vpuniverse.com and some other resources appear to be down or inaccessible. Am I too late to the party?

Love the sound of this project, it sounds like something right up my alley! Are there laser cut files, or cad drawings of the panel required to mount all the parts on?

What machine are you putting it in? Can't wait to see the finished resultNo I do not have a file. I got my panels from the guy I got the pcbs from. Just mounting the panel today
Edit: N/M, ST Pro. Lol
Where did you order the displays from?

Digging up an old thread. I also just got my first pin2dmd display up and running last night. Here's a partlist and ordering link info based on one roar posted in this thread: http://www.pinballrevolution.com/threads/pin2dmd-rgb-dmd-color-display.8428/

It's got a parts cost breakdown with parts from Digikey compared to buying parts from ebay as well as a comparison to putting in an EVO board order from pcbway or somewhere based on a quote for 5pcs I got guessing to scale it up to 10pcs.
Info on the DIY route of making one is a little scattered so I this would be useful to some. There are two shield pcb designs, the one from lucky01 on github which uses the waveshare sd card adapter or another designed by MikePinball with smd card solder spots if you're comfortable soldering smd parts that will save a couple of bucks. As for the frame, I used a 3d printed one I had made at the University print shop that is pretty good. Still waiting on a few more I had laser cut at the College in town that should be a little sturdier and/or professional looking.

Did you ever install the larger one on a game as a topper? Thanks.
