The Web - VirtUal Pinball eXTreme
Ond:
Built around this alumium frame:
A back box insert which holds the back box glass in place:
Ond:
Test fitting into the back box of the glass retaining insert and speaker panel. This allows me to exactly position the panel against the back glass image:
After cutting out the DMD window, I've glued the speaker panel and panel edge into its correct position:
I'm getting near to gap and hole patching, surface treatment and priming of the back box. Once that's done I will move on to the main playfield cabinet.
Ond:
Got to get it smooth:
First primer applied on the back box, one of three - rough coat:
Going to 3D print some raised letters to spell 'The Web' to go just above the DMD cut-out.

Looking good. Is that venting on the back or a crazy amount of admin buttons?

Heh, it does look a bit like some weird button panel but no, your first guess is right. The monitor going in the back box gets gets almost hot with long use. Fan blown air will move up the back of the monitor and vent at those holes to keep it cool. I'll put mesh or something on the inside surface or even inset and flush on the back of the box.
Since I had to work in the store today (it's like a Radio Shack) I put the 3D printer to good use, printing some raised lettering and button inserts for the Vpin:
I have tomorrow to work on personal projects so lets see what I can get done...
