Any idea on cost yet? The beauty of John's original was the affordability.

It's coincidence that this SC part crossed my mind today in reviewing the 3D printer evolution of a cover for the on/off switch from Gottlieb EM games that just went on in the EM forum. It dawned on me that doing the SC coil cover in 3D printing would be a perfect application.

Someone was looking for the Gottlieb on/off switch cover, a simple plastic part similar in complexity to the SC coil cover. The thread started yesterday morning. Today the 3D model has already been created and the part is available immediately for purchase for $22 shipped, and in most any color you want.

Here is the link.

Granted, the party that created the 3D model had an example of the part from one of his games to prepare the model from. For this application he would need either one of the previous coil covers or a scale drawing of one.

Anyone have an example of John's original that could be used for the 3D model?

Nice. Now we just have to come up with some black hardware to match.

Quoted from lllvjr:

The existing screws are so far back when the play field is tucked in u can't even see them. But a black sharpe would be a simple solution

That's what I was thinking. Or better yet, a black paint pen.

Large post office order going out tomorrow... Can't wait to see what the lines look like lol.

Thank you for fitting it in.

If you prep them all at home on USPS.com with labels it won't matter - you just drop them in the bin. If you are going to wait in line you will be that guy....

Good luck.
