Hi guys. Its not easy to get cliffys in Denmark, i isually order from bestofpinball and they had sold out of switch cliffy protector for over a year now.

Made a 3d design print. And now on 0,8mm metal. And one layer of paint.

From ramp, ball drops perfect, also when playing i does work perfect. BUT then I manually put the ball on top of the protector, in stayen on there.
Im thinking that maby the ceramic ball will get stock when playing, because of the lesser waight.

Does anyone know how many mm cliffy protectors are?

Anyone have an idea for a better/more smart design, please share it with me.

Im thinking i can make duplicates if anyone got some wear on there tz also.

As you can se it lifts on the top right side, witch means, i have to attach it under the slingshot starpotrs also, SO the big question is, will it change/ruin gameplay if i lifted left slingshot starposts 0,8mm?

Would be great, but it adds alot to the initial cost, toll/vatt/shipping, when its out of europe.

Do you know of ANY store in europe that has your universal switch lane protector on stock?

Thanks for all your mails guys.
This is just a prototype, it does not cost me alot to make.
I didn’t produce these to sell to other TZ owners, but if I finish this and like the finished results my self, then yes i can send them to you guys. As of right now, please wait with more mails/questions

But help/ideas are welcome

I have the Original Mac daddy Cliffy’s and to me it would be worth the wait vs trying to custom make one? As for shipping, it’s only a flat thin shim. I use the post office $3 world stamp. Drop in envelope and done no complication. I have shipped many thin parts that way quickly with no issue. Just a thought.

PinWitch in Germany but she does sell my stuff out quickly. I sometimes feel I'm working only for Karin
As of this writing first class bubble pack shipping to europe costs about $6
