Bringing Retrogaming into the Future: The Lenovo Y700 and similar tablet dimension Digital Pinball Cabinet

 

Calling all Pinball enthusiasts! I am excited to present my latest creation: a custom-built cabinet designed to transform the Lenovo Legion Y700 and other similar tablet dimension into the ultimate digital pinball experience.

 

The design isn't just about aesthetics; it focuses on maximum realism and device care:

 

Perfect Geometry: A precise 6.5° inclination, mirroring the slope of real pinball machines for an authentic gameplay feel.

 

Hardware Ready: Pre-drilled for arcade buttons (15.6mm screw diameter) and features a functional coin slot with internal partitions to funnel coins to a retrieval point under the base.

 

Thermal Management: Integrated support for a 50x50x10 (5V USB) fan and a perforated base to ensure the tablet processor stays cool even during the most intense high-score runs.

 

Protection & Style: The tablet sits on a custom 3D-printed TPU mat to prevent scratches, while the tablet base is printed in metallic silver for a sleek, industrial look.
Integrated Coin Mech: Features a silver-colored coin support secured with M3x12 screws. The internal structure uses two baffles to direct coins toward a bottom opening for easy retrieval.

 

High Customization: The backbox features slots for interchangeable cardstock graphics (L:145mmxH99mm) to recreate that vintage pinball vibe, plus dedicated space for a USB LED light and an internal or external power bank. You can create cardstocks graphics that you want!


Smart Wiring: Includes dedicated cable routing holes for USB connections, ensuring a clean setup without tangled wires.

 

Happy flipping to everyone!
