    Thumbs up Plastimake - Possible product for manufacturing replacement parts?

    I found this today; I don't know if anyone else has run across the stuff to determine whether it's a viable solution for manufacturing missing/broken replacement parts.

    I did not find the stuff on Amazon, but I found several nearly identical products, InstaMorph and ThermoMorph. If you search for Plastimake, both of those products as well as a few others will show up.
    A Hardy har har...

    Seen that stuff before. Not sure how well it holds up though. Also feel like it would warp fairly easily over time.

    100 machines and counting...

    I ordered some from Amazon to make a new light cover for my 1 bar pachi and a jackpot assembly for a vintage pachinko. I'll post how it turns out !

    The material came in today..... Oh boy lol. Light cover... No way. Easy parts like covers ? Possible. Hard parts like clear centerpiece covers.... I don't think so. dont get me wrong I'm going to try more but I think in the end the 3d printer will win. Though I do have some ideas about using this stuff to extend the chute for balls out the back to avoid the bounce outs :-) possibly make a large collector bin that fits under the output chute with it? Who knows :-). It is cheap and fun to play with. I did use it to repair a broken fill hopper somewhat successfully :-)

    Covers referring to jackpot covers that are there to keep the dust out, sorry for any confusion. It's hard white when cured not transparent at all but can be colored easily.
