Here is mine..  Let's see yours!

 

 

It's pretty basic and needs a bit of work yet, but it does the trick.

I got those used bent up legs cheap cheap.

I'm using a KL25Z for analog nudge, and I plan on putting in a real tilt bob very soon.

Leaf switches for the flippers.

I don't have anything setup for DOF yet.

I want to add a center button on the lockbar for the newer Sterns.

I'm not sure if I'm going to add a real plunger or just keep the button.

 

I'm hoping that in the future, I can install a dedicated PC directly into the cabinet, and just have a power and Rift-S wire coming out.   Fully portable.

I thought they ran a clean site here. 

 

Ok here are my stubbys. This is why I don't have a cab... I can't reach the flipper buttons.

Proud owner of a stubby here as well:

Full DOF using real pin mechs. The flippers, slings, bumpers all work under the glass.

dude, put a rubber tip on that plunger or you'll damage your balls!

Is this new? Are you playing in VR?

nudging - set up with real tilt bob

Nice stubby Bord!

 

@Outhere..   Thanks.   Yeah, I have nudge all setup nicely, and ordering my real tilt bob soon.   I have it all properly setup in my other VP cab nicely with MJR's file (I feel this is the ONLY way to go).   Not sure if I'm going to go with the real plunger or not.

I wish. Real pinball won the basement space battle for real vs. virtual pinball so I built this 1/4 cab last year as a concession. I play on a pair of portrait 4k monitors and really enjoy it. Hopefully someday this will also be part of a VR setup but not anytime soon, I'm afraid.

Beautiful stubby, Bord. Wow. Your Pinbot (FSS version from Arconovum) was my first VPVR pin experience. Sincerely hope you have a chance to experience your work in VR in near future. You won’t believe your eyes! Your attention to detail is truly remarkable.

Pinball is not pinball without a real plunger. Just my opinion.
@bord What are your system specs?

[bord]

AMD RYZEN 7 2700X 8-Core 3.7 GHz
32GB DDR4 RAM
RTX 2080

It's a nice system. I do freelance video work so a good setup is important (and a tax write-off). Doesn't hurt for making virtual pinball, either.

I'm poor and have no woodworking skills. My stubby is a tankstick on a pedestal with a plunger attached

Can you guys do nudging with these light cabs?

 

I'm debating doing a stubby this Spring/Summer but maybe design an attachable platform I can stand on to allow nudging. I also want the ability to attach my Alienware laptop. I do not want the PC dedicated just to pinball.

[bord]

Yeah, I can nudge w the Pinscape. Plenty heavy still and I adjust nudge sensitivity until it feels right.

I was considering doing the same thing..    Make like a plywood sheet to stand on, with the cab legs on springs or something.   I don't think this would work very well, because the cabinet would try to spring back every time you nudge it, and it wouldn't act very realistic.

 

On the other hand, my cabinet does slide a bit when nudging.  Sometimes I move it 6" or so, and then my real lockdown bar is no longer lined up with the VR one.   At this point, I can re-center with a button, or slide my cabinet back to where it should be.   I usually just wait until I drain, and then slowly move it back without tilting.  I am on laminate floor with metal leg levelers, so its fairly easy to slide back.

 

It is definitely an issue, but one that I have quickly become used to.    I really cant think of any other way to do it.

I feel like you have all seen my cab by now.  Mine is not very pretty but it has SFF with speakers on the cabinet facing the player and a buttkicker gamer 2 transducer for all of the SFF sounds. The force feedback works great for flippers, bumpers, solenoids, knockers, magna save and even the shaker motor force feedback.   I also have the removable analog plunger that can be hot swapped (even in game) with real Jurrasic Park, T2, Fishtales, The Shadow, Indiana Jones, launch ball or High speed 2 shifter buttons etc.  Hot swapping plungers / guns and buttons can be done in about 5 seconds or even less since they are held with magnets and the magnets even make all of the electrical connections including the 5V for lights on guns like Jurassic Park and launch ball buttons etc. 

I'm using dual contact leafs and It also has a real tiltbob.  I  disabled the tiltbob since the cab it too light and it was too easy to tilt. 

For the ROM audio, that comes out of some speakers on a shelf behind the PinSim or sometimes I have it coming out of the Valve Index headset speakers. 

 

On the inside I made a little button box that does all of the ROM functions as well as windows volume control and VR table height.  Since it is based off of the Pinsim design, it also has an arcade Joystick on top and the standard 6 buttons so it can be used as a pedestal mame cabinet as well. 

Functionality wise I think this thing is amazing, looks wise, it could use some help      

One day i'll build an updated one that looks as nice as it works. Ha!  The problem is you can't see it anyway while in VR so its hard to be motivated to mess with it.

OMG No! 

 

Don't do that!    

[waynewhitney]

I notice that there are only pictures of 2 cabs. Is everybody else having the same trouble I am uploading a photo here? It keeps saying I'm out of room?

I use Imgur, and then post the link in here with the image button and copy the link.  I would like to see some more stubby's!
