Once the proto checked for any alterations needed I can do this in 1 or 2mm extruded acrylic in clear or alternatively 1, 1.5 or 2mm HIPs in various colours inc Black.

Yes
Looking forward to trying this, how would you suggest attaching?
I’ll stick some cheap thin double sided tape on the proto just lmk any adjustments and I’ll ament and do in whatever colour preferred.
I think maybe 3M tape for the finished one.

HiCol I will try it with the thin tape but it may not work as well . Like you say though trial and error. As long as it’s more in total than 2mm to clear the side rail it should work

Hi Col I don’t think it will work in 1mm my prototype is in 2mm with 2mm of tape behind it 1mm is thinner than the side rail we are trying to avoid
Thanks for the help with this, pop bumper now working correctly! The switch was squashed closed so always "on" and never triggering, so I prised it apart a fraction and it now triggers as expected
Every machine is different. Some never need to be touched, some need quite a bit of tinkering, it's the luck of the draw. Rest assured that any issues you have, you can normally be helped out by people on here
Mine has been pretty good apart from the sdtm out of the building on multiball.
My last AIQ required a ton of adjustments out of the box and my Elvira was perfect but others had issues.
No issues with my GZLE really.
Apart from when the building went down and back up, it peeled the decal off the lower part.
It was due to the heat (Weather) and this made the rubber grommets under the playfield softer, causing building to lean forward a few mm and got caught on clear plastic in front of the building
This has been a common issue according to Patrick
Edit: Have posted procedure for building alignment for those that may have issue.

machine from first run. Does have the plunger issue.
didnt have the SDTM issue from building.
Have since moved the machine forward a bit as floor is sinking under the weight of all the pins
(almost put a 7ft fish tank where these are now
)
Both before and after moving a bit the machine was levelled with a digital meter. Now i have the SDTM issue. so go figure ??
That issue is obviously very sensitive to how the machine is set up.
Will fix it with a small clear dot at the building exit if need be.

great stuff @Colywobbles - put me on the list please.
no problems with mine from new in the box ,3 months on
I have a rattle on mine, so if this solves it then I'm keen. Would love to see it in action and what it actually does to solve the issue

the ball hugs the right hand rail and as it drops from the ramp to the playfield it hits the lower stainless ball guide and gets pushed left and rattles .I did several slow motion videos to find out what was happening it annoyed the hell out of me.
