I got rev bases with Merlin figures made from him, top quality! There’s a good reason he is one of the top players in the US, and any hate towards 3D printing subbuteo is sadly because you dint think of it first. Yes, plastic goals are a cheaper alternative to 80$ extreme work goals that could turn off new players into getting into the game. I’ve been away from the game 15 years, and I’m glad to see advancements, cheers

Well done Paul, it's great to see you producing vid the last couple of months. I hope you do more mate. I've had a few chats with Paul Goad... truly a lovely guy. Yes, the future is definitely here.

Nice video, some interesting stuff there 👍

[@dancranflicks]

This made me want to design my own bases. 😆

Great video Paul! Couldn't agree more that 3D printing is the way of the future for this game and the way for us to keep it alive in the lives and memories of many. The only question is, how will 3D printing and FISTF homologation go hand in hand? Seems like FISTF needs to be more nimble or lax when it comes to approving or allowing for more types of bases to be used as more and more people start making their own.

Thanks Zach. With bases, the major concern - for fair play - would be size imho. Keep regulations simple, and using/creating measuring tools that can quickly assess materials.

[@peteralegi100]

New FISTF standards for equipment allowed in competitions will be announced soon. Regulation is important. Creativity and accessibility should be encouraged.

[@subbuteoman]

@@peteralegi100 Agreed! The new FISTF process has been over a year now. When $1000s are invested to make new products this has a big impact. There has not been a lot of play so players will not be impacted too much, for people who want to create new things, it has been difficult. I think a more efficient path would be to have equipment subject to official measurement at an event if requested by the organizer or a player. Bases, 21mm diameter, no more than 6mm high, height of figure and base meeting minimum, that only takes a minute, and we already have a handy tool to do that.

These goals and other stuff 3D printed are great. I have some classic goals from 90's. Great time I had with my brother and friends playing subbuteo. A couple of years ago I bought the new subbuteo box with some Premier league teams. By the way Paul in the video I can see a Portugal badge behind you. Are you from Portugal?

[@subbuteoman]

Thanks for the great comment Julio. I am not from Portugal, but got that from a player from Portugal :-)

[@SeventhPhoenix]

quality of plastic for competitive Subbuteo for bases is still not up there if you go 3d print them. maybe another 5 years time.

[@subbuteoman]

Mmm. Well I have won or finished in the top 4 of my last 7 events playing with 3d printed bases from TablesoccerUSA. Just luck I guess?

[@acejones1074]

Resin printed bases is a different ball game they play very very well I have a resin printer and love how the teams come out

[@nicolamariconda2583]

​@@acejones1074hello,i'm new to the print with resin,please,can i get some links or files to print?

[@SeventhPhoenix]

I dont like plastic netting at all, other components may be ok.

[@fotisrouvalis1637]

these goals are not subbuteo...classic subbuteo is dying!

[@chrispools]

Not one to diss other peoples hard wok but,,,,those goals are bloody awful. I make my own from 6mm wooden dowel and nets from subbbuteoworld
