Pooling Star Post Single - 1 & 1/16"

FREE DOWNLOAD or Shapeways Cost purchase with no markup - Swinks does not make a cent from this

This is a purely a concept in which I have put no markup and earn nothing, and opened up the option for people to download the STL for free to print for themselves. Not to be on-sold unless you contact me first.

The concept is that some people are experience playfield clear cost pooling (buldging and lifting of clear) and these parts aim to lift the post so you visually don't see the problem.

This post is similar to a regular star post but modified at the base only with a 2mm clearance with the base that touches the playfield with the post being 9mm in diameter which is equal to a skinny post. Then the wider section of the post is 18mm which effectively hides the pooling or and marks from repairing. The advantage of this design is that it keeps the rubber at the same height as original and will not change game play. Lastly the internal of the post is solid so will be strong.

This is not a fix, rather a concept band aid fix to not see the pooling and potential cracking of clear coat and art.

So if anyone wants to download & test and print some up with the flat side down to the print plate and the tapered side on the top. Look below for the action button - "Download Product" to download the STL. Button you need to be a Shapeways Member which costs nothing.

Hope it helps...
