I have almost an identical parts list for the whitewood I'm designing. Its great to see that it is possible Great work! The only difference really is I'm going to try using MissionPinball's framework with their new FadeCandy support for the RGBs.

What motor did you end up going with for the 3 motorized drop targets? All the versions I've seen are 24vAC rather than DC. I was looking at the Mousing around motor assembly (same as in ATM and Spiderman/etc). I found this assembly: http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/B-13095

Quoted from Linolium:

Wood molds + your oven + a shop vac. Check out youtube for examples of home-done vac-forming. The longer the ramp the more difficult it becomes because of oven size.

Does it mention if your oven toxic afterwards or can you still use it for food? I guess it would probably clear out after a cleaning cycle.

Answered my own question. Search "XRobots - How to build a vacuum forming machine including my easy heating solution" on YouTube. He makes a heater out of a space heater and a wooden box with foil. Takes 3 minutes to heat high impact plastic. Shows how to build all the parts of the process. Nice! Looks very doable and not too expensive as long as your ramp isn't a full 45" long

Thanks for the tips!
