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.
