    Beard made a special tool to make a perfect circle,we wanted to cnc the playfield but it just ain’t our style,we are doing this manually,amigo style.

    Another job i did alone this week was the mansion lift...
    Sadly it turned out my new setup works worse than the old one,this design is off the table now...
    It is simply not the way to do this,it is what it is amigos?!

    hey guys, nice to see you back and healthy

    those lab lifts are popular in K40 laser upgrades

    #10412 4 years ago

    Oh really? Laser upgrades...
    How about a laser in crazy mansion!

    Yeah we still healthy man,you can’t run from this shit man so we’ll see...

    #10413 4 years ago

    Look at our cool new lift?!!

    #10414 4 years ago

    So now that we are serious on swapping the playfield(i mean the machine works,code is running,heads talk etc...)we are gonna strip the playfield to take measurements

    image (resized).jpgimage (resized).jpg
    #10415 4 years ago

    We vacuum the space under the pin so we can lay down the stuff in the same way it’s mounted without kicking stuff through the gameroom..

    this will be very cool

    this made me laugh when you couldn't see things properly - I reckon you should have a game comp later tonight for a laugh

    also a mech engineering tip for next time.
    - if you put 2 bolts in each block through the bar it would of reduced the crabbing effect, then lift from the centre of the bar it would of lifted alot better but the lift platform will be alot better as well

    #10427 4 years ago

    Aaah man! The new cnc drill bit sucks!

    I was about too drill second bolt holes but the crabbing effect is obviously way too big?
    So it quickly became appearant that this lift was shit too

    All the best Amigos

    Have a look at this video great tips for making precise cutouts real easy.

    Quoted from pinballrockstar:

    So it quickly became appearant that this lift was shit too

    The vertical posts are parallel and the bearing is very low friction, so the idea is to have the pin into the bearing block not locked to the horizontal bar for rotation, that way it will self align when you lift from the centre of the horizontal bar.

    Lol it is a strange time, certain items the stores are just wiped out of but there is plenty of food overall. Never have I had to wait in a line for the grocery store to open in order to get the things we need. Stay healthy!

    Pretty cool. Also, CONGRATS on getting the Monte Carlo into the paint booth - you've put in a lot of work to get it this far. I think the blue is a good choice.

    Thanks brother,that was a big relief to see it roll onto the trailer...i am familiar with the pain and frustration of car builds...did a 1970 mustang,Chevy Monza V8 and a bunch of european less known classic cars.
    They all ended up being sold because money was always thin back then.
    This Monte Carlo will be my ride and i am gonna drive it till the wheels fall off.
    I hope to cruise it this summer!
    This is a picture i found on the interweb,i want the monte to look like this(except this is a 1978 front)
