    I want to try to make an own playfield protector.
    I can't find 0.5mm thickness, only 0.8mm.

    Will 0.8 mm be ok or is it too thick?

    The material is Macrolon.

    Thanks!

    Actually, I am having it laser cut at the same shop that is selling this.

    Given that I don't do the cutting myself, is 0.8 mm OK to use, or still a no-go?

    Quoted from solarvalue:

    You will get ball hang-ups if it is too thick.

    Ok, thanks. I suppose u mean ball hangs between the protector edge and playfield? But as I am designing it myself, I figure I can make the cutting so that it goes all the way to wood, covering the whole playfield, unlike a traditional protector that has larger hole cuts to perhaps make installation easier?

    Then again, I am only speculating as I never done any protector instals before.
