When I was a teenager, I was gifted a kit called SpaceRail where you assembled a rollercoaster for marbles. It consisted of metal rods and a roll of plastic wire that formed rails. I recently, remebered this and thought it might be interesting to 3D print it and use filament as the rails, so that the whole kit (minus the marbles) can be made at home!&nbsp;The FilaCoaster consists of several block types, connectors, and a board to assemble everything on. Everything is put together with 3D printed screws and threads; a screwdriver model is included in the set to help with assembly. The marble sizes supported are 14-17 mm marbles (the Bambu Lab Marble Run Kit comes with 14 mm marbles).<h3>Parts:</h3><ul><li>Blocks:<ul><li>Riser - PLA - These blocks screw together to create supports to hold the rails up</li><li>Rail Holder - PLA - These blocks go on top of a stack of Risers and hold the Angled Rail Connector</li><li>End - PLA - This block goes at the end to catch the marble</li></ul></li><li>Connectors:<ul><li>Angled Rail Connector - PETG - This attaches to the Rail Holder with a pressure fit and can be attached at an angle</li><li>Floating Rail Connector - PETG - These are attached intermittently between Angle Rail Connectors to keep the rail a consistent width</li></ul></li><li>Board Pieces:<ul><li>Board - PLA - This prints upside-down; use the Board Screws to attach Risers</li><li>Board Screws - PLA - These connect Risers to the Board</li><li>Screwdriver - PETG - This assists in screwing in the Board Screws</li><li>Rails - PETG Filament - Raw PETG filament is used for the Rails</li></ul></li></ul>Here's the parts labelled in the slicer:<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/495762/2024-02-04_77df06a680ca9.png"></figure>&nbsp;The parts connecting to the filament rails should be printed in PETG. PLA worked okay in my prototyping, however they broke very often when snapping in the filament while PETG allows for very easy assembly. If you must use PLA, I recommend a PLA+ or PLA Meta filament that is more flexible and stronger. The filament rail can also be raw PLA filament, but be warned it's harder to shape for the rollercoaster than PETG, and again, PLA+ or PLA Meta will be more workable than PLA.<h2>Build Instructions</h2>After printing all the parts, here's how you can assemble your custom FilaCoaster.<h3>Step 1:</h3><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:66.7%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/495762/2024-02-04_5e41e4602006d.jpg"></figure>Put a screw in the desired hole of the board, from underneath.<h3>Step 2:</h3><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:66.27%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/495762/2024-02-04_bba4c5adee18a.jpg"></figure>Hand screw or use the printed screwdriver to screw a Riser Block onto the Board.<h3>Step 3:</h3><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:65.96%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/495762/2024-02-04_ccdbe3018e07e.jpg"></figure>Attach more Risers to increase the height of the coaster support tower.Step 4:<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:65.54%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/495762/2024-02-04_f360750c77e57.jpg"></figure>When you're done stacking Risers, screw on a Rail Holder to the top of the tower. The whole support tower can be rotated to angle the Rail Holder however you'd like.Step 5:<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:65.7%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/495762/2024-02-04_67253de2deae6.jpg"></figure>To finish the support tower, press fit an Angled Rail Connector onto the Rail Holder. The Angled Rail Connector can be angled side to side to better fit your custom coaster path.&nbsp;Repeat these steps with shorter towers each time along your custom path. When the support towers are done, you can begin snapping in the filament onto the Angled Rail Connectors to create the rails. The filament rails can be snapped in by hand, but using simple pliers can make it much easier. Use the model image as a guide on how often to put Floating Rail Connectors along your track. Finally, screw in an End Block to the board at the end of your track and your FilaCoaster will be complete!&nbsp;For those with the Bambu Lab Marble Run Kit, I've also created a Spiral Lift machine that turns your rollercoaster into an endless ride!&nbsp;<h3><a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/171965#profileId-188789" rel="nofollow noopener">Check it out here: Spiral Lift</a></h3><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/495762/2024-02-04_7a739a097eac8.webp"></figure>&nbsp;

This Print Profile includes all the components you need to upgrade your AMS to use loose (silica gel) desiccant. And the additional Dry Pods allow the AMS to hold more desiccant, which will mean longer times between refreshes.&nbsp;This has been done before, in many different combinations, but I couldn&#39;t find one that met all my needs. I feel that this remix contains the best combination of AMS Dry Pod and Desiccant Containers that are currently available, and I added a Funnel to help load them with silica.  There are 3 parts included that can hold the hygrometer, only print one: 1) a Shallow Hole version with slots for the hygrometers with 30 degree tabs that can hold more desiccant, 2) a Shallow Hole version with slots for the hygrometers with vertical tabs that can hold more desiccant, and 3) a Thru Hole version with 30 degree slots for the hygrometer tabs, designed by FLAP_design, where the hole for the hygrometer goes all the way through the pod. This version holds desiccant in the Dry Pod, but it can generate a more accurate reading because it will be measuring the overall AMS humidity, rather than the humidity of the desiccant in the Dry Pod with the hygrometer, i.e., the readout is less likely to be be distorted by the silica close to the reader.&nbsp;Just drag your preferred option onto the build plate.  The Round Hygrometer can be found here: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.ca/Hygrometer-Thermometer-Humidifiers-Dehumidifiers-Greenhouse/dp/B07BLQMR97" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.amazon.ca/Hygrometer-Thermometer-Humidifiers-Dehumidifiers-Greenhouse/dp/B07BLQMR97</a>&nbsp;The Desiccant Containers can be loaded with generic desiccant and dropped into the slots in the back of the AMS. The top of the Desiccant Containers is split into two parts. The lower part should be glued on, and the upper snapped in after desiccant is added. They are easy to remove and replace the desiccant in.&nbsp;I used this desiccant: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QRRHJV3" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QRRHJV3</a>&nbsp;To refresh the desiccant; pour it into a glass tray, place in the microwave for 2 minutes. Let it cool, then pour it back into the Dry Boxes. DO NOT put the Dry Boxes in the microwave! The desiccant gets VERY hot and will melt the Dry Boxes.&nbsp;Note that the Dry Pods will also work with the Hydra spool tray.Or if you are using the factory Bambu AMS spool tray then after inserting the Desiccant Containers, the original AMS dessicant covers can be snapped on top of them.&nbsp;With fresh desiccant, the humidity was down to 10% after a couple of hours, and it has stayed there for over 2 months now.&nbsp;24/4/7Added Pod for round hygrometers with vertical tabs.&nbsp;24/06/13V3.3 version adds an extension to the Funnel that allows it to cover Wide Dry Pods so desiccant is not lost when filling them. The same Funnel works also with Narrow Dry Pods.&nbsp;
