LairdWarp Rollercoaster

thingiverse

Inspired by the Spacewarp rollercoaster system, I designed an all-printed version. The result is a creative 3D project that utilizes various parts and materials for a fun experience. To create your own, you'll need 1/2" steel balls (or glass marbles) as the main component. Next, design a layout using online resources for inspiration, then print base plates, vertical bars, horizontal arms, cross ties, and use filament as the rails. Roll the steel balls down the track and enjoy! The project also invites users to help design more parts and adapt existing designs for an even better experience. Several pre-configured Thing models are available on Thingiverse for easy customization. The specific parts include Cross Tie, Base, Vertical Bar, Horizontal Bar, Cross Bar, B2B Clip, Base Clip, Full Circle Tie, Loop, and T-Bar. Additionally, plates for various pieces can be printed for a more organized building process. Customizable settings allow users to adjust the size of bars and create unique designs to fit their preferences.
