Ball Shooter Plunger adapter / fixation

thingiverse

This was needed on my virtual pinball build, because the original part from thing#: 3183407 didn't work out https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3183407 After I trimmed the whole part shorter to fit, the C/E clip wouldn't fit for me to install it, and there would still be significant friction preventing the plunger from actuating freely. The original also didn't quite fit the hole pattern from my Williams Bally shooter, I had to ream out the holes a little bit for a nice fit. https://www.pinballlife.com/williamsbally-ball-shooter-housing.html I suspect this part combination is why I need to redesign the attached part. I got everything working, but I'm tempted to redesign an entirely new set of parts so they don't interfere with the ability to solder up the potentiometer, and keep everything away from the flipper buttons. Maybe in my next build I'll take that on.
