Marble-Thingi-Run!

thingiverse

I loved seeing marble runs or any of those types of toys in store windows when I was a kid but I never owned one. I designed this (ongoing) set as a gift to my younger cousins this Christmas. I'll be updating the files and adding as I go. Enjoy! UPDATE: The new marbleRun-swirl works great and was a hit with my cousins! I just wish I could have printed more parts for them! Instructions I've printed these on my Afinia H-Series 3d printer with these settings: 0.25mm ResolutionLoose FillNormal Setting30 Degree support *The mill might have to be printed at a better resolution to be smoother so it turns more freely unless you're okay with filing/sanding it a little to get it to turn smoothly. I designed this to work within my printers capacity. I doubt it will fit to existing marble runs since I didn't use them as a guide. Uses 14mm marbles. List of parts so far: marbleRun-H - Marble slide. marbleRun-I - Height extender with the top positive and bottom negative. marbleRun-EndCatcher - Catches the marbles at the end. marbleHopper - Makes it easy to load lots of marbles! marbleRun-mill - Marbles go through and the mill turns! Attach one of the connectors to the side of the slide, put the mill in and then attach the other connector. marbleRun-flipper -Marbles go through and the flipper turns! marbleRun-2wayExtensions - 1 each of the Negative & Positive. Use this to extend the height, add a large gap, or create a custom piece. marbleRun-2wayExtensionNegative marbleRun-2wayExtensionPositive marbleRun-Swirl marbleRun-XLExtension - Extra Large extension that is the same height as the marbleRun-Swirl! marbleRun-Curve marbleRun-2waySplit - Splits the marbles in two directions. marbleRun-Funnel - Big funnel to have marbles hop into! marbleRUn-Chute - Can dispense marbles into the Funnel. I will .zip all the files after I am finished finalizing the files.
