Micro Marblerun - a minimalist marble machine with screw lift. The two parts are designed to snap together. Use with 8 mm steel balls.

Serves as a nice little gift or addictive toy for your desk.

Print at 118% to fit a 9.5mm (3/8") ball bearing - thanks to V4HE for mentioning this in his make.

Notes:

No specific print settings needed, I have used these for example:

  • 0.3 mm layer height with 0.5 mm hotend
  • 3 shells (2 should be plenty enough)
  • 25% hexagonal infill
  • 2 solid bottom layers, 2 solid top layers
  • Seam position aligned

    Post-Printing

    Clean the inside of the tower, the entrance/exit as well as the contact surfaces between the two parts. Make sure the bottom of the screw is flat. Test if the ball can enter the tower without resistance. Do this before installing the lift screw, it is difficult to remove once snapped into place.
