Prefect! It's a must to predrill screw holes especially with MDF. The board will crack if you don't. You guys did an amazing job!
The He-Man artwork and Playfield art is OUT of this world.
Great Job.- For doing the corner holes I bought the metal brackets and put the leg brackets inside the cabinet first. Then used the bolt holes as a drill bit guide. Drilling from the inside of the cabinet outward toward the corner. Worked great.
+Michael Mitchell Thats a good idea, was really tricky to drill the holes like that. Cheers Olsen
I have wood, tools, computer, screens. Just the basics for now. Thanks to this video, I am not motivated to finally build my own.
Lol I hope that's a typo
I used to build pin cabinets. Just some info.,
You can get real “lock down bars” for the front, backbox fold down hinges, and glass guides. Also, MDF crumbles easily. You should glue 1”x1” molding on the inside of the corners.
Probably the best build...made with a lot of love and patience
Watched this back when it was first uploaded.
just now starting my own build. Good video
Aren't worried the MDF won't like the beer as much as we do? Will the Williams legs accept the metric screws?
Henning Wehn has been telling the world Germans do like a laugh but they only do it after the work is done: has he been lying all this time or you consider this activity more a form o leisure than work? Did you know pinball machines originated in Germany (afaik - icbw)?
I really liked the real time video! I once saw a video about replacing SMD components - it was easy and so quick! It actually was hard and time consuming and I damaged the board ... 😮💨
Awesome video! Thanks!
Fantastic build! Thanks for sharing!
I understand with Pinball FX3 you need to contact Steam for the code to change your viewing to a orginal looking playfield view.
When using Future pinball and Virtual Pinball where do go to change the viewing for a realistic playfield view on the playfield monitor.
Much appreciated! 🍻
Chris
Very impressed with the whole build. Well done boys, my next build is this cabinet. Thank you
This pinball is heavy as a Leopard 2 tank. Nice job
Nice cab guys, Deffo not overkill on the pre-drilled holes, MDF tends to split if you drive screws into the edge without holes predr
illed.
Great build ! Enjoyed the commentary as well.
No wonder the west is being destroyed and invaded , you are all little boys playing with toys . Well done be proud of yourselves .
Very super cool guys! My buddy and I have just discovered a games room with an old Ghostbusters pinball machine which we play every Friday after work. We are now looking into building a virtual pinball machine and you have definitely inspired us to do it! Thank you so much for sharing this very informative and fun video. Cheers from Moncton, New Brunswick Canada! Merry Christmas and Peace
Thanks, I am sure your build will turn out great.
Cheers Olsen
I only discovered that people were building cabinets for pinball games yesterday. now I'm watching videos to find the best ideas for building this.
Good luck with your build. :)
Just ordered an ALP arriving soon and had no idea people were into Vpins and building them up to around 10 years ago until last month lol. Always late to the party.
Oh my God.
I never knew I needed this until this very second.
Hehe DO IT! :)
MDF (Medium Density Fiber) is always better than Particle board , it's easier to file and sand as opposed to OSB-board .
I want to see an upgrade video. Maybe put in a shaker motor and a nudge sensor? You could even show the plunger you were talking about.
This is a fantastic V-pin! Thanks for sharing the construction details! :)
Nice video. It's cool that your MDF is black. The kind we have here is just regular wood colored.
Yeah black tinted MDF is great but also a bit more costly.
for upcoming builders, there are markings inside of the legs so you know exactly where to put them ;)
Awesome build, thanks for sharing!
Awesome... now I definitly need to build my own ;-)
+TheCoon Yeah it's great. We don't have a lot of time to play and upgrade it at the moment. Damn work! I hope we can make a 2.0 video soon. Cheers Olsen
Whoa, 22:34 spray painting too close. :) But everything else. Great. I'm so wanting to build one. And I moved and threw away a great old computer. :(
excellent job on building your own digital pinball machine
Tony D Thank you Tony.
i know this is old video did you ever add any exciters,Solenoids,shaker motor, or even bass shaker give that real pinball feel .
Had to watch this one twice. Learned a lot. Very well done! :)
Hey guys, you forgot about holes for beer bottle on the lower corners in cabinet :) Great job!
+skawa80 Yeah that would be an awesome upgrade. :) Thanks!
Great video and thanks for taking the time to produce it. I now have a new project for myself :)
Thanks alot, it was fun for us too. :)
Wow! You guys did an amazing job on that build and you made it look easy(Which I know it isn't). I want to run out to garage and start building one of my own ;).
that was a fun build to watch.nice work!
+trailervert Thanks :)
I wanted to know how I can make this option to be able to choose several pimball, just like a fine game.
