@apzpins@some.apz.fi yeah the main question that drove me here (besides the opacity and looks) was the impact resistance, given that I'm assuming they're gonna see quite a bit of abuse from those balls hitting them over and over again (what's the actuall weight of a pinball anyways? Never had one in my hand)

@DJGummikuh@mastodon.social I make functional playfield parts out of ASA and PA. ASA is good for mechanisms that get hit by the ball but not the printed part itself, PA seems to be fine for more direct hits. A pinball ball is 1 and 1/18" in diameter and weights 80 grams.
