Modular marble machine plans

I drew detailed plans for the modular marble machine. I love showing off these plans, and have included a preview of the plans so you can get a better sense of what's inside before buying.

The plans include:

  • Detailed plans and instructions for building the marble pump
  • Plans for the marble run building blocks
  • Plans for the marble machine
  • A total of 18 pages of drawings and illustrations
  • Detailed instruction on building the machine, including over 100 photos of the construction.
  • A SketchUp model of the machine, which allows you to view the machine from any angle, disassemble it, or regenerate each of the views in the plans by clicking on the 'scene' tabs in SketchUp.
I have also produced a video on building the marble pump

Many more...
The base of the machine is 52x40 cm. It is 51 cm high when set up, 15 cm high in the box.

The plans are in metric units, except for drill and dowel sizes, which are in imperial units. You can generate plans in imperial units simply by changing the units to "imperial" in SketchUp under "model info", but the units will not work out to even numbers like they do in Metric.


The base doubles as a storage box

Cost: $14 USD or equivalent in your currency

On payment, you will be able to download your plans immediately.
The plans are a 5.5 megabyte zip file (your computer, Mac or PC, already knows how to open zip files)
