Not made it yet but.......

I have made the two wheeler which works perfectly. Obviously there are bits of post-printing work to be done but well worth the effort. I did have an issue with the tipper which I printed as instructed with 100% infill. The weight of the 4 marbles was not sufficient to tip and I had to drill out the tipper counter weight.

Overall, I am very impressed with the two wheeler and am now starting to print the bucket tower.

The idea of being able to change the modules is very cleaver and I look forward to seeing different modules becoming available.

I believe that Luka is promising a "bigger, better and brighter" design and I am looking forward to seeing that

Newbie, but impressed...

To be fair, I am new to 3D printing and still in steep learning curve...this product though is good for me to be learning on since it requires a few different approaches to getting good output...most importantly, using the test print for proper hole sizing to mate parts was crucial...the other was employing adaptive layers...I have so far seen a few places where the marbles tend to stick along the path - in one instance I used some silicone lube to help things along, for others, I thin I will need to sand the path a bit...still just getting the modules together to assemble into a tower, so so far have not had to install and adjust chain - will report back on that in a bit...I added some LED lighting to the module that will be on the bottom of the tower and I printed that with clear PLA so hopefully that will look good - would be nice if the posts on one side of the braces were set up as a conduit to carry some lighting wiring up to higher module layers - maybe when I learn more I can implement myself...so far, been a fun, though at times a bit frustrating project!

Have you not thought about your professional existence that such a long chain has weight and swings so far? A driver or a chain tensioner would come in handy.
