    Does anyone know the weight of the Jolly Park pin (pounds or kilos)?

    Perfect, thanks!

    Thanks jaytrem for posting. As mentioned, I'm able to 3D print replacement targets for Spinball and any other title that utilizes the same drop target design.

    I've implemented a couple of features in my design that should allow these targets to stand up to more punishment than the originals and possibly even other reproductions.

    1 - I added a foot to the target at the very bottom below the slot. This is by far the weakest point on the target and most common spot for failure. Adding the toe ads no measurable weight, but significantly strengthens the spot. In my rendering, you can see my modification in the lower target verses the upper one. In my initial tests without the foot, I could easily break the part at that spot just by holding it in both hands and putting pressure on the center. With the foot, I was unable to break it even when using significant pressure.

    2 - I use a high quality PETG filament which offers a stiff and durable target, but with extremely high flexing capability (see image below). This will allow the targets to take a beating over time and still keep their shape without any structural weakness or damage occuring.

    Currently, I can produce the targets in black or UV reactive orange. I'm setting the minimum order at 4 targets for $25 (includes US shipping), and you can add additional targets to the order for $5 each (I will ship outside of US on a per quote basis). I also have the ability to create professional quality target decals (sorry, but no metallics), and I'm happy to quote a custom designed set to go with your target order depending upon your specific needs.

    Please PM me if interested.
