INTRODUCTION

This is another expansion set for my Minecraft-inspired building blocks / base & diorama builder. This most recent expansion further shows the versatility of the design as base for a marble run featuring Steve and various mobs riding in mine carts! Pretty unique I should say as I'm yet to find an actual Minecraft-themed toy that combines building blocks and marble run in one that provides hours of interactive play!

FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE

The straight and corner tracks/ramps are the same size as the blocks and tiles of the Minecraft-inspired building blocks / base & diorama builder. You can re-use any blocks you already printed but I recommend printing the new pillar supports from print profile provided for better stability.

The tracks can be re-arranged and customized as long as it starts and ends in the elevator/lifter. See the assembly manual on how to create track arrangements on your own. After assembling the tracks, go ahead and customize the look by printing blocks from the Minecraft-inspired building blocks / base & diorama builder.

ADDITIONAL HARDWARE

This marble run uses 10mm steel balls for the mine carts and a TT motor to power the elevator/lifter to work. You can purchase these hardware from the Bambu Lab online store by clicking on the links below in the Bill of Materials section.

This minecart marble run is compatible with the official BL Marble Run 003 kit. You can use the motor and plastic marbles that came with the kit on the tracks but the marbles will not fit the minecarts. Below is a video showing that the marbles from BL Marble Run 003 roll and fit this minecart marble run.

PRINTING AND ASSEMBLY

IMPORTANT NOTE: Elephant's foot (first layer too squished into the build plate) may cause the blocks to be tight. DO NOT REMOVE assembled blocks right away. Wait at least a day and due to material creep, the blocks will get loose over time.

Print all parts as oriented in the print profile. Glue will be needed to assemble some of the parts and are indicated in the Assembly Guide.

FILAMENTS USED

minecart: Bambu Lab PLA Basic Silver (10102)
grass, ramps, tree/leaf block: Bambu Lab PLA Basic Mistletoe Green (10502)

So, nach gefühlt unendlichen Druckstunden bin ich fertig. Alles in allem ein beeindruckender Druck. Allein das Dekorieren mit meinem Sohn zusammen hat uns viel Freude und schöne Abende bereitet 😀 Der Lift und die Bahn funktionieren sehr gut, hier und da verhakt sich eine Lore - ist aber nicht schlimm. Die Passgenauigkeit ist extrem vom Filament abhängig, braun war gruselig. Der Rest war super, daher am besten vorher immer das Filament gut Kalibrieren. Vieöen Dank für dieses beeindruckende Teil!

Vielen Dank für die Hingabe, mit der Sie den Druck fertiggestellt haben! Ich fühle mich geehrt und freue mich zu hören, dass Sie mit Ihrem Sohn Spaß beim Zusammenbauen hatten! Ich stimme zu, dass der Wagen manchmal hängen bleiben kann, aber ein wenig Schleifen/Glätten der störenden Kanten hilft viel. Ich stimme auch in Bezug auf die Filamentkalibrierung zu und kann nicht genug betonen, wie wichtig sie ist, insbesondere bei der Passung der Teile. Ich bin wirklich beeindruckt von den Anpassungen, die Sie vorgenommen haben. Ich finde, dass Sie sogar bessere Arbeit geleistet haben als ich! lol ... und ich liebe, was Sie getan haben, indem Sie der Spinne einen Faden/ein Netz hinzugefügt haben. Es ist brillant! English: Thank you for the dedication completing the print! I feel honored and happy to hear that you had fun with your son putting this together! I agree the cart could get caught sometimes but a little sanding/smoothing on the offending edges goes a long way. I also agree about filament calibration and can't stress it enough how important it is especially with the fitment of parts. I'm really impressed with the customizations you did. I feel that you even did a better job than mine! lol ...and I love what you did adding a string/web to the spider. It's brilliant!

Vielen Dank für Ihre netten Worte! Ich kann Ihnen nur danken für dieses tolle Projekt. Sie haben wirklich viele Arbeitsstunden in die Erstellung und Konstruktion gesteckt, auch das Sie die fehlerhaften Platten direkt neu hochgeladen haben - Danke! PS: Der Faben der Spinne ist lediglich eine Poop-Line des Druckers. diesen habe ich am Hinterteil der Spinne und am Baum nur eingeklemmt. Das hält sehr gut, sollte er mal reißen bekommt man immer wieder einen neuen, sobald man etwas weißes druckt 😀

@djcproductions

do the heads' supports come off clean or are they supposed to have that zigzag support stuff on the back of the heads? can't for the life of me get it to come off clean. I used your default profile. Any tips welcome

