Working on the right ramp, it has a diverter which will open when the ball locks are qualified, balls will go into a vuk and be staged on a bridge above the ramp.

Next I have to rework the center VUK. It was rejecting too much and felt really unfair. I replaced the pop behind it with a slingshot, which gave me enough space to make it deeper. It has plenty of time to settle now and doesn’t reject. The vuk will kick the ball up into a helix ramp that feeds the upper flipper.

Back on making wire forms, this is the center ramp fed from the vuk I’ve been reworking. The ball feeds round and under the right ramp dropping onto the playfield to feed upper flipper.
I first bed the wire into a rough shape and spaced things out with some 3d printed brackets. Some bracing welds can then be added.
The upper guide rail can then be added and welded into place.
The excess supports were then trimmed off.
