Streets won’t just stretch across a single level—they will weave through vertical layers, connecting every part from top to bottom. In NeoHexa Metropolis, your marbles navigate these futuristic pathways, experiencing an journey through a world of vertical streets and interwoven highways.

 

Two cutting-edge eddy wind turbines serve as innovative marble lifts, continuously cycling the marbles back up for endless movement. This seamless integration of urban design, sustainability, and kinetic energy makes NeoHexa Metropolis more than just a marble run—it’s an interactive cityscape that tells a compelling story of a greener, more connected future.

 

Step into the future with NeoHexa Metropolis, a breathtaking sci-fi marble run inspired by the cities of tomorrow!

Printing & Assembly Instructions

Ckeck the attached pdf for detailed instructions.

Printing Tips:

  • The streets require significant support structures. To make removal easier, I’ve slightly raised them above the plate. You can lower them if you want to save support material, but removal will be more difficult.
  • For a glossy finish, reduce the print speed of the outer walls significantly. (These settings are already included in my print profile.) I used Bambu Silk+ Filament for that.
