incredible what problems appear when working on a pinball machine. I've screwd the left flipper as tight as possible, but the flippershaft still manages to turn with all the forces... i think i will roughen the shaft up a little, hopefully that works. I already broke a screw from tightening.

I have run into the same problem with the flipper shaft. I used some emery clothy to take the shine of the shaft and it would hold no problem after that.
Quoted from stefanmader:I havent had a good idea for Lord Rage on the backbox yet. I made this mockup, i like how it looks, but it is much to small.
So i think i will take some cardboard and draw up a bigger head and go from there. I already have a functioning motor on the backbox. I want a little bit of movement, but i guess that will be the next problem, when everything is bigger, that it might be to heavy.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Go way bigger. Twice the size of the diver. See how it looks.
Quoted from stefanmader:I think so too. i made a 3d printed base already, printing it right now. i will try it with 2 hard springs. hope that will hold the weight. a tiny, but strong motor will push a little piece to wobble it. it will be very slow, but a coil is just too loud outside the cabinet.
on top goes a cardboard construction. and then i will model details on top with epoxy sculpt. let's see how that goes.
but right now i'm pretty confident that this will all work
What about getting a custom LED sign, super cheap on AliExpress. Just send them your logo, light it up blue. Could mount that at the back, diver and Octopus in front and can wrap a tentacle(s) around it.
Quoted from stefanmader:i think i cant get away with just gluing the jellyfisch in this spot. the Leds will wie covered and not further action is required
Could you do a color changing LED under the jelly? Could be a nice effect.

Beak or no beak on the octopus? It looks so good! Marvel at your artistic ability.
What are the plans for the tentacles? Light up suction cups on the tentacles could be amazing.
