Also putting shelf liner material or other damping materials into the case to cut down on resonance.

On the BARREL. Putting it on the flipper will make flipper heavier, changing everything. Also it will unstick pretty quickly from all that vibration and you'll have lots of silicone beads inside your keyboardTechno Trousers wrote: ↑IIRC, we have the proven floss mod, DMA's dab of silicone on the flipper, and some unproven theories about possible barrel modifications.
I can't wait to build my Model MFs with CommonSense controllers. I could edit binary config files, but I'd prefer ASCII files.DMA wrote: CS is proven to be repeatable on $10 off the shelf protoboards, hostside utility still misses the macro editor (firmware has online-updatable macro support, but you need to manually edit binary config files to use it )

I know the floss mod, have been using it for a while now. Until the MF goes through, I'll have a go at the silicon mod on my M, though it might be a bit too much on those short flippers. I'll also get some felt to stuff the case, and maybe something for the barrel plate, we'll see. It'll be interesting to see just how damped we can get it.Techno Trousers wrote: ↑IIRC, we have the proven floss mod, DMA's dab of silicone on the flipper, and some unproven theories about possible barrel modifications.
Don't worry- it's already in the designs. Take a look at some of the renders on the first post of this thread: the pegs are all pointing out at the bottom a la XT.gianni wrote: ↑Sorry to say something at this stage, but would it be possible to make the plates compatible with xt barrels? Is the only difference in the position of the pin, which in AT is at 4 o' clock, while in xt is at 6? This could be interesting because xt replacements cost less.
It’s been a struggle on this end to be honest. Some ups and more downs. I really don’t want to go into too much detail, but I do wish I still had the emotional strength of a 6 year old (she’s a trooper).E TwentyNine wrote: ↑Monthly bump, awaiting exit from limbo, hope all is well LL.

Appreciate. Graphic designers we are not, but manage to bumble into some reasonable ideas along the way. Credit DT and Matt3o as original inspirationdepletedvespene wrote: ↑I like the "MF" initials.
Right now they are just a placeholder for cart testing (PayPal sandbox). We have ~30 items to eventually list as part of the storefront when life rights itself on this end. Several vintage boards, parts, and other inspirations that need new homes. All things outside of the original MF project. The hope is others can leverage as well. Again, it is essentially a PayPal collector for anyone that we trust to run buys or sell individual items82d28a wrote: ↑Are the stickers really for sale. I apologize if someone already asked.
Many of us are still waiting patiently for completion of phase one. I think any estimates about phase two will have to wait until then.xTek wrote: ↑@lot_wizard Could you drop a VERY ROUGH estimation date on Phase 2?
You don't have to be accurate, we won't take your word for it, I am just curious to when we could expect it to happen.
@lot_lizard: I've been away from the forums for a long time due to personal matters and work obligations. Just now checking in again. Still very interested in the F-SSK project if/when it resumes.

I really shouldn’t announce this yet, but we will be initiating the re-commencement of our buy a little more properly. We have a proper site to place orders going forward. The code is from the ground up, and will include some charts (our friends at JFreeCharts), etc... but the idea is to create a site where anyone can facilitate a proper group buy without any commission from us (each drop has a unique owner and PayPal collector). It’s 70% (no products or drops yet) there if anyone wanted to take a peek and provide feedback. The subscription bit is fully functional if you wanted to sign up. The concept is to be a DT partner (allowing you to apply your handle in the cart on checkout), and provide discounts based on validated membership levels if applicable. In our case, it will be extremely similar pricing to the original buy if you participated (I have the list )
