<\/a>Version 3.1 of the TA playfield being cut<\/p><\/div>\n
After this playfield was cut and I verified all was well with the inserts, I started populating them staring with the bonus multiplier triangles. \u00a0The glue that I used to secure these inserts is a clear 5 minute 2-part epoxy. \u00a0These inserts are in for life!<\/p>\n

Below is a picture I took after I got ALL the inserts in place and hand sanded the playfield flat. \u00a0It was much more physical labor than anticipated…<\/p>\n

Well\u00a0after that, you can probably guess that I had to do an entire playfield swap from the v2 playfield that was sitting in my cabinet. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Here is a look at the playfield as it sat right after the main assembly swap!<\/p>\n

For the GI, I ended up using light pipes that I will put VERY bright LEDs under. \u00a0My initial testing has shown that they spread the light very evenly. \u00a0These are similar to how TBL will be handling the GI in tight places.<\/p>\n

I ended up designing a small RGB board that fits in the bottom of my pop bumper assembly. \u00a0These LEDs are bright as hell. \u00a0Check out the image below to see how it fits!<\/p>\n

So here is the most important part to any playfield, the trough. \u00a0This is the new Pinball Life lower and upper trough. \u00a0I configured it for 4 balls. \u00a0This trough will be released by PBL very soon.<\/p>\n

Next on the agenda was getting some of the custom circuit boards designed and sent off for manufacturing. \u00a0Below are some screenshots of the boards prior to being sent off.<\/p>\n