Great video! I'm a huge Killzone fan, so I like your Shadow Fall poster in the background too!
Thats the best looking basement ever. I love Europe, everyone has an awesome basement bar !! awesome work on the pin ball machine too lol.
Yeah nothing better than a nice Partykeller.
17:20 Call the vice police! That's some vice!!!!
how about a pinball machine dedicated to all the rock and pop bands that did have a pinballl machine made
German Engineering and USA idea and Australian Rock = Awesome...... go build
Thanks guys, I have started building my own and benefitted from some of your tips. Cool.
+blackvulcan3 Hi, thats awesome. Good luck on your build.
Cheers Olsen
quite sick indeed
Wow, very cool. I think I will try to build one but I don't think that it'll come out as well as yours.
Nice video, nice job. Just wondering why not install the display a little lower to create some depth in the cabinet like at mechanical machines to get a more realistic analog look? Also for protection of the screen, with on top a glass plate. I remember some people lean over or put there glass or beer can on top of the cabinet (accidentally) and this can scratch/damage the screen when there is no protection at all. Besides, you can also use some mirrors/metal/chrome like at the analog versions of these machines for a nice 50 style finish.
When you create some depth in the cabinet, there is some 'room' to create an optional 3D version of it, with 3D glasses. That would be awesome. Just some ideas.
no 90 degrees desktop rotation? will be a nice idea for future updates because you will not have to turn around the table!
Sehr feines Video. Gut gemacht! Eine Frage hätte ich auch: welche Folie genau verwendet ihr, um die Ränder des Acrylglases abzudecken?
Excellent!
It would be cool if you put links for hardware and software. also price points for each.
have one built dedicated to all the rock bands regulation size
Nice machine shop you have there guys...love that massive vise ! I am a machinist and we have a great shop but yours is even better...nice and clean :)
Shane Low Thanks Shane! :)
Like the details. Good job.
+Artur Pitanga Thanks :)
Its going to come apart! You can pull screws out of MDF by hand You did not glue ANY joints Its not going to last sorry to say You need to glue and screw mdf! its weak stuff and it swells and gets soft with moisture in the air! its basically Cardboard! Thats why you put a finish on MDF Paint or clear at least something!
Lovely work. I wonder if you guys have done the following yet? 1)nudge/tilt input 2) BAM kit 3)force-feedback 4)cab artwork
Gut gemacht Jungs....
Hab mal direkt eure Webseite in die Favoriten gespeichert und euch abonniert! Tolle Arbeit, Jungs! Der Flipper sieht echt gut aus und ihr könnt stolz sein! :)
Mein Projekt ist ein Pinball-Cabinet mit Future Pinball - allerdings auf Ubuntu mit playonlinux!
Wenn das fertig ist, kann ich mir einen Fahrsimulator oder eine Arcade-Maschine als nächstes Projekt vorstellen - mal sehen!
Ich mag Rennspiele auch sehr gern und habe früher als Jugendlicher in der Pommesbude Flipper und Street Fighter II gespielt. Zocken mit Freunden und eine Pommes mit Currywurst oder Friko, waren schöne Zeiten!
Outstanding. Love it
O melhor vídeo sobre Pimball que assisti.
Parabéns
No worries. We also say flipper in France.
Good Job....One of the best i've seen
Im soooooooo jealous! Good job! I dont have the hands for do this!
Thanks alot. :)
Thank you for posting this video! It provided me with a great deal of motivation and instruction!
Do you recall which size screws, drill bit, and countersink bit you used? Thanks again!
What type of TV IS? decription complete please.
Excellent Video. Thanks for doing it in English!
Thanks and no problem. :)
Wow, what a great video! Thank you!
Thanks alot :)
Thanks Guys for sharing this .... thanks a lot
You are welcome. :)
Super toll gemacht. Bin wirklich neidisch. Irgendwann tue ich es euch nach.
Beautiful work , I'm building a new one soon because my old one was tiny and got damaged during moving. I'll say one thing of all the builds I've watched everyone uses some pricey controller ....I just bought a broken xbox 360 controller for next to nothing and just soldered the buttons straight to the controller board and job done , I'm wondering am I missing out on anything though, is there any advantage to using a controller like the ipac 4 ?
Nice job! I want one...
Sorry to ask, what is 3d stereoscopic tv ? Is there any spesific brand that can support stereoscopic tv ?
yes
Bonita pinball!! Cuanto ha costado el proyecto? Gracias!! ❤️
Nice video and fun to watch. Take care now.
Thanks alot. :)
Great video and a great pinball you created! What thickness of Aluminium profile did you use to create the lockbar? Do it feel comfortable after playing for long so you would have preferred a real lockbar instead?
