I am a KNEX ball machine builder and I got my inspiration from a lot of you guys out there so I wish I that I can get better at my projects every time I build a new one
Small 4.0 KNEX ball machine **NEW LIFT**
Another project that I thought I’d share with the channel! Life has been getting busy so there has been a delay on bigger projects. But I still have these tiny machines to share, hope you enjoy!

I started to procrastinate on my main project and made this as a side project, hope you like it!
Small 3.0 KNEX ball machine
มุมมอง 2.3Kปีที่แล้ว
With this ball machine I had gotten bored of my main build so I decided to work on some compact track work. This track work was quite a challenge with the tight turns and such, but it turned out into nice little rollercoaster runs!! Hope you like it.
Unfinished roller coaster

This is a coaster that I did not feel like finishing. The coaster itself didn’t have a lot of track time And led me to not theme it. (which I was planning on doing):( but I posted it for some extra content on my channel!

An update on my most recent ball machine being made. Has some new features that I am exited about. Hope you like it! 😁👍
Sunrise a knex ball machine
มุมมอง 2.6K3 ปีที่แล้ว
This was a long waited ball machine for me and I’m sure a lot of you also. I’m proud to present sunrise my latest ball machine. It is one of my biggest ball machines and I tried to make this one as piece friendly as possible with also making it look nice and be sturdy. Hope you all like it and I hope to be making a roller coaster here soon so stay tuned for that. Make sure to subscribe also to ...
Coming soon…

This is my version of the double elevator lift and it has a bottom automatic transmission. Hope you like it!
KNEX Horizontal infinity separator for KNEx ball machines
มุมมอง 6473 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a concept I have seen go around for a long time now and I have seen people get it almost perfect but there is the consistent aspect. I think I got that down, this separator works 100% so far. I hope you liked it and see you in the next vid 😁✌️
New Experimental KNEX roller coaster
มุมมอง 1.4K3 ปีที่แล้ว
This is my first successful attempt at this type of rollercoaster and I would really like for people to give advice in the comments so please do so and also look out for my next ball machine updates that might be coming out soon.
Small 2.0 a KNEX ball machine
มุมมอง 1.4K3 ปีที่แล้ว
This is the second version of a series of ball machines that I have when I have extra prices from a ball machine. This ball machine has a 100% consistency (that I have seen). Hope you like it and sub if you want 😁👍
2020 KNEX Christmas tree (read desc)

So this year I worked on the outside structure and the mechanism broke when I was filming. so I showed what the ball goes through. Next year I hope to have a better ball machine mechanism inside the tree.

