🌋 Volcano Island (Harvest Valley Expansion & Standalone Project)🌋

Prepare for an eruption of excitement with the Volcano Island Expansion for Harvest Valley! This thrilling addition transforms your peaceful farming world into an action-packed marble run adventure, merging strategy with creativity and a dash of volcanic drama.

At the heart of this expansion lies a magnificent volcano, featuring an embedded motor (powered by the BambuLab Marble Run Kit 003). The motor drives a spiral lift designed to mimic molten lava spewing from the volcano's peak when printed in fiery yellow filament. As marbles are transported to the summit, they reach a starting point for a fully customizable marble run track.

Getting Started:

This marble run is an excellent standalone project for beginners exploring Harvest Valley.

The package includes a Starting Plate (2x) set and tweezers. Additional single plates, decorative elements or a storage system can be downloaded from the Harvest Valley: Project page to enhance your setup after assembling the marble tracks.

What’s next?
Begin with the Volcano—print and assemble its components first (PDF instructions attached below). Then, continue by printing all the plates related to Volcano Island and gradually build your marble run.

🚀 Customize Your Track!
Unleash your imagination with a versatile track-building system. Use the included components to design an intricate network of lanes and support structures, all seamlessly integrated with the hexagon map tiles from Harvest Valley. Base track pieces include:

• Straight sections
• Straight down pieces
• Left/Right turns
• Downward left/right turns

Each turn aligns perfectly with the 60-degree angles of the hexagonal tiles, ensuring that the marble run harmonizes beautifully with your Harvest Valley setup. What’s more, each dock for the track components doubles as a holder for Harvest Valley objects, letting you combine farming aesthetics with your marble run masterpiece.

🌟 Take the Fun to New Heights
Elevate your design with long-range rails (20–110 mm) that clip seamlessly into track components, enabling extended runs and jaw-dropping layouts. Add elevation chips to fine-tune the height of your tracks in precise 0.33 cm steps, giving you complete control over the tilt and flow of your marbles.

🎢 The Challenge
Your mission is to create a track that guides marbles back to the volcano’s base, where they can loop through the spiral lift and start the run again. Careful planning is key—find the perfect tilt to keep the marble moving smoothly without flying off the track or getting stuck.

🔥 Special Features:

• Hard turn elements for tricky maneuvers.
• A 360-degree jump point to add flair and excitement.
• Endless possibilities for creative and challenging designs!

Volcano Island isn’t just an expansion; it’s an engineering challenge, a showcase of creativity, and an exhilarating addition to your Harvest Valley universe. Bring your farming game to life with this dynamic expansion and watch your world erupt with fun! 🌋✨
