You seemed to have succeeded where Martin Moline refused to go. The Archimedes screw. I knew this would work. A full test can only be done with thousands of marbles. This seems to be demonstrating only a few dozen marbles. GREAT Start for this point of development.
Agreed-I always thought the Archimedes lift would have been a likely/viable solution (as it’s commonly used in many industrial settings-so it’s already a proven design). Impressed that it was so quickly recognized here as a potential option-and quickly tested, and implemented!
Congratulations! So impressed seeing you being able to quickly assess problems, and knowing when to switch mechanisms/techniques and try a different approach It appears that you’re making the correct assessments AND correct decisions! And double-impressed that you’re doing this all with hand-crated parts
Great video! The machine is looking really nice, I'm looking forward to more. A small suggestion, in my opinion the transitions between different music tracks is a bit too frequent and rough. Some stronger fading from one track to the next would be nice. Regardless, amazing job!
Not just great improvements on the MMT, you also improved the editing. Great job, it was a pleasure to watch. And I think your english also improved. You're growing with the project. 👍
I'm more software engineering than mechanical engineering, so forgive my ignorance, but when a lot of marbles crowd the first screw, would they not fall into the other three? Keeping a certain flow of marbles per second just requires all 4 screws not be overloaded, I think, even if it's unbalanced. I feel like I'm misunderstanding this, though. Either way, you probably have a working design in the works already that will make this comment obsolete. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
I just had a Marble Lift idea for you!!! (For your consideration of course 🙂) What if the marble lift was filling from a "Pool" style collection rather than feeding the lift head on or channel by channel? If the marbles collect in a container, the screws can "dig them out"? Then, all inlets of the lift would have the same feed rate. After all, you totally inspired this idea from the original concept art of the screw to begin with... hahaha Great work on the machine! Love watching your progress!!
Currently I have to change the pins in the programming wheel by hand, but I plan to build two or more programming wheels and a system so they can be easily changed.
@@Diggnuts Shhhhh, even though it might not have come out to anything (yet) you can't deny that you were entertained by the videos which took effort to produce anyway If you donated think of it as a donation for video content if not for the machine itself
I tell you what.... I got more entertainment out of watching that series than I EVER got out of my Cable TV or ANY Streaming Services!! I donated. It was absolutely worth it! Sure, I'm sad that the project "evaporated".... but here we are, "X" time later, still talking about it... when was the last time "you" discussed a Cable TV show? Or a Streaming service show? How much do those cost p/month?? If I hD a mic, I'd drop it .... right here! Lololol :-) Have a Great day! Thanks for the conversation!
What happened to Vintergatan's MMX? I stopped watching around all test vids. Why did he give up, or what happened? Did he realize his build was too unrefined enginering wise?

Congratulations! I’m glad you finally found as method that works! Just like Martin says, Pain is temporary but glory is forever
Someone get this man a CNC machine :D
This is really cool!
I want to see the growth of this channel
LMAO someone finally went and built another marble machine before martin did T-T
He's not there yet. BUT this is a huge hurdle to get past.

Thanks a lot! ♥ I do my best.
This is what everybody recommended to Martin, but he insisted on the lift. Ah well.

This machine look's like the one of Wintergatan his channel LOL
really looking forward to seeing this playing more music in the future!
Heh, the marble machine claims another victim :D Love that build!
amazing! and almost 500 subs!
This lift mechanism looks like it could reliably lift marbles from a bucket full of marbles.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll think about it.
very nice work!
6:47 thats why a divide by 4 exist
Absolutely amazing video as always! Keep up your awesome work!
Thanks a lot!
Awesome!
4:39 😮Looks like you put a bolt through later in the video, did that help fix the gapping or was it just for stability?
Good eye! And yes it helped fix the gapping.
Are you thinking of adding cymbals?
Yes, there are already cymbals on the machine (crash, ride and hihat), I just need to connect them to the registrators and make some adjustments.
@@TKMUSIC_ Ooohh! I can't wait to see that in a video!
Just wondering how hard would it be to change it to play some other song?

High quality content!
Do you have a Patreon?
Thanks ♥️. I don't have a Patreon yet, but I will think about it (-;
@@TKMUSIC_THIS is the channel to be watching and the type of ingenuity that needs to be supported!
Is the machine designed to lift marbles faster than it drops them - such that there will never be many marbles at the bottom?
Exactly, this is the reason why we need 8 marbles per crank turn.
@@TKMUSIC_ Good thinking. I'll buy into that thinking.
At 4:40 marbles slip down the lift?
Great eye. The wooden rail was too loose, but the system itself worked perfectly. So later I added rods of wood to support the wooden rails.
Looking forward to seeing it progress… I believe :)
My solution to the fact that there's too much marbles in lift #1? MORE MARBLES !
It should not matter where most of the marbles are. They will be redistributed as more marbles are introduced.
Wintergatan was a scam.. Good to see that some people are not scammers.. This is quite good!
You’re trolling aren’t you
@@Tharmin.124 Wintergatan was the troll! And we all fell for it.
