					<description><![CDATA[<p>Designed specifically for King Kong Premium version (with its biplane artwork surrounding the start button), this 3D start button features the rest of the propeller blades and central spinner cap!  The raised blades are printed in a metallic multicolor filament for additional depth effect -- plus a metallic white along their leading edge to match the shine in the artwork. The spinner cap is printed in metallic silver, while the remainder is printed in your choice of translucent tangerine or amber. The tangerine lights up very, very light -- almost white to the naked eye -- while the amber lights up more of an orange. Both look great though so the choice is up to you!</p>
<p>IMPORTANT NOTE TO EXISTING CUSTOMERS: If you own a Premium but already purchased my other Kong start button (the gold meander pattern w/ rock letters) and you'd prefer to have this version instead, I have set up a special discount where you can purchase this new version for only $10!  Your coupon code will be your last name plus your order number (for example, DOHERTY90210).</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Get started catching Pokémon with a poké ball 3D start button from Rocket City Pinball! This representation of a poké ball features smooth curvature, with natural depth around the black seam and a raised center button. RCP's unique design utilizes six different color filaments, resulting in a button that looks crisp red &#38; white while unlit, and still glows a beautiful bright red &#38; white when lit. Mid-layer filament changes permanently fuse all components together.</p>
<p>Special thanks to Fuzzy_Wafflz whose poke ball model served as a jumping-off point; major modifications were then required to create the finished RCP design.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>I always loved the janky sign at Beetlejuice's gravesite, and given that's where the troubles with Beetlejuice 'start' (har har, see what I did there), it seemed appropriate to work it into my start button design! The gravesite sign &#38; tombstone use the correct BETELGEUSE spelling, so I retained that in the design -- but I took some liberty and made it BETELSTART instead. The inconsistent pattern of the red &#38; yellow bulbs is captured around the circumference of the button.</p>
<p>The button is available in two different versions. Both versions include a housing assembly (to size up from the small button Spooky uses).</p>
<p>- The first version includes a border/frame that adds the marquee style arrow. This border is affixed to the button assembly housing, and is designed to sit flush against the face of the cabinet. The arrow design includes overlap into the frame, for additional strength and also sits against the cabinet.<br />
- The second version simply omits the border &#38; arrow and is just the button with a black housing. While this version is an incomplete representation of the gravesite sign, it's simply an additional option available for personal preference.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>World Poker Tour uses a smaller, recessed start button so this custom 3D-printed start button includes a housing to replace the original button and cover up the counterbore in the cabinet. The button is designed to look just like the poker chips on the cabinet, with a WPT-esque logo in the center. The center clear section and the logo light up!</p>
<p>Pre-assembled in complete housing assembly, fully replaces the small, recessed start button and covers the counterbore in the cabinet.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Replace your boring plain start button with a gorgeous 3D start button from Rocket City Pinball!</p>
<p>Six options are available for Harry Potter, all of which are 3D-printed in 5 to 6 different colors using mid-layer filament changes to fuse all sections together into one beautiful button.</p>
<p>The stylized house crest versions feature transparent outer sections as well as transparent crest backgrounds, and metallic foreground animals with a pleasing hemispherically-rounded shape. Choose your assigned house! Some details on the filament types/colors used:<br />
- Gryffindor's transparent red base features gold sparkles to match the gold lion.<br />
- Slytherin's transparent green base features sparkles to match the silver snake.<br />
- Ravenclaw's features a unique metallic black for the eagle.<br />
- Hufflepuff's crest frame is black with gold sparkles, complementing the yellow base. Even the crest's dark sections are a transparent gray, allowing the entire crest to light up.</p>
<p>The Quidditch variation features a quidditch hoop, with wood grain and a mounting brace, a quaffle scoring a goal, and a small snitch flying in the background, on a sky blue base. This is also available on a white/clear base, if you prefer cloudy skies.</p>
<p>Special thanks to stigg for the wood grain, nawadap for the quaffle, and Innovations 3D for the crests, all of which have been heavily manipulated and modified to incorporate into my designs.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>"Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the world. May He keep the world for His people."</p>
<p>Rocket City Pinball's 3D start button for Dune is a great Shai-Hulud! Available in variations with the cavernous dark in the center, or one with START in raised Dune-esque font. (The dark center was removed on the START version for better legibility, and the text is light blue to represent the effects of the spice.) The teeth/baleen are available in transparent white or transparent gray; an owner requested the gray version to better match the models/art inside the game.  The outer perimeter and surface have an organic, wavy texture for a more lifelike worm-skin appearance.  The sandworm's teeth/baleen light up when the button is lit.  (It's difficult to photography when lit -- looks even better in person!)<br />
Printed with mid-layer filament changes, permanently fusing all parts together.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Designed to match the K-I-N-G--K-O-N-G inserts featured prominently on the playfield, this 3D Start Button features exquisite black &#38; gold detailing plus orange rock letters spelling 'START'. The playfield artwork's letters have foliage on top, so the buttons are made in two versions -- with or without foliage. The button is printed using mid-layer filament changes so it is entirely fused together. The gold is printed in a metallic filament and the outer border and letters are printed in a specialty filament designed to look and feel like rock!</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Twilight Zone uses a smaller recessed start button; this new button includes a full housing assembly which replaces the existing button and covers up the counterbore in the cabinet. The housing itself is dressed up with an additional custom shroud, to help continue the mysterious tunnel/cone/spiral look, blending in the with art on the cabinet. START letters light up in a TZ-esque font.</p>
<p>The housing shroud and the button face are printed using mid-layer filament changes, fusing the colors together. The shroud is glued to the button housing during pre-assembly prior to shipping.</p>
<p>Your choice of bulb is included - white, blue, or red.  New microswitch included, so if your game has spade terminals (without a soldered diode), you can simply transfer the spades to the new switch.  See Installation Instructions section for more details.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>This start button is 3D printed using mid-print filament changes that fuse all four colors together.  It's designed to look like a vinyl record, with a Beatles-esque font protruding from the surface.  Center "label" is translucent so it lights up.  Fun fact: smooth sections between songs are positioned in the same places as the Hard Day's Night album!</p>
