How to make a speaker panel for your virtual pinball cabinet

Episode#9 Custom Virtual Pinball Cabinet Build

In this video I will be teaching you how to fix any oopsies you make during this project and how to take your rough cut pockets for your speaker panel and turn them into dead accurate cut outs for your dmd and speaker grills. I also show you the 3d printed speaker panel grills I will be using and the link for the 3d print file will be below. Lots of great stuff for anyone looking to make their very own custom virtual pinball cabinet from scratch!
