Finally finished printing this. Over 40 hrs and 1.5kg of plastic plus the electric and man hours too boot. Even running 2 modded printers
I got the design from the internet. So there is no credence to me whatsoever. Its an incredible piece of design, there is also a GZ and JAWS toppers too
If your stuck and want one printed send me a DM

Wow. Imagine if it cocked up right at the end 
it did, don’t try printing it in 2 tone silk …Wow. Imagine if it cocked up right at the end
Saw that one earlier today and through it looked good... proves it does!!
Added another 100m or so to the PB tonight - similar game, about an hour of play but only real difference was this time I managed to reach the top of the tower and can confirm there will be a wizard mode there (eventually!)
My flippers were starting to suffer by the end of a long game, not sure if anybody else has experienced the same fade but I can feel the centre ramp get increasingly difficult as time goes on. You can still make it but “rattle and it’ll carry on through” turns more into “rattle and it’s coming straight back at you”. Might need to look into cooling fan options if it continues to be an issue.

I will have a number of sets available at Pinfest for people to purchase.
Probably worth pre-ordering to ensure I don't sell out.

Fitted my plastic protectors today after finding the package in the garden 
Photos for anyone still trying to decide on colours. Sometimes orange bleeds through the plastics too much but I think it looks great on Kong with the darker plastics and the neat cut-outs Col does for the lights on the inlanes. Thanks Col!

Labyrinth has been stealing all my attention this week but looking forward to trying the new kong code. Most interested in the new nyc modes as even with the 3 ways to play it could get a bit dull doing the same mode multiple times in a game.The orange looks really neat
Everybody enjoying the new code?
Hmm....this is probably going to be very rare but the downside to leaving the end of the shooter lane open......during a multiball a ball fell into the shooter lane just as another was being served resulting in this little jam. I tilted trying to resolve the situation. Timing must have been perfect for it to happen
Thanks to Neil M for bringing one to pinfest, I thought id hate it, I didn't!
There definitely some jack danger influence with the ball path the entry from the left to the flipper interesting, nearly caught me out a couple of times
