    3D Start Buttons

    Taking start buttons to the next dimension! Replaces the lens & token in 1.5" start button assemblies used current era Stern & JJP games. Most consist of a single continuous multiple-filament print, changed mid-print to permanently fuse all the colors together. See installation video at the bottom of this page.

    Alien

    $35

    Who wants a hug?  Launch button for Alien, fits Heighway or Pinball Brothers. The shudder-inducing Facehugger adorns the face of this two-filament print, printed as a continuous piece (with a filament change in the process) to fuse the hugger to the button face.  Don't worry, it can't jump off at you!

    Avengers (2012)

    $30 / $35

    Includes housing/switch assembly to fully replace the small recessed button and cover the counterbore with this larger 1.5" diameter button.  Captain America is four separate pieces snapped together, with shield-like  curvature, available in metallic (for that vibranium shine!) or matte, $35 w/ housing.  Iron Man arc reactor is two pieces snapped together, and is $5 less due to simpler/shorter print time.  Avengers assemble!

    Avengers: Infinity Quest

    $25 / $30

    Captain America is four separate pieces snapped together, with shield-like  curvature, available in metallic (for that vibranium shine!) or matte, $30 each.  Iron Man arc reactor is two pieces snapped together, and is $5 less due to simpler/shorter print time.  Avengers assemble!

    Batman 66

    $30 / $35

    You can practically HEAR this button!  Black bat on green backsplash on translucent yellow button, but fully customizable to your choice of colors.  Splash points have nice surface curvature so they're not sharp and stabby.  Batman-esque font and eyes in negative space so the base color light shines through!   Also available with housing/switch assembly ($5 extra) to fully replace small recessed button on the early run machines.

    Baywatch

    $35

    Light blue backing with a rescue orange life preserver!  Button, text, & preserver are printed together; the white wraps are printed separately and added in post-processing.  No housing required, the original button and recess are already the proper size!  Don't forget to purchase matching coin reject buttons, featuring rescue cans!

    Bond 007

    $30

    Several options available for Stern's latest release: 1965 or 2015 SPECTRE logos with or without 'START ' text (rounded surfaces on textless versions), or two variations of 'gun barrel' posess, complete with rifling!  Can be printed with any color backing, since the different trim levels have different color artwork.  

    Deadpool

    $30

    Using the same rounded surface technique as the Avengers button, this Deadpool-inspired button is printed in clear/white with a mid-print filament change to black, then the red section (printed separately in your choice of standard red or metallic red) is snapped into place. Maximum effort!

    Elvira's House of Horrors

    $30

    Four different filaments are used to create this beautifully spooky button, with shadowed Elvira-esque lettering  atop a spider web.  Outer ends of web have nice surface curvature so they're not sharp and stabby. 

    Game of Thrones

    $30 / $35

    This fiery Targaryen-inspired button features a sparkling blood-red sigil and golden lettering.  Games from the 2019 run require only the button cover for $30; games from the original 2015 run will require full switch & housing assembly (included for additional $35) to replace the original small, recessed start button.  See instructional video in Videos section.

    Iron Maiden

    $30

    Modeled to represent the eye of Cyborg Eddie (from Somewhere in Time).

    More complicated than it appears: the outer silver shell is one piece, and the inner "lens" is a press-fit second piece ... but that lens also consists of two separate pieces (green and red) assembled mid-print and then permanently joined together by the white layers.

    Iron Man

    $25 / $30

    Iron Man arc reactor includes a metallic silver shroud with internal lens to glow from the inside!  Vault run from 2020 requires only the button itself ($25); all earlier versions require housing/switch assembly ($5 additional) to fully replace the small recessed button and cover the counterbore with this larger 1.5" diameter button.

These aren't just light spots, they actually reflect light and shine, looking just like a starry night sky.  Photos don't do them justice; this video helps a little (https://youtu.be/KImDDkgYMe0) but they must be seen to be believed -- they look just like the night sky!
