Rotating UFO for Revenge From MARS duo color MOD

Donnerstag, März 24th, 2011

Today I got the new plastics I created to make the 8 holes of the RfM Ufo light up in red.

Here you can see all the plastics:

I was using a new green Flasher CAP and cut some plastic at the outer site.

To see the red light only at the 8 holes I have to cover the innersite of the UFO with black adhesive

Here you see the lighttransmitter pins connected with the help of some glue

here you can see how it looks with the sticks

The Motorpart:

Here I have to do the 4 LEDS for the flasher replacement up at the gear. Now with the help of the plastic its easier to solder

Here you can see the 4 red Leds

Here you can see it into the RfM

Rotating UFO for Attack From Mars Proof of Concept

Dienstag, März 15th, 2011

My little motor needs a redesign for Attack from Mars, because the flasher only on for a short time.

The ufo didn’t turn in this short time.

The Bulb is powering the 4 Leds around the motor as flasher replacement and added 2 more wires with alligatorconnectors to power up the motor. The two wires can connected to any insert lamp under the playfield or GI if you want to turn it all the time…

Look here into my little video and there is in real a attack from Mars and the answer which one is better is ansered thanks to the attack of my little UFO in medieval time…

I will try the motor in a real AFM in around 2 weeks thanks to www.flippermuseum.eu.

Donnerstag, März 10th, 2011

Today I do a quick try to add a red color to the outer 8 leds of the saucer.

Its only a work in progress try and it looks not good.

In the next step I will make a plastic and use some lighttransmitting plastic to transport the light to the 8 points of the saucer…

Rotating Ufo for RfM and Attack from Mars

Mittwoch, März 2nd, 2011

After my LED work its time to do some moving stuff

Here I got the idea to make the flashing Ufos rotate…

I found a litte motor and put some Leds around it to make it work.

It will be easy to do in the final product. You only have to remove the original bulb and replace it with the gearmotor with Leds around it.

Here you see the gear plastic it will fit into the flasher cab and make it rotate with the help of the motor

First try for the motor

some resistor to make the speed ok

some leds to make the flasher work again

motor into the ufo flasher cab

here you got a first look of rotating…

ingame:

Video:

today I got the right sockets for the motors…

remove the original lamp

insert the motorset

insert the plastic gear ring into the flashercap

Magic Trunk Candlelight Replacement for Theatre of Magic Pinball

Freitag, Februar 18th, 2011

I done a litte mod to a Theatre of Magic Pinball. The original red Lamp in the Magic Trunk doesn’t look well and I found a solution. I tried the head of a LED candlelight and used a highpower 5mm LED and put it together in a socket for a Lamp

reducing the size of the led and the candlelight cover

As there is a 6V power Lamp I need here a resistor of each 100Ohm (total 200Ohm)

some hot glue

Here you can see the final product

placed in the magic trunk

Rebirth of the Dragon „Light him up“

Donnerstag, Februar 17th, 2011

First I take the prepared doubleheaded Dragon look here

http://wolfsoft.de/wordpress/?p=1112

After this I am using 5 Leds to make up the eyes to live and one mouth give us fire for a breath…

I used a 2,5mm drill to make the holes through the eyes and with the help of some inelastic copper wire it was easier to get the flexible copper wires through the holes.

3mm power leds in yellow for the eyes

5mm power led in red for the mouth

As the necks are bended I need to make more holes to get from the head to the chest

If you look from the normal pinball view to the Dragon you will not see the wires

I have to position the tail like this, so the ball will „ride“ over the ramp without trouble

Some pics in the pinball

The left wing was a little to high and there was a problem with the glass but no problem with the help of a heat-gun. So the wing is fitting under the playfield.

First Lightup

complete view

Today I got a transparent Plexi for the mouth.
Its a first beta try, have some other idea in mind and I will show it later…

Video:

Today I got the 3D plastic. It is scratched with firelines so it looks more real and the plastic transports the light of the led better as standard plastics.

Thanks to my wife to put two plastics together to make it more 3D

Here you can see it attached to the dragon

and finaly
Video:

I done some more pictures and finaly got the wires through the neck. So you will see NO WIRES outsite of the dragon anymore!

Here you can see the cables you have only to connect it inbetween the flashercable of the dragon flasher

a dragonslayer at work!
This was needed to make the wires invisible. I got it and all wires are going insite the dragon.

Missing entrance plastic for Medieval Madness

Donnerstag, Februar 3rd, 2011

I recently bought a custom decal set for the targets and the entrance bracket from pinballdecals.com (thanks for this Joey).

But the decal for the entrance bracket is only a adhesive decal and it’s missing the plastic.
I made a vector graphic and ordered a plastic cutted with a laser.

Here you see se original left and right plastics and in the middle the new parts:

I went to a advertising company and get some double sided transparent adhesive to connect the decal to the bottom of the new plastic

After making this one, I am thinking of make a new bigger one, covers the complete bracket…
