Big Bang Pin - 46/30/15.6 LED Widebody (custom artwork, bezel less, deep playfield)

[jpcurreri]

Chris, how do you like the deep playfield compared with your old pin? Is there much glare from the lights?

[chriz99]

I love the "illusion of more depth" with the lowered playfield. due to the more punchy LED LCD screen (better contrast and black levels, punchy colors) there is not much glare from the lights. The look and feel is just awesome.

furthermore you can adjust the intensity/brightness of the RGB LED flasher very easily to your desired level.

Gonna be sweet

[chriz99]

thanks for your kind words

some progress...

[chriz99]

enough wiring and soldering for 2011

now I have to program some nice attract modes. There are some cool fading effects possible.

[mameman]

looking good, i assume you can dial it back a little to reduce the spot effect? that said once its up ontop of the cab, it will look different also.

[chriz99]

yes, you can adjust the intensity in 256 steps... played a bit with the software

That looks really cool, Chris. Definitely a one of a kind feature worth bragging about!

[mameman]

sweet, anyway of putting a clear led into the bottom side/edge of the plexi so you can make the entire thing glow around the edges?

[chriz99]

thanks gents,

played with the intensity and focus... less spots:

@greg: I think 54 LEDs are enough illumniation

[mameman]

hey it may only take 1 in the side of the pexi to illuminate through the entire substrate so you get a glow on the edge.. just a thought

[chriz99]

LOL, checked the edges, they glow already

Well, of all the things I never expected to see you write Chris.

Looks awseome mate.

One thing a guy suggested to me for another project was to put an additional bit of plastic between the leds and the front as a diffuser. Go over it with a heavy grit bit of sand paper to score it up a bit so that the light is spread through the plastic. Worked a treat.

cool sorted then

Chriz never ceases to amaze! Very cool!

Chris,

Seriously I can't wait to see videos of your cab running and playing, and at the right angle please

Do you have a good address where to buy a knocker, and a plunger (with all his components) in Germany?

[chriz99]

hey arngrim, here you'll find a list with nearly all pinball shops (german, europe, usa, worldwide)

[arngrim]

Wow I didn t know that post thanks

Ok I can find some plungers, what about the mechanism that controls the pusH of the plunger?

Do you have a hint for this? Like a ready to use part, except the nanotech, have heard not good review about it

[chriz99]

afaik there are some plunger projects here at the forum, like the opto plunger switch dazz made. simply start a forum search.

[gbeef]

OMG that is awesome.

Ok now i have to to hookup something like this to mine

[chriz99]

thanks gbeef, I am glad you like it! your idea inspired me

experimented with some UV spotlights for bart illumination. the effect on the eyes is amazing... scared stiff... ahh bart

with UV LEDs

[chriz99]

got the topper prints on self adhesive vinyl today. they are protected with glossy laminat.
