Hi all, I have looked through this thread and not seen any references to this issue but maybe missed it. I have now purchased two sets of reproduction top hat trick characters. One set from Marco and one from a ThePinWitch, I know the PinWitch set is made by Pedretti. Both sets where made with much thicker plastic than the factory ones and now will not fit in the factory black plastic channel guides. You can force them into the guides but then they are stuck so tightly by the sides of the guides that they cant move. Have other people had this issue? I actually had one broken guide and ordered a replacement form Marco and they do not fit in the replacement channel either. Below is a picture of the thickness difference. Has anyone solved this problem before?

Quoted from bakerhillpins:

I mentioned it previously in this thread and I recall reading it elsewhere. I don't recall it being prominently discussed though. I printed out new guides (2 were missing on the game I shopped out) and have the files if you need them. Apparently (a few posts up) a member here makes a set for like $40 (don't quote me on that). What I recall is they upped the thickness because the thinner stuff was prone to breakage.

Thanks for the response. According to my $9 Harbor Freight caliper the factory Lion is 1.5mm or like 1/16 thick. The reproduction ones are 2mm or about 5/64ths. Does your design take into consideration the 2mm size? If so it would be amazing if you would share the files with me. Its been while since I printed anything but this would be a great excuse to do so again. Thank you bakerhillpins
