VMR 6mm Single Peg

thingiverse

Standard single peg with 6mm axle features K'nex hub compatibility, enabling seamless integration of all associated marble run pieces that utilize these pegs for mounting purposes. Strategically designed holes accommodate thumbtacks with precision, while an indent specifically caters to the use of 1/2" magnets during chalkboard demonstrations. This innovative peg system is poised to evolve into a modular blackboard physics project in the near future. The Standard Peg was conceptualized using OpenSCAD design software. Fabricating a set of twenty such pegs on default settings with our flashforge printer takes exactly three hours and twenty-three minutes. Vertical Marble Run: Project Overview Objectives: To create an engaging and interactive vertical marble run experience for users. Audiences: Marble enthusiasts, makers, and educators seeking innovative ways to demonstrate physics principles. Preparation: Ensure access to necessary materials, including the Standard Peg, marble run pieces, and 1/2" magnets. Steps! 1. Assemble the marble run structure using the Standard Pegs. 2. Attach thumbtacks and 1/2" magnets as per design requirements. 3. Conduct chalkboard demonstrations to illustrate physics concepts. Results: Observe the smooth operation of the vertical marble run, showcasing the effective integration of the Standard Peg system.
