3d printing and reverse engineering for the win!
Small engine part is $50? Can't find/buy an outdated part?
No worries, just scan the part, draw it up in CAD, export it as a STL, and 3d print it out! Easy peasy and all done for .50 cents in plastic and wee bit of time.
Plus, I now have a new lesson to teach my automotive students!

![Virtual Pinball: How to set up a dudes cab, brain board, and button boards from Latelier Arnoz!
Episode#16 Big Budget Virtual Pinball Cabinet Tutorial Series!
In this episode, I show you how to mod pinball buttons from Marco Specialties to have chrome bezels/12V LED bulbs and how to set up and install Arnozs dude cab board, brain board, and button boards in your virtual pinball cabinet. I also show how to set up the dudes cab configurator program so you can set up your buttons, plunger, nudge, and calibration for the ultimate high end vpin build of your dreams. In true Way of the Wrench fashion, I will show you everything to get it all up and running including how to enter the buttons for vpx, future pinball, and pinup popper!
