Hello Makers!

For a long time I was dreaming to make a marble track - but only one problem bothered me: IT TAKES TOO MANY PLACE!

So after some thinking - I found a perfect place for it: on my entrance DOOR!

For this Project you will need:

  1. STL files that I provide + instructions
  2. 14mm Steel balls - I ordered 10 pieces [link: https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExmLUMB]
  3. N35 Round Magnets - 6X4 size - I ordered 100 but consider order more (6mm diameter, 4mm thick) [link: https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ex2mCUR ]

4* Also you might want to order some bigger magnets - just to support from bottom side your "track parts that ball will hit hard" - will explain it later...
[something like that - link: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EzFOhaB ]

Here you have 5 separate parts that you can combine:

  1. Launch tube - the part that can hold 2 balls & when you'll add 1 more - the first one will launch!

 

2. Strait Rails - parts to create 10 cm + 15 cm lines (print them as much as you want if you want to get longer rails - just scale the part called "[Strait] Rail" from 100 mm to the needed size)

 

3. Propeller - a cool part that spins when steel ball passes it!

 

4. Tube Down - it's a tube that can move your ball downstairs. print 2 of them to make "C" shape for reverse!

 

5. ZigZag - this is a fun accessory for a track! the ball will make the zig-zag pass & get downstairs .

2. VOL.3 RESIN - 5 parts
