Quoted from E_Gpinball:

I won't be able to purchase my own rick and morty pin, but if I did, I would love to have:
*a pickle rick flipper topper for the upper flipper
*a plumbus plunger
*if the plunger idea doesn't work then a plumbus toy on a coil that shakes is around would suffice

Just overlay the launch button with a plumbus, it will still function as a switch. Might be fun to push something squishy to launch the ball.

I was planning on making a plumbus out of TPU as a prototype. Just make a thin but large apron surrounding the plumbus, this will serve as a backing to hold it to the pin... then you reaffix the launch button to hold it in place.

The best (easiest, best quality and for volume) way to approach this is by creating a negative for casting out of silicone once the prototype is demonstrated to install easily and function... once printed and smoothed, use oil-based clay (designed for silicone molding) to make the negative. Once you have a negative it is as simple as setting up a molding box, pouring, curing, then cleaning up the mold.

Some quick concepts, with and without text. Designer is modeling. Sorry, no high res pics of the game that I know of but you get the idea. Would bit lit from behind like original button. I am working on a plan to have a swirling LED display behind it to have light effects.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Not bad - there is a high resolution picture of the lockdown bar in the main RaM thread that has a better representation of the purple... this might be a better photo to approximate the proper color (assuming you are using something like Photoshop to pull the hex value for the purple in the photo).

My wife is a big fan of the BSE armor color.

Quoted from kermit24:

How are you going to produce these? Will you be able to avoid the 3D printed "texture"?

If printed in ABS, a simple acetone vapor chamber can smooth out any "ridges" with minimal loss of detail. He also may be using SLA or creating casts/injection molds using the 3D printed objects - many ways to go about this.
