QM Marble Run - Switch Cube

thingiverse

I've always been fascinated by marble runs. Luckily, my kids share the same enthusiasm. We've downloaded and purchased numerous marble runs from various websites, but each one eventually fell short in some way or became too complicated for adults to enjoy while still frustrating kids. So I decided to create a marble run that would be enjoyable for both me and my kids - something fun, easy, and functional. The QM (QuirkyMojo) Marble Run is designed with both kids and adults in mind, featuring a simple cube design where each cube has a distinct function. When combined with other basic cubes, the designs can become intricate and complex. This is a Premium Function Cube for the QM Marble Run. The Switching Cube allows marbles to be dropped from above and randomly sends them left or right. It comes with all necessary parts for functionality and assembly is straightforward. If desired, you can permanently secure the swing shaft in the cube by applying a drop of crazy glue to either side where the shaft meets the exterior wall. The shaft has been designed to stay in place during play but can be removed if needed. This cube prints well without supports with the following settings or similar: PLA or PLA+ Bed Temp 70c Extruder Temp 200c Resolution .2 or .15 for patient users
