Catcher compatible for Gravitrax

thingiverse

I discovered this amazing catcher created by "basti_vapes" but I wanted to modify it so that I could turn the plate in all six directions freely. The original design had the catcher printed upside-down. The open side where marbles are inserted was placed on the bed of my 3D printer. The ring is a separate component that's also printed upside-down and glued into the bottom of the plate. <h4>Update November 24, 2019:</h4> After testing the original design, I noticed that the upper part of the catcher tended to tip out of the plate when marbles hit the back wall. To address this issue, I added a groove around all six sides of the plate and created a bulge on the side where marbles enter the catcher. The bulge fits perfectly into the groove, preventing the catcher from tipping over as easily. <h3>Update December 29, 2019:</h3> I've uploaded a new version of the ring that's even stronger than before.
