Quoted from king_pin:

Hi everyone! I meant to post this a while ago when I designed it but I'm just getting around to doing it now. I've just created my Thingiverse account now and I've uploaded these two models. It will be online in 24 hours and I'll post the links to the Thingiverse pages as soon as they are live. I designed 3D replacement parts for the Mechagodzilla mech on the Premium version of GZ. These two parts replace the flat plastics that are part of the Mechagodzilla mechanism. I hope you guys enjoy it. Here are a few pictures to show you what it looks like. I'll be back tomorrow with the links to the Thingiverse pages. I sold my GZ with this mod installed. The new owner enjoys it. I wish I had the airbrush skills to paint it but I never got around to trying. A nice metalic silver with a bit of black speckling with the Mechagodzilla logo in red. Would have been beautiful. Cheers everyone. [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

I love it, thank you for the hard work. looks awesome.
Will definitely print.

Just need to find the right filament to match the colour and it will look even more awesome, have you tried different ones?

Thanks again!

I only ever tried in orange while prototyping and then I did it grey. My plan was to prime and paint it. At one point I had all of the supplies in my Amazon cart to buy the airbrush and supplies but didn't end up pulling the trigger lol I'd love to see it in other filaments and what people can do it with so def share your pics if you print it! Thanks for the kind words. I hope it works out for you.

#18653 1 year ago

Prime and paint is the way to go over colored plastic, you'll get a much better looking end product. Looking forward to trying it out!

New GC for me. Had KotM qualified with three balls left, so I tried to chase the remaining secret combos I needed to make Monster Island Madness a possibility. Didn't succeed there, so went to start KotM on second-to-last ball.

Skill shot went to magna grab which held it long enough to use up ball save and then dropped it down the left outlane. I didn't know this could happen on the plunge and don't think I've ever seen it before.

Brick drain last ball trying to start KotM. Game over.

It feels like every big game ends with so much pain (though dying on a basic catch with only two left ramps and the scoop in KotM to start Monster Island Madness was worse).

Stern got those bubble levels from old CrackerJack boxes. Don’t trust them.

It should activate the ball save for a short time when you hit it.

#18669 1 year ago
Quoted from Tomass:

There is a limit on how many ball saves you get. Default is 2. Maybe I can fix that in the feature adjustment menu. Is there a list of feature adjustments somewhere online? They aren't in the owners manual.

Yeah there is a setting in there I think the max is 3 ball saves however.

No. They are all pretty self explanatory though.

Have you leveled the game from in front of the building? That helped on mine.

Jeez. Monster score. About your inglorious endings… I think GZ games are so long when you’re playing at this level that you get fatigued and make mistakes. I’ve actually had to take breaks. I love Gz but sometimes the depth and length are a bit much.

Agree about the length. However, in my experience, when I take a break (even for only a minute or two between balls to grab a drink) the next ball will almost always be short and bad. I think there's a lot to be said for not getting out of the zone.

I completely agree. If I take 5 seconds off to take a sip off a beer or drink and I'm ok. But if I take any kind of a break out side a min or 2, I know where the rest of a great game is going, south

I'm on the list for the February run!

What are my inside art blade options?

I tried searching the thread. I really did.

Why would you do anything but more Zombie Yeti? (official Stern blades)

Quoted from jackd104:

That's probably the direction I'll go...but I like to survey my options!

For example, I ended up getting TILT GRAPHICS ones for Jurassic Park because I felt like they created more of the jungle vibe that I wanted. Do you know where you are?   (resized).pngDo you know where you are? (resized).png

#18679 1 year ago

I like those JP blades. If I ever get a JP I'd probably go with those too.

#18680 1 year ago

Issue with my Godzilla. Trying to go to adjustments menu and change the speech and music settings. When I hit the forward or back button it will not go through each option but in certain spots it will skip a bunch of options (see video). No problems going left or right when cycling through the menu. Thanks for any help.

#18681 1 year ago

What happens when you use the flipper buttons and start button to navigate instead? Make sure and pull out the interlock switch.

Yeah, the coin door buttons blow. Use the flippers and start button instead.

Stern buttons are notorious for not working properly, try swapping with another game

Does the same thing. I even pulled my Batman 66’s service button assembly and same thing also.

Yea this is true. I tried it.
It is like trying to get back in the field but instead of warm and stretched out it feels like u just woke up from a short bad nap. Trying to figure out your schedule for the rest of the day lol

Try uploading to Thangs.com. Much easier to get going and honestly a better site overall.

I like printables.com, seems to be a good spot. Never tried thangs but will check it out.
Also thingiverse works bad on Safari, just fyi for apple users.

Full disclosure, I work for Thangs.com and we are working very hard to make it the best 3D model repo in the world. It not only hosts any files you upload, but also gives search results to models across other sites on the web.

I went with mirror blades (also have em on my JP) as I like how it brightens up the playfield quite a bit as I play in a dark basement most of the time with lights out. I also just like how clean it looks.

Hello everyone,

Here I am owner of a Godzilla Pro since yesterday! For the moment it is only happiness!
Difficult at first when you only know System 11 but the whole family loves it!

On the other hand, I will quickly have to find a solution for this far too noisy supply fan!!

Looking forward to reading you.

Stephane.

Ok thanks for the information, I had indeed also found this kit. I am looking for a solution that allows me to keep my warranty at first.
