Marble 6-way-switch - compatible with gravitrax

There are some “randomizing” 6-way switches available on 3D print platforms.
I've tried some of these and all were working in a way that at least one exit was almost never considered.

So I decided to design a non-randomizing 6-way switch which evenly distributes to all 6 exits.

You need some additional parts:

• 6 screws M3 10mm
  (stainless steel may not be magnetic enough - better use “standard" screws which are magnetic)
• 1 screw M3 16mm (or max. 25mm)
• 1 nut M3
• 1 neodym magnet diameter 10mm height 3mm
• 2-3 washers 
• CA glue to keep the magnet in place

⚠ Make sure to insert the 6 screws before attaching the ring with glue! ⚠

The print may need a few supports only ⇒ see attached images.

Use 2 or 3 washers on the inner screw - the inner part must move freely and always stop in one of the 6 locations which are defined by the magnet stopping close to a screw.
If your magnet is weak you may use the optional part GravitraxDistributor_V5-UnterlegescheibeMagnet.stl to get it closer to the screws.

Have fun!
