QM Marble Run - 10 Piece Set

pinshape

I have always loved marble runs. Fortunately, my kids share the same enthusiasm. We've downloaded and purchased several marble runs from various sites, but they all lacked something or were too complicated for both kids and adults to enjoy together. So, I decided to create a marble run that would be fun, easy, and functional for everyone. The QM Marble Run has been designed with this goal in mind. It's a basic cube design where each cube has a specific function. When pieced together with other cubes, the designs can become very interesting and complex. This is the basic QM Marble Run Set, which includes 9 pieces that are simple to use yet offer countless possibilities. The set comes with a variety of cubes, each designed to be stacked and connected in various ways. The Cube Binder piece allows you to join the cubes side-by-side, creating an endless array of track designs. Every cube has a design depicting its function, which my kids find fascinating. For optimal performance, I recommend playing on a smooth or hard surface, such as a cutting board like we use at home. This set includes: 1. Launch Cube: The first cube in the set that accelerates your marble. 2. Straight Cube: A standard track cube for straight shots. 3. Tunnel Cube: Similar to the Straight Cube but enclosed at the top. 4. Four-Way Intersection Cube: Allows traffic from all four sides. 5. Single Drop Cube: Receives a marble from one direction and passes it down to the next cube. 6. Four-Way Drop Cube: Receives marbles from all four directions and passes them down to the next cube. 7. 90 Degree Turn Cube: A universal turn cube for any track design. 8. Support Cube: A quick-print cube that serves as a standard support or pass-down cube. 9. Cube Binder: Connects cubes on top of each other and side-by-side. I'm always designing new additions to this Marble Run, so please check back often. Please note that the Binder clip is small, so keep it out of reach from young children. This set can be printed with no supports using PLA or PLA+ at 200c for the extruder temperature, 70c bed temperature, and a resolution of .2mm or .15mm for those who are patient. If you're feeling generous, consider donating to support this project. The basic components are free, and I want this Marble Run to bring people together and make fun activities accessible to everyone. Thank you all for your support, and enjoy!
