Beskrivelse

This is an amazing little marble run that utilizes the following parts from the Maker’s Beginner Kit: 030 Micro DC Motor AAA Battery Terminal Kit Power Cable Kit with 2mm Spade Terminals 1:49.7 Dual-axis Plastic Reduction- Gear Kit BT3 SHCS Self Tapping Screw 8mm Stainless Steel Balls Begin by building a motor using the DC motor and the reduction-gear kit. The gearbox casing for the motor is not my design. It was borrowed from the Motorized Escalator - Beginner Kit Version by AlexY_. The maker has a nice video showing how to assemble the motor and the battery box that you will need to watch here. Print the remaining parts using the filament of your choice. PLA works great. The top cap for the lifting screw mechanism can be locked in place by inserting a small piece of raw filament into the locking holes, but I find that step is not necessary. Ensure that the screw mechanism can turn freely before installation. Assemble the 3-part screw mechanism and attach the motor before snapping them in place in the base. It is easier if the wires are attached to the motor before attaching the motor to the base. The motor runs on 6 volts DC. You can make the battery box that is included with the model files or use any other 6 volt DC power supply. An old 6 volt power adapter can be repurposed to power the motor. There are two legs which screw into the back of the base to make it stand upright. Do not overtighten the legs. Remember this is just plastic! The front panel is modular and can be changed to provide different unique challenges for the marbles as they descend. The parts are small enough to print on the Bambu A1 Mini. This project requires the Maker's Beginner Kit XC002 from Bambu Labs. Boost Me (for free) If you like my models, please give them a boost!
