3D Decorative Rock Nuts

3D Decorative Rock Nuts – Customize Your Pinball Machine’s Fasteners

Transform the visible nuts on your pinball machine into realistic rock formations with our 3D Decorative Rock Nuts. These miniature decorations recreate dark stones, jagged mineral formations and irregular rocks to add depth and realism to your playfield.

Thanks to their different heights, they blend naturally into a wide variety of themes: dinosaurs, volcanoes, mountains, caves, fantasy, adventures, pirates and science fiction. Furthermore, their sculpted textures and dark shades enhance the appearance of genuine miniature rock formations.

And for once, the nuts on your pinball machine can blend right into the scenery. Excellent news for fasteners that prefer to stay out of sight!

Four Rock Designs with Natural Shapes

This collection includes four heights of decorative rocks, featuring irregular silhouettes inspired by natural mineral formations.

• 7 mm (0.276″): Small, compact rock designed to discreetly conceal a fastener.
• 15 mm (0.591″): Low rock formation featuring several sculpted details.
• 25 mm (0.984″): Medium-height pointed rock formation.
• 36 mm (1.417″): Tall, slender rock formation, ideal for creating a more noticeable decorative feature.

The surfaces feature cracks, crevices and irregular sculpted textures. You can therefore combine several sizes to recreate a natural-looking rocky landscape rather than a series of identical fasteners.

Two American Thread Sizes: #6-32 and #8-32

Our Decorative Rock Nuts for pinball machines are available with two American thread sizes to accommodate different playfield fasteners.

• #6-32 UNC: Nominal diameter of approximately 3.51 mm, with 32 threads per inch.
• #8-32 UNC: Nominal diameter of approximately 4.17 mm, with 32 threads per inch.

Before ordering, check your machine’s thread size and the available clearance around the fastener. These two thread sizes are not interchangeable.

Important: This list provides aesthetic and thematic compatibility suggestions. Mechanical compatibility depends on the thread size, available height and selected mounting location on your machine.

3D Printing and Hand-Painted Craftsmanship

At Pinball Custom, we 3D print each decorative nut to order. We then carefully prepare and individually hand-paint every piece.

Different shades of charcoal gray and black highlight the cracks, crevices and mineral textures. Furthermore, subtle variations in the paintwork enhance the irregular appearance of the rocks.

Each piece therefore has its own subtle characteristics resulting from the handcrafted process.

Installing the Decorative Rock Nuts

These 3D decorative nuts for pinball machines screw onto compatible threaded posts on the playfield. They replace certain visible nuts while adding an extra decorative element.

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Preparation: Switch off your pinball machine, unplug it from the power supply, then remove the lockdown bar and playfield glass.
2. Identification: Check the fastener’s thread size: #6-32 or #8-32.
3. Measurement: Check the available height around the threaded post.
4. Removal: Carefully remove the existing nut, keeping any washers.
5. Positioning: Place the selected decorative rock onto the compatible fastener.
6. Installation: Gently screw it on by hand without applying excessive force to the pointed sections or sculpted details.
7. Inspection: Make sure the rock is stable and does not interfere with ball movement, ramps or moving components.
8. Finalization: Reinstall the playfield glass and lockdown bar before switching your machine back on.

Tip: These accessories are intended for compatible decorative fasteners. Do not replace a safety nut or critical mechanical fastener without checking its technical requirements.
