It also fits the enclosure as hoped.

Head to the desk and major facepalm. I messed up the gears. Naturally it doesn't need the 4th one.

Okay. Nobody saw that. The extra gear went poof. Let's print this out again.

Had to to print the bracket and servo's gear, but the eyeballs will take a while to print, so I left them to be printed at high quality setting and material that isn't going to look too creepy.

Okay, that seems to work.

Let's turn the creep factor down couple of notches and make this proto look more like the real thing.

It doesn't actually look creepy at all .... uh, nevermind.

Okay, with the new limits configured after the gear ratio change it looks a bit more sane.

@Dozer This is one vid I'd love to own. It has pretty incredible sound system too, especially in the full sized version.

Electro-mechanical pinball machines' reset cycle is just way too entertaining in slow motion!#pinball #arcade #slowmo #slowmotion #electromechanical #mildlyinteresting

Helped a friend to haul his new pin purchase from Tampere. Nice weather and all, it was an easy drive. #pinball

@foone The 6 volt 9 volt batteries also have the polarities reversed, but it's not marked anywhere.

I'm still way too entertained by the design of this spray can. It's contact cleaner for stuff like relay contacts etc. But what's shown in the picture?#electronics #baddesign

A question. What's the most common maintenance I do at the arcade? You might think about some switch adjustments or something, but you'd be wrong.It's washing the playfield glasses and there's just SO. MUCH. WASHING. Dust in this old industrial building lands on the glasses when we're closed, but people also have the inexplicable need to land their paw prints right in the center of the glass. I burn through a lot of industrial glass cleaner in a year. How about some sponsorship, chemical companies?#pinball #arcade #cleaning

Looks like IFPA, the world #pinball umbrella organisation is in the middle of a shit storm. Long story short, after years of talking about inclusivity, anti-harassment and other values, turns out it was just talk.A tournament host harassed a #trans woman in a tournament, which according to IFPA's own policies should instantly void and null the whole tournament, plus ban the venue from organising tournaments.Looking at the time line, IFPA published a statement of support etc the next day, but at the same time the tournament was allowed to continue and its results weren't voided.I've seen crappy stuff like drunken men with grabby paws in the bad old days and with all the white washing that's been going on, I had hoped people would do better.There's a petition for voiding the tournament results on change.org. I don't know if it'll do any good, but should the tournament be void, it'll hurt the venue.Here's a link: https://www.change.org/p/remove-wpprs-from-obx-fall-flippers-failure-to-follow-ifpa-guidelines

Seeing a cat in deep sleep still weirds me out. He's the only one we've had that does so in my lap. The others have always woken up from the slightest of movement or sound, he's so out that even his ears stop moving when there's little sounds around and he's all floppy.#cats #catsofmastodon

@davidrevoy But hey, in the last panel you can at least wipe with an AI ad!
