Pinball Plunger (for a virtual pinball machine)

Parts to make a pinball plunger for a virtual Pinball.

Video of it:

It makes a satisfying clank when assembled and installed.

Requires the purchase of 2-3 springs, a switch, and a 1/2inch rod.

In my build I used Qty 2 of 3" length springs with an approx 8 pound force rating. The Outer diameter of the springs is approx 0.7inch. One of the springs gets cut in half.

The switch is a "V7-2B17D8-048" which is overkill, but I had one lying around from a previous project.

The endcaps can be glued, and/or screwed in place. There are holes in the endcaps already, all you need to do is mark the rod, and drill a 1/16th ish hole for a screw.
