The Bucket Lift - Standard Marble Scale

prusaprinters

<p>I was curious to see how big this would have to get to work with normal sized toy marbles. Turns out it had to get quite a bit bigger! All parts have been split to fit on a MK3 print bed.</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/seesg3ldZ-U"></oembed></figure><h5> </h5><h5>Print Settings:</h5><p>All files were printed as thick and fast as I reliably could with the standard 0.4 nozzle on a Prusa MK3S. I used Prusament PETG with a layer height of 0.25mm and a print speed of 60-90mm/s. The only exception to this is Tripple Twister Top Part 2. This needs to be nice and smooth for the marbles to spin properly and I wouldn't use a layer height over 0.1mm even at this scale.</p><h5>BOM:</h5><ul><li>You will need a 3d printer, obviously. The files have been split to fit on a Prusa MK3 bed but anything similar or larger will work.</li><li>Filament. Lots of filament. About 1.5kg of each colour. I used PETG but PLA will be fine.</li><li>12v 15rpm motor - <a href="https://amzn.to/3CywUxV">https://amzn.to/3CywUxV</a></li><li>19mm latching button switch - <a href="https://amzn.to/3x5RhBK">https://amzn.to/3x5RhBK</a></li><li>You will also need a 12v PSU and matching connector along with appropriate wire to connect it all.</li><li>Time. This will take quite a while to print and assemble. Enjoy the process.</li></ul><p> </p>
