If you offer sets with both 3 purple and uniform colors, I'd probably buy that set to have options; otherwise I'm getting purple!

#52 6 years ago
Quoted from knockerlover:

going for the uniform colors, like on the stern star trek kits you do?

Exactly.
The blue cap may be a darker blue. I got some of that material as I thought it might look closer to the screen; but now that I think about it... I may have been remembering DS9 uniform colors which were more teal.

I couldn't wait until this weekend to install these sweet ash undercaps.

Due to popular request; here is a purple undercap with purple BriteCaps EVO:

Here's Engineering yellow under the beta ramp:

Using natural white 5LED SMT comet led since I don't have a better LED at the moment.

Here's the Uniform colored undercaps:
Red - Command, Blue - Science, Yellow - EngineeringRed - Command, Blue - Science, Yellow - Engineering
Unform ColorUnform Color

I like the purple and the red; but really love the extra color the Uniform Undercaps bring to the pop area. In my setup; I modified my Red Command EVO to use Purple LEDs when shining on the Playfield; and left the natural white "above" the Advanced Mission plastic.
I ran out of Purple LEDs so wasn't able to modify the LEDs on the Blue EVO.

I need to figure out a warm white LED option for the cutdown cap.

The EVO-compatible Undercap worked very well; all though I found out that Red has a different layout that Blue or Purple... so I'm going to have to make an invisible revision to the Undercaps pictured here.

For me; I'm staying Uniformed colors. I know others won't like that color option; so I'll have do a survey or something to figure out what color options to offer. I will that because I have to cut these caps at Techshop's laser... I *WILL NOT* be offering every color option under the sun. That laser is 40minutes away... and I have a day job; so can't be making numerious trips to customize everyone's order.

At most I'm thinking:
Uniform Colors
All Red
All Purple
I don't see the value of a Clear Undercap at this time - if you feel differently; please provide some reasons why it's a good idea.

#54 6 years ago

The uniform colored caps with the purple LEDs on the PF looks awesome!

I assume you will not be offering customized BrightCaps with white top and purple bottom. Can you post a link to the purple SMD LEDs or a part number that we can use to modify our BrightCaps?

#55 6 years ago

I love the purple and will be ordering a set of 3 as soon as I am able.

#56 6 years ago

I like the uniform colors and will order a set when you're ready.

Great job as always

#57 6 years ago

I still want purple, but I'll buy the uniform colors too if you give me the option.

Quoted from Schwaggs:

No, at this time - I don't see myself stocking any BrightCaps; much less offering modified EVO pcbs.

The LEDs I used are here:
http://www.kingbrightusa.com/product.asp?catalog_name=LED&product_id=AA3528VRVFS/A

I'll look into maybe offering the Purple LEDs as an optional part of the kit; if there is interest. Let me know.
If there a LOT of interest; I can add "modification" instructions as an appendix to the install instructions.

I have provided a Google Survey to collect preferences as to which Undercap and LED options to offer as part of our kits:
https://goo.gl/forms/QhWqKS9AF6mxuYuq2

Please fill free to submit your opinion. I will use the data collected to build inventory of the Undercap colors and to ensure I have enough LEDs to offer with the kit. This isn't a "pre-order"; more of an "i am interested" list. If you provide me with your email address; I'll offer a coupon for this product as a "thank you" and would only be valid for a week or two after product launch.
I'll send that coupon to the email account provided once the store page is available.

Please let me know if you have any issues accessing the survey.

#60 6 years ago

Zitt You are the man! I always appreciate seeing someone taking a logical and smart approach to offering a new product. Survey completed. Looking forward to adding these to my STTNG!

#61 6 years ago

Thanks. Im working a behind the scenes details... So this survey will help get the best combinations.

I've been working on the Undercaps for these popcaps. These Undercaps are more complicated than the Stern_Star_Trek PopCaps because they require both an Laser Cut step and a 6minute CNC step to put the LED channel in the Undercap. The 6minute step machines all 3 caps in a set.

I've completed about 15 or so "sets" of the RBY uniform colored Undercaps. Tomorrow, I hope to laser cut another 19 sets of yellow "cut caps" so I can finish machining enough sets to put the product for sale.

I still need to laser cut and machine All red and All Purple Undercaps; so that will take another couple of days.

I'm going to order another Set of Evo LEDs so I can document the "rework" and document the modification process for the instructions. Then I'll be working to Install a set on another local STNG to document the entire installation process.

I hope to have the instructions ready next week so I can start selling these.

I already have 2 purple evo's in my bumper area. Can I reuse and just get the caps? Also would just need a single one with evo for under the ramp.

Super exclusive ad from the Pinside Marketplace!

Quoted from Da_Topper:

I won't be selling EVO LEDs.
Only standard LEDs or the 11SMD variety.
If you want EVO you will have to order from a different vendor as they are too expensive for me to carry.

#65 6 years ago

Took some pictures from the installation instructions... thought these were pretty cool:

These Williams Star Trek: The Next Generation Popcaps are now in stock and available for immediate sale at:
http://pinball-mods.com/oscom/game-specific-products-star-trek-the-next-generation-star-trekthe-next-generation-popcaps-p-24.html

Now thru 9/7/2017; I’ll be running a special on these popcaps for 10% off with a 10% match for these PopCaps to the American Red Cross for Hurricane_Harvey relief. This means you get the caps for $76.06 and I’ll also donate >$8.45/set ordered to the RedCross for each set sold at the end of this sale. While supplies last.

My Pre-Order customers already eliminated my (and Comet's) stock of All purple 11-SMD LEDs. I'm currently hoping to source some from Cointaker but do not expect to have stock until late next week best case.

#69 6 years ago

Bumping for Harvey donations which expire on the 7th.

#70 6 years ago

These look awesome, I can highly recommend Zitt products, his Stern Star Trek caps are awesome, buy with confidence people!

#72 6 years ago

I am extending the Harvey matching thru this weekend due to #Irma... I hope we don't have another catastrophic event in Florida... but reports are possible of a Cat5 landfall in SoFL. While Irma isn't expect to stall over of FL for several days like Harvey did... I do suspect we are going to have problems in FL.

#73 6 years ago

You're a good man Zitt, and this mod is awesome looking and I haven't even installed it in my STTNG yet!!
