Created with Customizer! http://www.thingiverse.com/apps/customizer/run?thing_id=615256 This Lego Marble Track is designed to steer the marble into a sharp right-angle turn. Instructions for Building the Right-Angle Turn Module To create this Lego marble track, use the following options: Lego bricks will be used for the track's foundation and frame. Solid studs will serve as connectors and structural supports. Technic holes are not necessary in this design. For additional strength, the track does not require reinforcement at this point. Yes, add wing-stud notches to the side supports for stability. A left wing-type track design is chosen for optimal turning performance. Avoid placing vertical axle holes anywhere on this design. Keep the track level and symmetrical: roadways should be set at 0 on both axes (x & y). This Lego marble track makes use of single-wing block units with a base length of one unit. Set roadway lengths to zero as we focus solely on the turn section. Create concave curves in each segment for better turning dynamics. Design the wings using one-unit base sections and one-unit wing tips. Set standard brick blocks to 4 x 4 in size for sturdy structure and foundation. Set the width of roadways and supporting platforms at zero units. Configure track rows for curves to have five stud segments for smoother transitions. Set module lengths at 4 units, making it easier to combine and attach additional pieces. Design bricks should maintain a consistent height-to-length ratio equal to 1. For stability and structural integrity, build tracks using solid double-sides supports if desired.
