Just received and installed the lightedpinballmods Tiger and it is an amazingly well made, finely detailed and good looking piece.

It is a heavy duty, thick, one piece figure that the maker says was 3d printed.

The material is very heavy and translucent and looks like molded amber.

installation was fairly straight forward and intuitive as I didnt need to look up the installation instructions online.

My model was the lit tiger and the leds along with the wireing are within.

I did twist the wire harness (Consisting of just 2 wires, one red, one black with a connector termination ) together to make one solid wire harness.

Mounting was straight forward and I have the Pinball Pro spinning tigersaw blade and lighted mirror mod installed as well and it fit just fine with only a little adjustments.

Once mounted the spinning blade did come close to the tigers jaw but did not touch. However I wanted to widen the gap just to make sure they would never meet so I installed a self stick vinyl bumper between the motor mount and the tiger mount assembly plate. that widened the blade to jaw gap for insurance.

Unlit the piece looks really amazing and is really good as is. Once lit it has a new dimension and is very striking, however the really nice detailed colors of the unlit tiger become washed out

Even unlit the GI light illuminates the model with a wonderful subtle glow as it is translucent.

This is a must have Mod for a TOM its really well made is very classy looking and it really brings out the theme of the playfield.

When you compare the really cheaply made mods that are sold out there this is like a Rolls Royce of decorative mods on a fire sale.

Here are pics and let me know your thoughts lit or unlit.

First order of business was to polish out the tiger mounting bracket.

Note the gap from blade to jaw, THis was widened with the use of a vinyl button if you look close you can see how it holds the motor assembly tight to the rear of the tiger mounting bracket

Thank you for the very kind words and in detail review! If you don't mind us making a small correction to the public, these are not 3D printed but are hand cast/molded out of high impact crystal clear resin. It's the handcrafting element that makes these mods a step above, and THANK YOU for recognizing our commitment to quality, and customer satisfaction.

You can choose between the solid color (no see-thru) or the Non-Opaque versions.

Most people who see this mod in person will choose the Non-Opaque version, this one is highly recommended, and they are the same price.