The designer has replied

@chiz_m

You are good. That's how it's suppose to look like :) I placed the face up to minimize color changes

@djcproductions

Replying to @chiz_m :

Hmm. that might drive me insane, haha. Thank you for getting back to me though so at least I know I wasn't printing it wrong or anything

Crazy piece! I'd really love to know how much work went into it. 🤯 Congrats on first place, you really deserved it! 👍😃

The designer has replied

@chiz_m

Thanks for the kind words! The trial and error took me like 2 full weekends and then been printing the parts during the weekdays and kind of it's photo finish lol Submitted with a day or 2 remaining in the contest. It was tweaking the minecart (earlier version would not roll properly and/or topple) and getting the proper height of the lifter wheel that required the most iterations, then finding the most optimal drop angle for the ramps. Lots of wasted filament during trial and error but I'm happy with the result! :)

Replying to @chiz_m :

That sounds like a real marathon! I can totally imagine how nerve-wracking that must have been, I know the feeling all too well! Constantly making small adjustments is what makes these projects both exciting and challenging. However, I haven’t dared to take on such a big project myself yet! respect 👍

@chiz_m

Replying to @Tommy3DLab :

Thank you! I almost gave up and stopped with just using plain marbles but I thought that it would take out the novelty of the design and it just feels incomplete without the mobs riding the carts. Having the carts is crucial to the back story. I'm glad I pursued and I got the carts working! :)

I have Problems with the qtr. couplers. They cant be stacked in other tiles. they dont even Look Like qtr.

The designer has replied

@chiz_m

Pls re-download the updated profile and reprint plate 26. it should have the correct qtr height couplers

Die Druckplatte der Quarter High Couplers ist Fehlerhaft, die Teile sind wenige mm nach unten durch die Druckplatte versetzt…

(Edited)

The designer has replied

@chiz_m

Ich versuche, das Problem mit Google Translate zu verstehen. Korrigieren Sie mich, wenn ich falsch liege … Wollen Sie damit sagen, dass die Viertelhochkupplungen kürzer oder länger sind? Ich versichere Ihnen, dass das Modell 4 mm dick ist. Möglicherweise müssen Sie Ihren Z-Offset erhöhen. Sehen Sie sich diesen Artikel im Forum an: https://forum.bambulab.com/t/z-offset-adjustment/6988

@EsCee

Exakt da liegt das Problem, der z-Offset passt bei dieser Platte nicht. Ich habe ihn manuell im Slicer angepasst und die Platte erneut gedruckt, so hat es funktioniert. Druckt man direkt vom Handy klappt das jedoch nicht da man vom Handy aus den Z-Offset nicht anpassen kann.

@chiz_m

Replying to @EsCee :

Ich verstehe. Das liegt daran, dass Sie in der App den Plattentyp, mit dem Sie drucken, nicht auswählen können. Aber ich hoffe, dass das Problem durch den Wechsel zum Slicer behoben wurde.

do you have a pic of how you did the wire setup? i am curious to see how you did yours. it looks neat and organized from what i can see in picture 7. Thank you!!

The designer has replied

@chiz_m

Oh it is just dangling in there. But perhaps I should make a block with hole to secure the wire a little. Thanks for the boost btw!

Replying to @chiz_m :

hey no problem!!! thanks for the great print! I ordered the motor and it comes with a usb plug, but yours looks like you may have spliced it with a standard plug?

@chiz_m

Replying to @dandoe :

Oh not at all. The BL TT motor in the BOM comes ready to go. You just need to add it to the platform and plug it in to any usb power bank. Looking forward to your completed print!

Replying to @chiz_m :

Is all printed! the only issue was Plate 26, the qtr high couplers are sunk into the bed so they printed way too small. I'm just re-printing this now.

(Edited)

@chiz_m

Replying to @joranvds :

Dude - you are right! Plate 26 has the couplers sunk too much. I'm so sorry. I was yesterday and was only able to check today. Nways, profile has been corrected. You can now re-print plate 26 but only that plate.

Mein fehler die hälfte der Blöcke waren in der druckplatte hab sie neu angeordnet und solte nun gehen .

@chiz_m

Replying to @manuelburger :

Ich hoffe, Sie haben das Profil mit der richtigen Platte 26 erneut heruntergeladen. Sie müssen nur diese Platte erneut ausdrucken. Viel Glück beim Zusammenbau. Geben Sie mir Bescheid, wenn beim Zusammenbau Probleme auftreten. Danke für die Unterstützung!
