Battery Base For Motorised Marble Machine

cults3d

These files represent a creative mashup of jasonm621's "Printable Marble Machine #1" and Alzibiff's "Motorised Marble Machine" designs, expertly modified to incorporate a versatile AA battery holder and a practical toggle switch as seen in the accompanying photos. Inspired by dmassey's innovative "Battery Base" remix, I adapted the motorised marble machine base to accommodate this convenient power source and control system. Additionally, I tailored Dogbert's remixed motor mount to securely house the Pololu 298:1 micro gear motor (Cat #3069) without relying on the optional Pololu motor bracket. The battery holder can be conveniently sourced through eBay by searching for "4 X AA Battery Holder," while the mini toggle switch used in this design is easily found using the keywords "Mini Toggle Switch." To ensure a secure fit, I fastened the battery holder to the battery base with two small screws, and the motor simply pushes into its mount for a snug connection. Furthermore, I modified the "Helix Holder" file to eliminate the power plug hole and add a few new holes for added functionality. Please visit Alzibiff's Thingiverse page for access to the remaining files and instructions required to build the Motorized Marble Machine. Special thanks are extended to all the makers whose designs have inspired this creation, and appreciation is expressed to those who have taken the time to review this contribution to Thingiverse!
