Quoted from McSquid:

One down. More of a pain than I expected but it still worked out well.[quoted image][quoted image]

How did you manage to bend those rails so perfectly when everybody else's custom rails, including my own, have exit ends that are in some way bent or misshapen?

Quoted from SkyKing2301:

Interesting. Without contacting you, that just seems like lazy reporting / "we're writing about something random we found on the internet so we'll have something to generate clicks / ad revenue".

Yep, that's how it seems. My own build made it to the DIY news sites too (no contact) full of outdated and outright incorrect information.

Quoted from dudah:

The homemade wpc95 guys use sendcutsend.com to have their ball guides laser cut. Then they bend the mounting tabs on a brake

Can confirm, using this on my current homebrew as well. Stainless .048" worked very well for my needs, very sturdy but still reasonably bendable in the shop.

I have a bunch of cutting templates and premade shapes in Inkscape, PM me if you want anything!

Yessss! Can't wait to give this one a shot. I assume they'll have a homebrew section again, so I'll be hanging around nearby!

That's awesome. Very excited to give it a shot three weeks from today!

It was great to meet you yesterday and have my first real-life glimpse of Sonic. Didn't get a chance to play it yet but I will be giving it a shot at first opportunity.

(Oh, and thanks for lending me your hex driver!)

Quoted from McSquid:

there is NO proper substitute for a game than having a TRUE subject matter super-fan at the helm.

Oh yeah, you can tell when a game is designed by someone who loves the material, versus someone just "doing their job" designing to a given theme. From what little I had the chance to experience on this game, it's pretty clear you knew every little franchise detail and how to work it into a pinball element. I've barely even followed the actual Sonic series and even I can tell how much effort was put into this design.
