thingiverse

If you’re a pinball streamer or thinking about streaming a Stern machine with an LCD display, there is a way to take the display’s output directly into your laptop for a clean feed out to your audience. All of that is well documented in this Buffalo Pinball article: https://buffalopinball.com/twitch/direct-capture-video-stern-pinball-machines-twitch-streaming/ The ‘mod’ here is simply an alternate (and much more flexible) way to mount the required PCB to the backplane in your machine’s backbox. <u>Items needed:</u> <ul> <li>3D printed board mount <li>(4) #4-40 x ¾” socket-head cap screw (equivalent to M3 x 20mm) <li>(4) #4 lockwashers <li>(4) #4 flatwashers <li>(4) #4-40 nuts <li>1.18″ (30mm) magnetic tape (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HS3GX74/) </ul> <u>Instructions:</u> <ul> <li>Install the bolts from the bottom of the mount (with a lockwasher under the head). Refer to the cut-section image to the left for reference. <li>Mount the board directly to the plastic of the mount, then hold in place with flatwashers and nuts (refer to photo to the left). <li>Cut a piece of magnetic tape to stick to the back of the mount. This will make it EASY to slide the board around to find a ‘comfortable’ spot on the backplane to make sure no cables are stretch too tightly. </ul>