Love this one! That little platform lift is very cool.
Thank you!
do you think you could post an instrucatble on how to biuld this masterpeice?
Building this tiny is very impressive. I don’t think I could’ve achieved the epic smallness of that loop.
Good one! need to start working on mine again.
its so cute 🥰
cool
This is pretty cool! I really like the window and how you made sure to pack it full of parts. Makes me want to build another ball machine.
Thank you! Go for it, we need more ball machines these days!!
I have a pretty neat idea for one but I’m not sure if I could bring it to life. I’d totally love to build a volcano that literally erupts balls out the top of it. They’d hit completely random elements on their way down to the return track
Where'd you get the idea for the separator? What it from Instructables?
Yes it was from instructables
Just by looking at it, I could smell the k'nex.
Nifty
This is awesome! I really like the small details you put into it such as the different colored panels under the fuel arm lift. Both paths are fun to watch as well.
Thank you!!
This is awesome! Great build
This is so cool!
This is awesome! Very fun to watch and very compact
I like how in your machines, the balls make a “clunk” sound instead of a “click” sound when traversing the machine. Just shows how dense and sturdy your builds are. Also the epicness in the background just being like: “Pay me no mind. Look at this little guy!”
I didn’t realize the sound difference 😂, yes keep waiting 🫣
Adorable! Really nice build. I love the racing element created by the dual lift, and how both paths seem to take almost the exact same time.
Thank you so much, glad to hear from someone of your skill!!
Not every ball machine needs to be massive. :)
Exactly!
Thats pretty neat
I’d like to know how you made the auto reversing gearbox for the elevator. I’ve been trying for months, and there’s not much content on them.
It’s a modified version of an old reverse gearbox that I made awhile ago. I have a video on that one and you can modify that mechanism to the shape of your machine if you would like! (That’s what I did with this one). Hope that helps :)
@@knexmaker1357 OMG, Yes! That helps a lot! In fact, that is the exact one that inspired me to try to create an auto reverse mechanism. I copied the first few gears, but instead of a weighted wheel, I made a compliant mechanism to handle holding each direction. I’ll try re-creating yours exactly, to really get a feel and understanding of how each works. (I really hope my version works, because it’s less than half the size/parts, and works mounted in any way (not gravity dependent.) (yes I will make a video if it works!)
oooh, ir eally like the hybrid tunnel
Can you do a instructions on how to make the mini half pipes element?
oh dang this is sweet
I try to always be careful when taking apart balls and try to do it as infrequently as possible because I have found the little pegs can sometimes break and I have had several ball halves become unusable due to broken pegs. So always be careful is what I've learned. I think Austin Granger (Austron) has found a glue that he likes to glue the halves together
What is the big curved piece at 5:10? Surely it can't be a standard flexi-rod, because it seems to be rigidly fixed in its curved position. Is it a newer piece? What sets does it come in?
Oh yeah! I got it from a KNEX lot off of eBay, but I think it comes in roller coaster sets to make the loops.
I love this machine especially the KM logo at the end and the overall compactness and density. It fits a lot of elements and stuff in a small space and the manual switch for the elevator is neat too.
Magnificent!
Wow! I order from you all the time 😂
@@knexmaker1357 Thank you a ton for your support!!! I’m always trying to source more parts to help you builders out there!
@@mnwebsource2286Haha I order from you too!! I bet you recognize the name Nathan from the many orders I've placed in the past haha.
I randomly searched elements of my childhood and im glad to see the art of knew ball machines is still alive and well. I've done this and searched knew in 10 plus years
Nice!!!
How do you use the micro spine like that. I always find the connectors snapping off if i curve the track
Put the connectors on the track then apply the rods. That’s how I do it
What failed
I made something like this for my machine a while back but it occasionally skipped paths, this one looks a lot nicer.
Yeah I’ve seen a lot of people attempt this separator but I wanted to make a consistent one. I give credit to all the people who made one because it is a fantastic idea!!
CAN U PLS MAKE AN INSTRUCTABLE FOR THESE ELEMENTS
I’m planning too!!
Yeah, I'd love to see instructions for the hybrid tunnel, that really narrow funnel around 8:00, and the team tracks.
Nice one!
Thanks!
I fail every Knex coaster I make
WOW! That's impressive and the video is well done too. 👏
Thank you!
Awesome!
Thank you!
The filming is extremely clean, and your machine is awesome ^^
Thank you so much!
you're welcome ^^
Oh you finally finished it :D
After a long time 😅
Es gefällt mir!
Translate pls
No
Wow. I really liked the arm at 5:56 and the tunnel at 6:56
Thanks! those were fun to make!
Aww Yis! Popcorn time awaits
🍿
This looks epic! :)
Yes it does!
wooow thats incredible
Thanks!
Sehr gut!
Beautiful
I've been looking for a separator that works consistently. I just finished building this and I'm amazed at how well it works. Thanks for your hard work and for sharing.
👍 no problem man!
Awesome :D My favorite paths are 12 and 13
Thanks! Yeah those are cool paths
Ahh. Geometrically and aesthetically pleasing. Hyped for what's to come 👍
Thanks!
Nise one!
Thanks!
this is gonna be an incredible build
Yes it will be!
This looks amazingly well polished even at this early stage. I would love to see more details about how that elevator works.
Thanks! Idk it’s pretty complicated
