Thank you for your input. The lighting was an experiment which I probably won't use again. It is difficult to see the lights when the room is bright and difficult to see the "mechanism" when the room is dark.
I hope you sell these to sustain the hobby. It is great to watch these videos. Maybe try clear filament, glow in the dark balls and some UV LED's next.
Yes, there is an art show in town (a resort town) that I'm planning on showing the 3 I've made recently. Wondering what I could get for them. I was considering the glow in dark filament. Need to source a led blacklight ribbon light though. I hadn't considered the glow in dark balls. Good call, ill go look now.
All set! UV ribbon light, day glow filament, and day glow glass marbles have been ordered. It'll be a good application for the marble pump I designed. Thanks for motivating me. Now i'll be busy for the next 4 months.
I love this and all your marble machines. I want to make my own, but don't know where to start. Are you willing to share or sell your files so that others can make the same thing? Otherwise I'd love to learn from you how to do this.
Hi @jeremit0, thank you for your compliment. I'll start working on the next marble machine in the fall. I'll be uploading the how to videos on youtube and provide the files in drop box. I was starting to use Thingiverse for providing files, but found it took a lot of time. My page name there is www.thingiverse.com/ebwpob53/designs
Very nice! your updates inspired me to try out a marble track of my own that i made using tinkercad. i havnt given fusion 360 a try yet, would you say it is easier to use?
Hey! thanks. That's awesome! Fusion 360 takes a while to learn but there are a lot of tutorials online. Start out small to get the hang of it. It's a million times more powerful than Tinkercad.
this is awesome! I subscribed :). you gotta let us know when the files are available!
This is amazing! I find the lighting to be gaudy and distracting. But the mechanism is genius. A real work of art.

Well done! The lighting is a nice touch too
Thank you!

It looks absolutely amazing. Are you going to release the parts? Thank you for your great work.
