We made our prototype with cardboard popsicle sticks and rubber bands. When we got our prototype to work we began measuring with the caliper and fabricating it on fusion 360. Sam found out a way to use a 3d printed fidget spinner and fashioned them to a couple washers. Then jordan finished with the top part of the blueprint.The floor part of the pinball machine will be made out of plywood and laser cut. (a Subtractive fabrication option) ⅔ components of the first version was ineffective. We were effectively printed the the pinball arm in one try! I always say don't fix it if it isn't broken but improvement is different even if something is good or works you can always improve.
