Great idea. I already happen to have a full sample pack of such holographic vinyl. Hmm.

Otherwise, this arrived last night to keep Black Knight company in the "crap, I ran out of space for pins room" :p

I had merely been hoping there would be an option of a translite with stronger colors...this is better.

I like the color match as well, but I ended up going with all blue (on a diagonal) to better match the walls (I may go with blue star posts/flipper rubbers as well). I'm in the midst of replacing the plastics (hence the mismatch/missing pieces).

Yes I have. Lots of changes on my machine since that photo now and the sides do look pretty shabby. I was also wondering if mirror blades work on SoF and if anyone has done them.

Is your game missing the gate that prevents the balls from going backward into the multi-lock (or getting stuck/functioning improperly)? I had seen someone post this before I got my own game and thought it was an odd flaw, but on mine what you're describing isn't possible. This gate is visible without removing the glass.

Of course

Thank you. This is where I'm at with my SoF, but I do have some other changes to make (been working on a mod), and I still need to deal with the cloudy sides of the inner cab one of these days. I recently changed a lot of the rubbers to light blue--perhaps most noticeable at the Magic Tunnel as it brings the appearance of the arch down to the playfield. While the ramps were off I also added the orange decal and made it larger than the factory decal so that it would go beneath the ramp flap, also better blending with the orange steps on the playfield. In general I felt the blue rubbers and blue drop targets better created the "wall" look (some blue star posts as well).

Yep, Titan is my go-to for such items

Looks like the bottom left connector is pushed on the opposite way. However, it also looks like the wrong connector may be on there at the bottom left. Is that connector swapped with the one that attaches at the drop assembly? Should be a similar red/brown wire set that connects there I believe.

The connector at the right on the drop assembly (red/brown) should be at the bottom left connector spot from the original photo, and I expect the one on there now (with 2 wires) is the one that should be on the drop assembly (toothed clip side should be facing the clip edge). Swap those around and you may be good to go.

Otherwise, on the missing gate, the photo shows the left side hole, but directly across from there should be a bracket/tab that has 2 screws attaching it to the playfield (that would have the other hole at the same height). I can't tell in that photo angle if that bracket is there, but if that's missing, then I understand your confusion.

After many many (nearly 10 hour each) test prints/CAD revisions and paint variations over the last months, I've finally gotten a result I'm pretty happy with (I do have one more revision already with slightly better detail). While not yet shown here, this mod has provision for a full size LED that will light the tunnel when the shot is ready (in the event there is interest from others in purchasing this mod, I will also offer a non-LED version). While I like the clear ramps, I felt like the Magic Tunnel lost some of its "magic" when I could see right through to it, so this was my solution, which also adds a fair amount of depth and does away with what is in my opinion an awkward, uneventful drop-off at that point. I have a set of black ramps here as well, and I believe the mod blends even better with the black ramps.

This was designed to match the appearance of the walls on the playfield and plastics. The "L" on the keystone is of course for LIONMAN! :p

While I started on this mod with the intention of it only being for my own machine, I would be willing to make others if there is interest. If so, I would make an official sales post for it. Would love to know what you think

Actually, it hardly occurred to me that the 3d depth wasn't fluid with the plastics --I suppose when I play a pixelated game, I see a world beyond what is on the screen, and when I look at the plastics on Swords of Fury, I more or less envision 3d stones (helped by the 3d appearance of the playfield art, and perhaps my being on the spectrum has an affect as well ).

I'm glad there is interest I'll plan to get something up by tonight with more detail. I expect to show video of the LED working, photos while sitting on a black ramp (as most people likely have those), and will take some uninstalled photos as well (the underside has details such as a recess for the rivets and a brace).

Videos will be posted tonight I expect. For now, here are a few uninstalled photos and one with the loose, black ramp. The face on the final version print (not shown here) has a bit better/sharper detail due to a better support setting (currently unpainted). For an LED version, I'm also hoping to find a way to insulate the clips to reduce risk of a short (such clips aren't the most ideal way to install such a mod, especially without clear ramps [may need a mirror underneath with black ramps], but it's the easiest [removing the ramps to solder direct with a removable connector in the middle would be more ideal, but unreasonable to most I assume]).

As noted, I would offer a non-LED version if there is interest.

This is designed for the main piece to be installed using the factory screw, while the smaller strip uses mounting tape (thus holding the tunnel portion in place).

...and here's a couple clips showing the appearance of the LED, ball movement through the tunnel, etc. A green LED is installed, but of course nearly any color could be used.

This is a test with the lights on with no actual gameplay:

This one is a small segment in the dark that shows the integration with a few of the light shows (the lights are on at the last moment) :

I'm aware I have an insert row out on my machine that needs to be addressed

I've now created a non-LED version as well that has been on the printer today. Assuming that turns out well, I'll be painting that tomorrow and making a listing tomorrow night for both versions (I created a Pinside Shop earlier today, and if this garners interest, I have some ideas for other games I'd like to design as well ).

Unfortunately it seems there will be a delay in getting this going as my 3D Printer decided to die on me last night/this morning (seems something is wrong in the power supply case). It began as prints stopping mid-print (printer reset), now nothing will even start and there is that ever familiar electronic burning smell...great timing (had been using this unit trouble free for about a year [i3 MK2]).

Looking into getting something new that will hopefully be here at the start of the week [EDIT: I have an order placed for another printer and will update Tuesday] . Hate to sound like Stern... but "stay tuned."

Otherwise, my thought on pricing was going to be $89 shipped (non-LED) and $99 shipped (LED)--both being primed, hand-painted, and shot with multiple coats of clear (decal is installed after paint and cleared over as well). Each set takes multiple hours to paint. If someone is up to painting one themselves at their own risk, I could offer $39 shipped for unpainted non-LED (cleaned/dremeled with mounting tape and loose decal included). That's as cheap as I could do these for, and given the amount of time and labor involved, I could likely only make one of these a day at maximum and would be willing to do so if the demand is there.

I assumed wrong :/

EDIT #2: Halfway through a new print after doing surgery on the printer last night (soldering the power wires directly to the melzi board and moving the heat-bed positive wire directly to the power supply). Hopefully that fixed the issue. EDIT #3: So far so good.

Issues have been resolved, and I've made a listing for those that would like one of these for themselves:

This before/after shot seems to better illustrate what I was seeing with that statement:

Thank you While this particular mod was primarily made to suit my own interest, I'm glad to see others can appreciate my vision for it.

For those that were inquiring about the LED version, I have updated the listing and am now utilizing Comet's Matrix solution to make this an easy install for those with black ramps:

I too have the backglass and agree 100%. Once I got my SoF and set it up near Black Knight, the mirrored BK backglass just put the SoF translite to shame (wish granted when the backglass was announced). I definitely prefer the difference in the art, though the only nitpick I could have is the lack of runes on the sword, but I know I'll be the only one to notice :p (at this house at least).

I'm not sure I've seen a Swords translite that doesn't look dull, but the CPR backglass replacement looks very nice.

When I got my SoF, I had a display out, but discovered broken pins on the back--soldering those brought it back to life. Of course that may not be the same issue with yours.

I went with light blue for rubber color (matches the walls). Titan brand.

A mix of warm white, cool white, ice blue, with a couple red/yellow at the upper right (slings are warm white at the tops and ice blue at the bottoms [comet LEDs]).

Adds...character

I had a request for these .stl files, so I uploaded them to Thingiverse (just made an account, so there may be a 24 hour hold).

I won't generally add my discontinued mods there, but didn't mind putting this one up. Mods like the RZ ball stop I offer for free will be uploaded there as well.
