Description

Uses 16mm Marbles.

As i love mathematics, i wanted to make an entry to the marble run challenge that incorporated some mathematical principles.

One of the most well known mathematical construct is the Mobius Strip, a surface that has only one side.
You can create one easily with a strip of paper, turning one end by 180° and taping the ends together. This can also be done in a 3D modeling software very easily.

I modeled the Mobius Strip and added a simple track for a marble. The marble can just be pushed into the track as seen in the gif below.

This print is fairly difficult to get right and it takes quite some time. Please leave a comment if printing is too difficult, i can also split it into two parts, which should be easier to get good results with, but i would need to figure out some method of attaching the two ends.
