Portavasos en mi máquina de Virtual Pinball.
Ahora sí está terminada!
A cupholder on my Virtual Pinball machine.
Now it's finally finished!
A pesar de que este proyecto siempre tiene posibilidades de expansión y de mejoras esto era un agregado absolutamente necesario y que por parecer tonto es indispensable, sobretodo porque mejora la comodidad y la experiencia de juego.
Se trata de la instalación de portavasos en ambos lados de la máquina. En esta publicación quiero mostrar los simples pasos que hice para poder instalarlos.
Estos portavasos plegables los compré por Amazon y son diseñados para automóviles, sin embargo se pueden instalar en cualquier superficie y la maquina de pinball es perfecta pues es hecha en MDF por lo que es muy fácil de atornillar, son son muy prácticos, estéticos y fáciles de instalar.
Ciertamente cuando terminé la máquina pensé que ya estaba lista, pues se podía jugar perfectamente, sin ningún problema y es bastante divertido pero yo tenía esto de los porta vasos ya pensado pues en mi máquina de arcade ya las había puesto, la verdad es que va genial y es súper cómodo para jugar mientras se toma alguna bebida.
En la máquina de pinball no los había colocado por dejarlo de último y en par de ocasiones intenté jugar mientras tomaba una cerveza o un refresco y la verdad es que por las características de la máquina y su forma era muy incómodo pues no tenía donde colocar la bebida, tenía que ponerla en alguna mesa lejos de la máquina y se hace complicado, te distrae del juego el tener que interrumpir la experiencia para ir a buscar la bebida o tenerla en un sitio que se te puede olvidar o hasta ponerla en el mismo suelo es algo bastante incómodo. Así que hoy por fin después de un mes de trabajo decidí comprar este accesorio e instalarlo.
Although this project always has possibilities of expansion and improvements this was an absolutely necessary addition and that to seem silly is indispensable, especially because it improves the comfort and gaming experience.
This is the installation of cup holders on both sides of the machine.
Certainly when I finished the machine I thought it was ready, because you could play perfectly, without any problem and it is quite fun but I had already thought about the cup holders because in my arcade machine I had already put them, the truth is that it goes great and it is super comfortable to play while having a drink.
In the pinball machine I had not placed them by leaving it last and a couple of times I tried to play while having a beer or a soda and the truth is that by the characteristics of the machine and its shape was very uncomfortable because I had nowhere to put the drink, I had to put it on a table away from the machine and it is complicated, it distracts you from the game having to interrupt the experience to go get the drink or have it in a place that you can forget or even put it on the floor itself is something quite uncomfortable. So today finally after a month of work I decided to buy this accessory and install it.
In this post I want to show the simple steps I did to install them.
These folding cup holders I bought them through Amazon and they are designed for cars, however they can be installed on any surface and the pinball machine is perfect because it is made in MDF so it is very easy to screw, they are very practical, aesthetic and easy to install.
Basically I presented the cup holder unfolded where I wanted to fix it and then I drew with a marker the holes where the screws go once the holes were marked on the vinyl I was gradually drilling the hole with the same screw, once the four holes were already made and what was left was simply to present the cup holder again and tighten the four screws until it was fixed on the wood and once finished and you can see in the photos that any glass of juice soda beer can be placed comfortably while one is playing your favorite pinball or console game.
Now I can say that the machine is finished and is super comfortable and provides a super relaxed and fun bar experience.
