some times ago I orderd a LEGO R2D2 keychain and found a little usb-stick fits into the r2d2.
Its a Lacie moskeyto USB-Flash Drive 8GB.
First I done some dremel work at the r2d2 and removed to original cover of the usb-stick.
Some hot glue and ready to go.
I found a nice Troll, fits into the MM Theme and put it on the left ramp.
With the help of some plastic it can connected to the left ramp.
The eyes where replaced with yellow/orange 3mm Leds for the Eye glow mod.
If you want a Troll including this eye led mod you can order it here:

or sent me an email to klaus@wolfsoft.de and I will take care of you order. Please sent me your complete adress for checking the shipping costs.
I done the two holes first with a 1,5mm drill, then with a 2,5mm.
After this I drill a hole from the back to the eyes the holes are like a Y.
Look here:
First Led
This helps me to get the two flex wires though the hole:
both Eyes replaced by leds

Preview without LED MOD
today I got the lasered plastics look here
I connected the feed with two screws and I don’t have trouble with airballs

Here you can see it in action:
Here you find a video:
I found Panther called simba for placing it in a Cirqus Voltaire Pinball. As there is one displayed on the playfield it fits to the main theme.

Here you can see how I add the green LEDs to the eyes.
I used a 2,5mm Drill and 3mm LEDs in green for the eye replacement. The installation is done solderless with the „croco“ connectors to the 28 bear playfield flasher with two 680 Ohm Resistors.
Drill 2,5 extra long into the
to get the cables out of the panther use a drill from downsite 8-9mm in diameter:
two green leds 3mm:
eyes pushed into the eye holes
connector to get the cables though the playfield without soldering
(the resistors are 680Ohm, because I saw too late it will not be connected not to a insert lamp. It will be connected to a flash-lamp)
first light up
dangerous in the dark…
with „croco“ connector to get it work at the flasher lamp
Here you can see it @ work:
I vectorized the outline of the plastics needed for connect simba to the playfield
Here is the new plastic with holes for the simba
connecting simba with two 2,5mm screws
the third leg is sitting on the plastic with the flash

After looking into the web for new figures out of the Knightworld, I found some Archer can be placed under the glass of my medieval Madness and make the same LED Mod at the arrowhead as weeks ago.
Some cutting, some drilling and wires
making a 5mm LED look like a arrowhead 😉
replaced the arrowhead
drilling for a hole through the plastics, wires, glue.
connectors for solderfree connecting
look here for pictures at the right place…
right one, without light
both together
I got the plastics to connect the archers

For MM I found only one custom Knightset with 4 knights.
I don’t like the faces covered with complete helmet, so I am in search for some other.
I found a King that looks similar to the king of the backglass. Next I will try the same in red…
a few weeks ago I saw the one year old project of a clock with leds.
http://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/156661#1479435
I done two for me one, with a black plexi and one with stainless steel.
After a lot of soldering and some woodwork…
Some weeks ago I saw a great dragon with two heads and my first thought it can work in MM…
Its time for ashes of the Dragon, now with two heads 😉
After some drilling and cutting I the hole is big enough to put it over the lamp of the original dragon.
Here a some pictures from the first work in progress state
After some finetuning with a dremel, the dragon fits perfectly including the lamp to the original place of the „old“ dragon
with flasher lamp on under the dragon
red flasher right down on
After getting this great mashine. I Think its time to make a diary about the mods, repairs I done to it.
here some pictures after receiving in August 2010
a) It works but the DMD is right down darker
b) The Eprom Version is 1.0 on ipdb I found a 1.09.
d) The Drawbridge is not 100% up. Its a little bit open in the up state.
d) The Decal
is not the best some scratches where painted with a edding..
Whats this?
e) The playflield
can this black parts removed

Today I got a replacement for the ringmaster. So its a good time to make the ringmaster look more realistic. So as I a great friend of LEDs I set up two 5mm blue leds behind the eyes.
I can take care of the modification for you in two ways.
a) You can sent me your ringmaster and I will add the two Leds for you
b) You can order a complete new ringmaster including this modifcation
Video:
Here you see some pictures how I done this mod.
First I removed some of the PCV holding the eye to get a closer look.
After some modifing a standard 5mm blue LED
Some shrinking tube to get the light only where it belongs
First testing with one led insite
both eyes light up
In the darkness
Now its time to remove the original ringmaster and have a deeper look to the Flasher.
I have to remove some part of the shrinking tube to solder the wires for the blue leds
I put some connector between, to make it easy to assemble/de assemble
I uses 330 Ohm for each blue 5mm LED and wired it this way
red wire from the Pinball is plus
blue wire is GND
The next step after making the replacement of the Archer in MM was to replace the the arrowhead of the archer.
Some cutting, some drilling and wires
making a 5mm LED look like a arrowhead 😉
color it red (at the next I will try some silver color…)
a hole for the wires through the plastics
place the archer to the right position
the right one
with light up red
both together

I done some little modifications on the archer.
The first version of the arrowhead was red, now I used some silver paint.
