Dungeons and Dragons: The Tyrant’s Eye Start Button

Andy Sokol — Tue, 07 Jan 2025 03:46:31 +0000

This gorgeous start button features a 3D rendition of the D&D dragon ampersand, atop a translucent base in the color of your choice!

The dragon is printed in your choice stunning dual-color metallic filaments -- they really need to be seen in real life (not in photos) to be truly appreciated, as the shiny sheen of the dragon changes color over its surface and by your viewing angle. Available dual-color dragons are red/black (inspired by Rath the Relentless), green/gold, or orange/gold. Single color sparkling dragons are also available -- and any dragon you choose can be printed on one of thirteen different translucent base colors!

The button itself has a rounded outer edge, and the dragon body is rounded where applicable, to be pleasing to the touch. As usual, the photos just don't do this button justice!

Special thanks to AndresMF for the dragon model which I further modified for improved print quality and fit/function.

Star Trek Start Button (Stern)

Andy Sokol — Tue, 26 Sep 2023 02:57:17 +0000

Boldly going where no Start Button has gone before -- into the 3rd dimension!

This trek-inspired button features a beautiful spherically-curved surface printed in shiny metallic filament, with material strategically omitted to allow the insignia and 'START' to light up in the base color.

Since Star Trek was released before Stern began using the now-standard 1.5" start buttons, this item includes a complete housing assembly to fully replace the small, recessed start button. The new assembly will cover the counterbore in the cabinet, leaving you with a clean installation of a larger 1.5" start button!

Andy Sokol — Tue, 26 Sep 2023 02:47:21 +0000

The button comes pre-installed in a replacement housing assembly. Included with the button is a full kit to replace the non-lighted original start button with this new lighted version; no soldering is required!

Kit includes:
- 3D start butting with housing
- Bulb housing with pre-soldered 12" Comet matrix connector
- Bulb to match button (appropriate color bulb makes the color more 'rich')
- Custom cabinet bushing to properly align the button
- Comet matrix flex bulb, to tap into power at left coin reject button; your choice of color
- Matching comet bulb for other coin reject button (so the buttons match in light color)

See images and installation video for more details.

For the 2013 Metallica, button includes a complete housing assembly to fully replace the existing small, recessed start button.

For the 2024 Metallica Remastered, only the button cap is required.

LightShields for Inserts

Mike Ford — Wed, 28 Sep 2022 22:08:50 +0000

Errant light spilling into inserts from nearby bulbs can be annoying & distracting. 3D-printed LightShields reduce the effect -- install at a nearby screw under the playfield! The base includes two holes for optional fit/positioning, and the shield itself is thin enough to trim off material to provide clearance if necessary. LightShield color may vary but will always be neutral (e.g., gray or black). Sold in packs of 10 for $10.
