Motorized Cap for Tulio's Marble Machine #3 by simonaruiz

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This thing is intended to replace the cap pieces of Tulio's "The 3D Printed Marble Machine #3" in order to allow me to attach a VEX robotics motor to run it.
It just seemed like it needed done.

Smaller Spiral
The included smaller spiral section was necessary because the spheres I'm using are slightly too large. This piece allows the blue marbles which I used to travel up the center of the machine. It seems to work okay, though not perfectly, for spheres of around 10-10.2mm in diameter.
I would have scaled the entire machine up if I'd acquired the marbles before printing, but I'd already printed the track by the time I realized my marbles were inconsistently sized and too large and I didn't want to print a whole new one.
