cardboard has it's uses, very few

Ok, so I'm finding out that cardboard is really flimsy.  You can make a wall, but if the angle is fairly critical, good luck getting it to keep it's shape for repeatable results.  As for the loop-da-loop ramp, it's really becoming futile.  This has nothing to do with "lining up my shots", no pinball simulator is going to help me because everything is rigid in a simulator.  I really need to start fabricating certain things in real material, whether that be metal strips, round rails, or 3d printing rigid structures (like loop-da-loop ramps).  I really need to take a step back and figure out how I want to continue prototyping my layout and still have the ability to move things around as needed.
