Rush pinball scoop protector one-part

TL;DR version: a reupload of a model that dissapeared from Thingiverse.  I have not yet tried printing this myself but you'll want to use TPU and supports.

Details

The Rush pinball machine produced by Stern originally came with metal scoop playfield protectors that would quickly get banged up and/or broken.  Stern did release a couple upgrades for the protectors although I have not tried those.  Feelings on the upgrades in the pinside.com Rush owner's thread are mixed.  An original excellent solution was a TPU printed part designed and sold by NinjaCamp.  Possibly designed by OutpostKodeila.  Unfortunately late in 2024 the NinjaCamp closed the shop on Pinside and the ability to purchase this protector was gone.

There is a two-part protector currently available on Thingiverse designed by 2monte but people have still been looking for a one-piece model.  In my experience the two part model may be the better option as I witness the lower scoop entrance taking more damage than the side scoop, so only replacing the damaged scoop section would be more efficient.  Regardless, Pinside user Gunner007 spotted and pointed out in the Pinside forums that this one-piece model showed up in the yeggi.com 3D model search but went to a dead Thingiverse link.  After some internet sleuthing I was able find the model retained at archive.org.

This is a straight reupload of the model I downloaded from this archive link:

I have not made any changes to the model.  I have not yet tried printing the model although I know TPU will be the material of choice and supports will be needed for the tabs that tuck under the playfield.  I know this has very thin base (top when installed) and walls so you're going to want to make sure you have your printer setup well dialed in and I imagine use a build plate that will allow for easy release without tearing.  I'm not sure offhand how close this is to the great model that NinjaCamp used to produce and there may be room for improvement.  I have applied the same CC 4.0 Attribution license that archive.org reports 2112hsur had on their model.  I personally would have removed the commercial use option but I am honoring what I'm told was there previously.  This is not my design and I have made no changes so I am not including my usual option to “say thanks with a beer” contribution link.  If I opt to make a remix of this in the future I'll probably approach the license and option to financially contribute differently.

Since I have not tried printing this myself if you make a build I encourage you to contribute in the Makes & Comments tab so the community can learn what does or does not help this to print.  I'll try and incorporate any feedback into future revisions of this description.  The fact that I have not yet printed this is also why the photo required by Printables to publish a model is simply a screenshot of a rendering from my draft preview.
