Some of you may have heard of the Snackbar Mod and my work over the years. I am an Aussie downunder creating mods and reproduction pinball parts. I am a mechanical engineer by trade and worked in the aircraft and CNC industry for many years but now off the tools and in the office in asset management in a different field. I wanted to keep up my designing skills & tinker around and in 2010 finally got a pinball and from there got a 3D printer and the fun began.
I have a website where I list mods but also alot of reproduction parts that are no longer available avilable to order direct from Shapeways (The Netherlands and USA).

CFTBL was my first DMD which I owned for 9 years and only just sold it a week ago sadly but family first, lack of room, renos etc etc.
I started the Snackbar Mods about 5 years ago and I have been a regular poster on Pinside and sold quite a few through there and then had a few UK guys reach out for one and they educated me about Pinballinfo so here I am to share with you my latest and final limited number of Snackbar Mods.
This is Version 5 as over the years I tweaked the design to improve it and make it better each time. I have a manual for each version on my website and in the recent v5 manual explains the differences with each one. Some people may fall over with the price but many would admit and share that it is well engineered and high quality and adds a nice feel to the game - that should of been there from when the game was manufactured. Even Trudeau reached out years ago and complemented me on a well thought out mod that compliments the game. The 3D printing is done with professional printers in Singapore and from there are holes tapped, mulitple coats of paint added, accessories fitted etc etc. The 3D printing is solid and no partially hollow home prints as well as a custom stainless steel mounting plate designed and made, magnets, decals, wiring, lighting and hardware - and surprisingly there are 44 parts to just this one mod.
In this latest edition it has a unique magnetic release system where the base plate is fastened down to the game but the top is magnetised to the base plate meaning if a globe goes out it is a 3 second removal to fix.
This is my last ever run of 50-55 mods (I am vague there to cover myself for a bad plate or decals when full assembled) - aiming for 55 units but confident of at least 50 units. I will not be making anymore in the future so this is the last ever run.
I keep a list of interested parties - so to get on the list send me your:
- full name
- email address - for group updates
- country
- and no money down until the mod is ready to ship.
Once the list is full with 50 people the list is closed and will only reopen for the remaining units available as I don't want to disappoint people. A thread will go up at Pinside in a days time and sure it will fill up fairly quickly as the list already has 22 people on it from those hassling me to do another batch over the last 6 months.
I make 12 at a time over a 5-6 week period and when ready I then contact those 12 people waiting and send out the payment options.
Units 1-4 - protos - have been made and sent out
Units 5-16 - 3dprinting being made and everything else in stock so ready in about 4-5 weeks
The mod is $350 AUD + postage (charge the raw cost + box cost) - no packing fees etc.
The mod is fitted with Comet Pinball led lighting that is fed from the feature light and a GI socket so is hassle free and no need to connect to the backbox boards.
Also this mod will accept @stumblor awesome lighting upgrade if you wanted to take the mod to a awesome new level.
