Marble Run 003 6-Ways Looping Addon v2

As promised, here is the next add-on for Marble Run 003 (https://makerworld.com/de/models/14265). This add-on has a looping with an emergency exit (in case a marble doesn't "loop the loop"...). As this is my sixth track, I have called it the 6-Ways Looping. It is compatible with the original Marble Run 003 model and with all my add-ons. However, two parts have to be replaced. This is logical, as otherwise no further track could be constructed.

As you probably know by now, I try to design my models with few supports. Unfortunately, this also means that more filament is often used for the necessary support structure when printing. Of course, you can deviate from the print profile and turn the parts into a position that requires less filament for the support structure. However, this will result in a lower quality. 

Back to this add-on:

Filament: I used PLA (matte)

Building plate: Cool plate.

Marbles: max. 14mm diameter. Tested with Marbles from Marble Run 003 components kit http://store.bambulab.com/products/marble-run-components-kit-003

There are two additional options in the print profile:

Option 1:

Metal marbles are often heavier than standard 14mm marbles and therefore have a higher looping speed. For these marbles there are optional parts 2 and 3 with a higher wall in the Print Profile (Plate 5 and 6). However, I was unable to test this as I don't have any metal marbles.

Option 2:

There is an optional “splitter” on plate 3. This can be used instead of the turnstile if there is a jam at the start. This can happen if more than 10 marbles are used.

Assembly:

The assembly is very simple and does not require any special instructions. However, I have included one as an attachment. 

Note:

• This addon contains small parts. Please make sure that children cannot swallow them.