What thickness was the plexiglass please? 10mm?
Very good!
he man makes me feel old, id rather forget about the muscle mary
Awesome!
Wow, such a cool video. I've just started with Visual Pinball X and hooked already. Would love to build a cabinet myself. Do you, by any chance, have a diagram for the mdf plates so that I know how to cut them?
Where would I be able to get design plans on how to build a pinball machine? Thanks!
What if I want my cabinet to be as big as an Ultra Widebody with an extra large DMD?
I will enjoyed this video, but i have some doubts:Why did you use the Williams dimensions and why not make it a little shorter? Television screens are too short, and backbox too high for the monitor to make it look good. The speakerpanel is now too high, a normal dmd cutout would be 34,5cm by 9.5cm. And the panel it self would be 21cm high. Also you should never bolt the sides that way! You will never be able to apply artwork and not see the drill holes, even if you use filler and sand it forever! You should use wood from the inside and glue it and bolt it from the inside, that way there is no drillholes on the outside.
+TheTerracide Yeah this is just a fun project. I like the bolts. :)
Thanks for sharing!
No problem :)
How difficult was it to get the three screens working on the Pin Cab? and where should I look for information on setting that up?
Website no longer works
What kind of tape did you mask the backside of the acrylic for the top monitor with?
very nice job
Good budget too :) thank you
hi, great table! your bam settings for ac/dc look perfect. can you please share your settings with me? thanks!!
Hi guys! Really got inspired of this video and i am planning to build one too!
Checked the parts list and i am curious about the aluminium ledges. Where did
you use those in the video?
Thanks. We used the aluminium ledges as a frame for the glass.
Cheers
Olsen
Awesome video. About to have an attempt at this myself despite being terrible at DIY!
Question! How did you cut the holes for the DMD etc nice and straight?
+Andy Mason Hi Andy, thanks! The holes for the DMD was cut by the carpenter who cut us all the wood. Cheers Olsen
great job!!!
+Misael Aponte Thanks :)
What no one ever does is tell you how to set up the software. Getting it all to play together seamlessly so that anyone can walk up and just play whatever table? ooo that was hard. Getting the right back glasses and playfield videos and music demos to attract players? yeah that was hard. Getting tables that wouldn't glitch out? not so hard, but you have to be very choosy. Building my cabinet was the Easy part. No build videos, but the only bonus is that it has a flip top playfield with pneumatic struts so I can get to the guts easier. But don't let any of these "build your pinball cabinet" videos fool you: It's the software that can defeat you. Building the cabinet is the easy and fun part. Software? I love it. I like tinkering with settings. But it can be frustrating. GOod luck!
I'm in the planning stages for building my virtual pinball machine and I'm having a little problem as to the best way to go about accessing the front and back of the back box. I was going to use a piano hinge for access to the back to unscrew the TV, but I can't think of a logical way to access the front to remove the TV if need. I should note I want to have a glass in front of the TV, which is causing the access problems, any ideas?
Ausgezeichnet ! Prima ! Ich gratuliere Ihnen.
Dankeschön. :)
Great job , but the way you paint the plastic holders is awfull , you have to apply many fine coat, not empty the spray can on the same spot.
Good video!
+Diego Diaz Thanks :)
hello can you pass me the link with the plans the link is down thanks.
What is that tool attachment bit that you use to make the bigger holes when you're drilling for where the screws will go? Any help is much appreciated.
Look for coutersink drill bits
i'm unable to let this program run.... no tables run well and every time i use just errors and messages of incompatibility.... tossed in the waste.
hey
Would hear if you want to make a package of what you have
system and games
since I would like a copy of yours
that's some incredible nice work guys! From what part of germany are you?,i would love to see the pinball machine in real life, because i build arcade cabinet's my self and it is my dream to build a pinball cabinet.
again great work and thank you for uploading this video!
+Maurice Lenssen Thanks for the praise! We are from the north west of Germany. We don't have a place to show our projects yet but we are working on getting one. The plan is to build an open collection for people to check and test out our builds. More infos on that soon.
Thanks
Marc and Olsen
+Monster Tech Hi Marc and olsen thank you for your answer,i wil definitly come by when they can be viewed.
Very Cool!!
Thanks!
Very Nice Video!!! and its looks awesome. I was wondering how you got the aluminum side ledge onto the glass. what's the special tape or did you use like that locktight glue?
Thanks, for that we used some heavy duty double sided tape.
It is SO much easier ( and cheaper ) to buy an old ( not working ) pinball machine ! Srip it and fix it up ( if needed )
And hope the monitors fit...
