Roller coaster for a marble run
Print Profile(1)

Description
The track is somewhat lightweight.
If the ball is too fast, it may lift from the base plate.
Adding one or two plates beside the roller coaster significantly enhances stability.
A model with tree supports is available on Thingiverse.
The entire assembly is rather lightweight (consider increasing infill during printing).
If the ball's velocity is excessive, it might dislodge from the base plate.
Positioning one or two standard plates adjacent to the coaster will stabilize it.
On Thingiverse you will find a model incorporating tree supports.
