nice, professional looking kit. I'm in for one as well

ps
did you decide to do anything with a clear or semi opaque piping to bring the light from the SMDs on the saucer boards up to the holes in the saucers themselves?

anxiously awaiting notification that my 2nd payment portion is due so that I know mine will be coming soon

same here!

no shipping info email for me I have just sent you a [real] email with all of the details

this is exactly what I was asking applejuice about. great job! (I was going to design something 3D printed to hold the rods, but it appears that would have been overkill.

I've ordered 5 1' length pieces off of ebay, but will only need 6" (at best) for myself. depending on how easily it is to cut and polish I may offer up the remaining stock pre-cut, polished and ready to install if applejuice doesn't have any issues with that

excellent! I'm looking forward to seeing an update with new light patterns

any update on when we may see an update for the software?

possible suggestion: light patterns that match what the mothership lights are doing?

just an fyi:
the buyers of this mod can re-use the original saucers from their machines. the glue holding the original green domes isn't that strong that you can't break it free from from the saucer (you just need to be really, really careful).

one of the domes from my machine (prior to purchasing the mod) had 3 of the 4 locking tabs broken off, so I had to purchase a new dome and I was able to separate the 2 parts to swap domes.

looking forward to see those aluminium saucers!

they look great. I like the stippled metal look . I would definitely be in for a set of the metal grey ones

3mm acrylic rods cost about $5 for five 8" long pieces. sure, it's a bit of work to cut them down and finish them so that the light defuses correctly, but a lot cheaper than fibre optic cable.

I picked up acrylic rods but haven't had time to mod my saucers yet. my thought is to add some shielding (possibly 3D printed) on the underside to eliminate the light "leaking". I'll post pics when I finally get around to it. (not a lot of pinball-related stuff gets done in the summertime)

if the cuts are not curved (or rounded), a jig could be made to perform the following:
- make the cut (at the proper angle) on the one end
- flip the acrylic rod around into a channel (that is the proper length) with a matching angle to hold the rod in the proper orientation to make the 2nd cut

just out of curiosity, how to you re-program the controller?

I'm assuming that you need a mini-usb type cable to plug into the little board, but what else?
is there a software package that you need to install? do you have to remove the controller board from the mod first?

maybe this is all on your website (which is blocked from work), but it would be nice if there was an instructional guide on how to do this

I logged into my account today but I'm not seeing any software updates available. are these still forthcoming?

still not seeing the update available for download. any updates?

thank you

what does the version 1.1.0 software update do and how do you update the board?

thanks. not sure how I missed that a year ago.
