Magnetic Marble Run Wall Components

These magnetic marble run components were crafted to help my 7th-grade students explore and hone their skills with a dynamic marble run wall. They were then challenged to design their own components using Tinkercad, which we later printed out and presented to the lower school for their innovative marble run wall project. If you'd like to delve into the details of this project, please visit: http://www.creatorsstudio.org/special-projects/category/marble-run The majority of these models were optimized to print without supports. I utilized a Lulzbot Taz 6 with either PLA or NGEN filament. Magnets were carefully attached to the pieces afterwards. Please note that Model #7 did not yield satisfactory results on my Taz 6, but all other components printed flawlessly. The Marble Run Catcher was designed by one of our talented Lucas Scholars in the summer of 2016. (http://lucasscholars.org)
