I HATE ROUTING!! (and you should too)
Always wear as many things on your head as possible when routing in the sun.
Yes I know the routing is ugly as sin, I had to do it with my hand router and due to the constraints of the framed area it was an exercise in trying to not kill myself with a hand-held blender on crack with no option for guides.
Routers scare the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- out of me because of how fast they move. Also table saws. And chain saws (except when playing DooM
). We do what we have to do! Respect your tools!
Where I am the sun is so bad you just stay the hell out of it. Days over 41C (105F) for weeks, forecast says thunderstorms almost every day but no rain comes, just soul-sucking humidity.
Wouldn't worry about some slightly rough routing, noone will see it. Your build is looking great, very innovative. Reminds me of Laythe's builds a little (eg
Shapeshifter).
You can setup the frontend to match movie posters (when in display mode, you might slideshow them) with appropriate movie-themed pinball tables when opened into pinball mode. Like, you see the Terminator II movie post then open up into Terminator II pinball, etc. Transitioning from movie poster to matching pinball would be very cool. Seems there are quite a few movie-themed pinballs, for example:

Just associate appropriate pop-culture image with the pop-culture themed machine. You can have multiple lists.
