Print out this automata kit to assemble your very own infinitely looping marble run!
This automata converts rotational energy into vertical energy that uses gravity to push marbles up! The entire model doesn't need supports and is very easy to print. It's been tested and developed with Bambu PLA Basic/Matte and Sunlu PLA+. The marbles used are 10mm ball bearings (the same as Hextraction). The profile also includes some marbles that you can print (already set to 100% infill for the marbles only).
Here's a render of how the automata kit is put together:
The cams (tear drop shaped parts) have an arrow to show which way you turn them to twist-and-lock them onto the main axle. The cams should alternate the direction the arrows on them are facing to match up with the render above. Take a look below:
Enjoy the automata and let me know if you have any ideas for new ones!
