This tile is similar to Flip-Flop Tile, but instead of redirecting balls it blocks one of the paths. It may provide interesting strategic moves - one ball can open the path for previously blocked balls. You may use a M3x8 or M3x10 screw just like with Flip-Flop tile, but 3D printable pin (also compatible with Flip-Flop and Dispenser Tiles) works well too and is more aesthetic, in my opinion - just make sure the flipper moves freely and secure the pin with a drop of glue from the bottom.

M3x8mm + washer was too short for me, I didn't have 10mm screws, but a M3x12mm barely perfectly fits. Works smoothly, love that tile!
I have found a potential issue with this tile at least on an expanded board where ball velocity can be a bit higher. The bump the screw is recessed in often acts as a ramp so the ball flies off the board instead of falling in the hole.
Might tinker with making a lower profile version
I love this tile! Definitely one of my favorites.
This is an amazing tile. I tested out gameplay and it plays kind of like a reservoir and I love the effects it can have! Overall fantastic design.

For some reason thangs won't let me reply to your comment, but thanks! I'll get to printing both this tile and the normal ones!
