Description

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! Some items where ordered from Aliexpress & some modeling - and here we are with this cool STEEL BALL TRACK that MAGNETS to any steel surface!

Here how it looks at the end:


For this Project you will need:

 

1. 14mm Steel balls - I ordered 10 pieces

2. N35 Round Magnets - 6X4 size - I ordered 100 but consider order more (6mm diameter, 4mm thick)

* 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]


THIS MODEL IS: Launching Tube - to hold your steel balls & launch them to your track! The part can hold 2 balls & when you'll add 1 more - the first one will launch!

 

 

THERE ARE 10 PARTS IN THIS PROJECT:

 

[THIS MODEL] Launching Tube - to hold your steel balls & launch them to your track! The part can hold 2 balls & when you'll add 1 more - the first one will launch!

 

Propeller - a cool part that spins when steel ball passes it! You'll need a small pin or a office clip to pass throw this propeller & enter the holding part. Make sure that Propeller moves freely!

 

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)

 

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


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

Wave line - it's a set of wavy rails - helps to reduce the speed of the ball!

 

C-shape - it's a FULL 180 degree turn as a tube!

 

Half circle - it's a set of rails to make a half circle to front!

 

Spin - a right & left sided spins in a full tube! Suggested to print in transparent filament or resin.

 

Strait Tube - a tube that steel ball can pass throw! Suggested to print in transparent filament or Resin.

Good luck & have fun!
