Automata - Staircase Marble Machine

thingiverse

This is a re-work of Staircase Marble machines by Baychattan, in turn based on the work of SBolonaDesign with Automata - Marble Machine (links to the parts in References). The reason for this reinterpretation is due to create a greater sloping track with obstacles for the marbles. It also allows larger marbles. The finished machine can work with marbles up to 10 mm in diameter. 8 mm ball bearing size is recommended. The project consists of the following parts: - Base - Top - Axis - Cams followers (five different ones, of increasing height) - Disc cams (five of these needed - fit alternately up and down on the shaft) - Handle - Nut (goes on the end of the shaft) A folder is shared with the parts with a tolerance around 0.2 to 0.5 mm. Important: The tolerance of your 3D printer must be checked before printing the parts For this, the original files (without tolerances) are shared in. STEP format, which can be modified in a CAD program (Fusion 360, Inventor, SolidWorks ...), they are also attached in .OBJ. It is recommended to print with a layer height of 0.2 or greater. Support and infill recommendation: - Base: Non-supports / Infill 5% - Top With supports / Infill 3% - Axis With supports / Infill 5% / (It is recommended in a vertical position) / Rafts - Cams followers Non-supports / Infill 5% - Disc cams Non-supports / Infill 10% - Handle With supports / Infill 10% - Nut Non-supports / Infill 5% This reinterpretation has been an educational work. Again, this work has been made possible thanks to the designs of Baychattan and SBolanaDesign. - Automata - Marble Machine by SBolonaDesign https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2788307 - Staircase Marble Machine by Baychattan https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2813288 https://youtu.be/Na0138iR0gk
