Those pop bumper rings are the best. I never did like how the flat plastics just laid on top of the pops. The rings not only give it a 3D look, but bring more light to the area.

Keep up the good work guys!

Can all the new parts (when completed) be purchased as a kit from Pinbits?

Also any plans on making a mylar kit for high wear areas??

Cliffy and Martin,

Welcome to the site... great to have you here. Nice stuff too Smile

Howza bout some mylar for the drop targets - don't forget the underground Wink

and spinner and a couple for the ball drop areas. Might be a nice package. Also would be nice if you made these in the material used in the pinpal playfield protectors... not quite as tough as mylar, but easily removable and replaceable Cool

Cliffy,

All of these items look great, Martin's Web Site indicated they are all sold out. Will there be more or did I miss out?

I would pre-order if Martin will set that up, I'm sure others would do the same.

1) Plastic guards and foam kits are available.
2) We now have inventory of pop bumper dress kits.
3) Still working on the rings. The template is completed, but I want to have one more go at a friction fit before we go to recommending silicone adhesive. If I were doing this again, I would have cut more sizing plates early in the process!
4) We should have metal for the Dartz hole tomorrow, testing this week.
5) Still working on the mylar design and process.

Thanks for the update Martin. I'll keep looking so that I can get all four of the items for my BBB in one go!

Happy 4th

Website says that you are already out of Pop Bumper kits - Is this true?

Sorry, foam, popbumper and plastic guards are all in good supply - will be updated tomorrow.

A little more detail on supply...

There are a couple of constraints. One is material; we have plenty on hand right now, with more coming. But we are being very careful to match colors, and hold back material for people who purchase one set but will later want the other. As we get more material in, life will be a little easier.

The second is design. The machine that we are working on (Kerry's) and the machines that cut the metal and plastic are all about 30 minutes apart from each other.

My next trip to Kerry's should resolve the ring sizing problem. And we should also get the mylar templates completed. Plus, we have the first metal in hand.

So a bit of work should see all this stuff in hand in the next few days.
