Manual Piston Marble Maze

thingiverse

This is a simplified hand-operated version of our "Piston" gadget. Pushing down on the piston raises marbles to the top of the maze, allowing them to drift gently downward. This model consists of two parts that must be printed separately and then assembled easily. You will need approximately five or six 8mm steel ball bearings as well as a small spring, similar to one found in a ball-point "click" pen. Depending on your 3D printer's capabilities, you may require a pair of tweezers to guide the track into place and some sandpaper to clean any rough edges. Detailed print and assembly instructions are included (see the pdf in 'files'). If you have questions or comments, feel free to email us at info@gualalagadget.com.
