    The mark of any good craftsman is when you see some object affixed to a wall of your house, think "that'll do the trick...", rip it off the wall, and make it part of your project. Kudos!

      The cost of the machinery, the products used, many hours of labour, the skill to make it happen ... it’s not a mass production line, so paying for the convenience of having it made for me because I don’t have most of the above equipment & skills.. at least US$200

    This guy may have discovered the future of pinball machines. Now if you can only re-create the ability to use a plunger to launch the ball or initiate tilting.

    • @NerdsMakers
      @NerdsMakers  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      both joysticks are still accessible in the controller, in Pinball FX3 you can use your left thumb to nudge and your right thumb to pull back the "plunger". A full size plunger would be far too complicated for the spirit of the build.

      @@NerdsMakers In fact at th-cam.com/video/cZmcty6b4fA/w-d-xo.html , we can see two open ovals in front of your two empty boxes, you can use them for wires and cables for connecting to your TV and power. Cut two round on top for speakers.
      I don't know if it's possible, but you should add some buttons for - + menu home. So you won't need to put out your joy cons for using these buttons.
      I am glad I help you out with my ideas.
