Marble Run Alternating Diverter

thingiverse

Here is a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgyd7eRcv-k">video of the marble run alternating diverter</a> in action. This marble run piece splits marbles entering it into two different paths, and multiple of these diverters can be connected to send marbles onto as many different paths as you want! This should work with almost any marble run set (ours was tested using a Marble Genius set). The diameters that mate with other pieces are about 23.75mm, and the center lines of both outlets and the inlet are all 100mm apart, making this part usable even if your set does not match these dimensions. Print one each of the "Main Part" and the "Diverter Paddle". The diverter paddle just slides loosely into the main part with the shortest/thinnest arm pointed toward the marble inlet. This is a fairly simple print, so I recommend 100% infill for the Main Part with very minimal supports (only really needed inside the inlet cylinder). If you print one, consider posting a make!
