    I would most likely be interested in a white wood starter Playfield and templates/jigs - preferably router jigs for most/all standard inserts.

    I've got a lot of parts already for a build, got the basics designed in Virtual Pinball, have a a p3-roc and most boards I'd need, etc, but I've stalled out on taking the next step.

    I've been debating learning CAD and getting a Bob's CNC setup capable of cutting a playfield and convert my VP table into something usable to do the playfield - but that has a number of challenges and $$ outlay too. My initial plan had been to do it manually and make my own router jigs for inserts - a starter kit in that direction seems ideal...

    PFs look great - I'll purchase a playfield blank shortly - will you be providing the lower third template file after purchase of a PF blank? You mentioned .eps, do you have it in a format compatible with Fusion 360 by chance? Any discount with shipping to order two at a time?

    I was thinking to work out some of the shots and insert placement manually on the first PF blank and ideally eventually either get the complete playfield cut either through you or another option - I know the cut time would be greatly increased for the complete playfield, not sure if you were planning to offer that eventually or not...

    I guess I should just start with one and see how it goes. I ordered and sent a PM to confirm address. Thanks!

    I think I can probably find a way to convert or import the 2d drawing and/or trace it into F360. I'll PM over my email address if you might be able to send me the base .eps file. I guess I'm figuring if I use a different file for the lower 3rd I may end up with some inaccuracies/differences, but perhaps that better than the conversion/import unknown method...

    Just wanted to say I received my lower third PF blank a few days ago, and it looks great. I just need to get some power supplies and my computer situation squared away to get started. Thanks Octomodz!

    Definitely interested to see how the cab kit works out and pricing details too. That's definitely another niche that no one has really filled yet, beyond some of the virtual pin cabs that aren't Stern-style I don't think.
