since I needed to repair a lot of these, remaking them was easier... I know others did do the same, but the shipping and tax to import these boards into europe makes them very expensive.

Hi Everyone Eden here from sunny Manchester in the UK. I've been playing fruit machines since I can remember. I'm looking to re live my youth and starting using MFME to re play some of the retro slots that I love whilst I'm not able to get to a local arcade to play them. I remember when my dad used to take me to a local working men's club and there was a £1000 jackpot club machine, I can't remember what the machine was called, but everyone used to queue to play this and even had a waitlist so people could not hog the machine all night to play it, this was in the late 1990s. Great memories.

£200 seems alot for 3D printing. Tinker CAD design software is free and really easy to use. If you are 50% PC able you should be able to do a 3D design easy enough (with tutorials) within a week or so. I recommend a go... so many people and companies have printers now its not specialist at all. I'd be surprised if someone wouldn't print your design out for £20 . Also a VAC former is easy to make for small mask sections. We have one at work using a cooker heating element to heat the plastic in a frame, when it's ready the frame flips over (pivot in the center) on to a box with a gauze and the mold sitting on. The box is sealed and connected to a hoover to create the vacuum.
