I don't have words, it's great, easy to print and I will never get tired of it, because of all interchangeable modules. I looking forward to print out "The double screw" too.
Using the attached tollerance test was great, everything has been snap fitting good and it is so much fun. Can't wait for my printer to finish it.
here's photo and video.
This is a masterpiece. I'm interested in Goldberg devices, but most of them are expensive and not substantial. Of course, I understand that it's hard to make good products, but I couldn't help feeling discouraged. But when I found this, I was shocked. A product that can change kit! I was amazed at the incredible devices that the artisans of Goldberg's devices hand-made with carpentry on YouTube. Now I can print it and use it myself. This is a revolution and a masterpiece. Thank you. Out of Marble.

This project was soooo much fun and it still is! All parts were easy to print, assembly instructions were top-notch, non-printed parts were easy to source (also locally), all parts fit very nicely together and it's so much fun to play with! Biggest problem is that my kids don't allow me to play a lot with the marble machine, they occupy it most of the time... :-o
I guess I'll need a second one ;-)
