Astro - Marble Machine (motorized)

Description
Introducing Astro - a mesmerizing rocket-themed marble machine. Watch the marbles roll down rockets, turbine blades, and a series of tippers. Even more, you can motorize it with my motorized base design. Hope y'all enjoy!
The machine uses 8mm marbles (see Bill of Materials), but can be scaled up proportionally to use larger marbles. The TT motor is required to motorize the machine. I highly recommend gyroid infill, some parts of the geometry rely on it for cleaner printing.

Assembly:
Use about 10mm long sections 1.75 mm filament to hold the tippers in place. If the filament slides out, add a little glue (careful not to get any on the tipper). If the filament doesn't fit, drill out the hole on the marble machine a little. For reference on how to assemble this type of machine, check out the instructions for another machine of mine here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17wyNZYZzaNbnh2QX04n6kcNO8gikjMhOvbyKdgoBvgM/edit?usp=sharing
