Thanks all, still far from being completed, it is allot more work then i thought, especially because its a pinball cabinet and not a standard upright.
the software part is giving me headache !
Martijn,
I am considering a very similar build as I have space constraints in the room I want to put my pinball in. Do you have an approximate cost for all the components pulled together?
I think i have about 2000-2500 euro in there

It can be very budget if you already have a computer, and will paint the cab instead of artwork and install no flashing/vibrating/clicking toys.
If you can find a used pinball cabinet for a cheap price you already have most original parts to make it look authentic.
Because i wanted a smaller one i needed special sizes for everything. And i went for optiwhite hardened glass (both playfield+backglass box), this glass is so strong you can stand on it, and optiwhite versions don't have a green glass glow, its extra clear.
Here is a closeup picture of one side of the artwork. both sides are different, all the pinball balls have different logos on both sides.
Here a small log about the dmd creating part.
Dmd panel cut to size

I printed out a drilling template and glued it onto the final sized dmd mdf panel

Used the cirlce cutting jig to cut out a circle, not all the way through. because i wont want it to warp, i route out the rest with a copy bit.

Place holders onto the template

Route out the rest

Apply laminate

All done

Then apply the artwork, so you can route out the sticker inside, you can
NEVER get such a smooth shave of the sticker with a knife

ultra smooth




Then route of the back for the lcd and speaker, leave 2-3mm of mdf dept left over

Paint the inside edge with a marker, clean up the artwork if it has some markings with some alcohol.

Pressing speaker grill and glued it in place

Done
