Akiyuki Ball Factory New Style LEGO GBC (V3)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 кві 2019
- The Ball Factory from Akiyuki is without doubt the most iconic LEGO Great Ball Contraption and has drawn many into building GBCs including me 3 years ago. With 15 synchronized components the Ball Factory is also the most complex LEGO GBC ever designed.
Originally placed on two big baseplates, it was hard to relocate and reliability was a concern with balls dropping into the complex mechanisms causing jams and need for time consuming resynchronizing.
After 3 years of designing and building my own GBCs I thought it was time to attempt building the Ball Factory as a fully compliant and reliable GBC to take to events. To achieve this I've put all components on a frame and used studless beams for more rigidity. Together with other improvements this resulted in this new style and GBC compliant Ball Factory with much improved reliability.

I like how everything that can be counter-weighted is counter-weighted and how smooth it is.
Cool! I like how you can run it so fast, it looks and sounds awesome at full speed! I like how you built it so the center can come out too.
We did a seven-module loop at work for "Take Your Child to Work Day." It was a big hit with the kid (and the Lego enthusiasts on staff). I would consider building this one for next year. I think it would make the kids pretty excited. Most of what we do on the power system is not very understandable to the younger kids. They got enthusiastic about the mechanisms though. Thank you for sharing this and making improvements!
Very nice improvements! Also the attention to detail is absolutely amazing! No single stud is shown! :)
Berthil, I think you've done a wonderful job.
In her day she built the ball factory and took it to a fair where it worked during the weekend, but
I think I'm going to have to do it again, but with your great design.
Greetings Fernando.
I never knew akiyuki was female
I think not. Problems of the google translator that helps me with my low level of English.@@joshuakorynta3385

Hi berthil
I‘ve just finished recreating your MOC and I have a problem with the spiral lift:
The balls constantly get stuck at the pickup.
In your instructions there are some exposed studs right at that area, I think the instructions are missing something!
Is it possible for you to explain me what is supposed to go there or what might be the problem?
Great~!!
I have finally finished this module.
Soon I will upload the video.
Your instruction has fatal errors, so I almost gave up. For other builders, the instruction needs to be modified correctly.
Thank you for your efforts.
Many thanks and best regards.
So let me know the errors so I can correct. Please make sure you compare with the latest versions of the building instruction because there have been many updates according to feedback of others.
Jeong Hwan Ahn it is good to see you back building gbcs i look forward to the video of this module, i too want to build it with new parts as i dont use used pieces anymore.
@@aronslegogbcs1057 I just uploaded the video. Enjoy it. Thanks.
Hoe krijg ik contact met jullie?

Waarom?
Very smooth operation, well done on the build! The hand crank is a really good idea as it would make getting the timing right a lot easier. It handled the high speeds really well.
10\10 one of my favorite gbc creations yet!!!
Beautifull! You inspired me (again) to build.
Cool!!!
Very nice machine!!
very nice
Genius! You’re totally picaso!! 😍😍😍
Things I build tend to come out looking like Picaso, this guy is a da Vinci!
The biggest issue I can see attempting this would have been maintaining all the correct distances between the mechanisms/getting all the holes in the right postions.
Bravo on the the Ball loader redesign that looks so much easier to build (and repair) than the original brick version whilst still be mechanically the same.
Love that it looks like you kept the original gearing on the long conveyor as that seems to be the thing many people change.
The output is fantastic.
One question are you able to disconnect the loader side from the rest of the mechanism for even easier travel?
Thanks! The loader can ben easily disconnected for travel although not so intended, it's more a side effect of being studless.
It's amazing! I will support your lego ideas too. You are really talented. Have you made instruction for this?
Thanks!. No building instructions yet but have started with the digital design already so hopefully in a month or so. It will be a free instruction.
@@BerthilvanBeek Where can you find the instructions when they are ready?
@@semgerritsen6701 On Rebrickable under my MOCs
rebrickable.com/users/Berthil/mocs/
@@BerthilvanBeek is the new return going to be in the instructions?
Yes, digital file is ready and first 65 pages out of 450 are on Rebrickable.
Gorgeous. Well done. What was your total build time?
Over 100 hours, I don't think there are many bricks the same as in the Akiyuki original.

Hello, what's the name of the yellow part with the many buttons on it?
Hi, I',m not sure what you mean, do you mean the 9V train power supply in the front? That's 2868b but the whole machine can also run with the standard battery power supply 59510c01 www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=59510c01
very pretty, i really want to try to use and learn lego, what kind of this lego? what is it name? how much is it cost? and if you buy this kit you can use it for all you have in mind? thanks
i'm pretty sure he just made it out of his own lego bricks, i don't think that's an actual lego set
It's not a set. Free building instruction will be available here where first 65 pages of 450 are available now. Also there a parts list to order all parts on Bricklink.
Hoeveel GBC ballen raad je aan om hierin te gebruiken
Moet die namelijk nog kopen
Met 60 stuks loopt hij mooi met gevulde bakjes, 50 kan ook.
Weet je ook waar je ze het best kan kopen
Ben namelijk nieuw in GBC. Heb het vroeger altijd geprobeerd maar lukte nooit
Bricklink voor origineel LEGO maar is prijzig. PV-Productions in NL heeft neppe ballen, zijn iets kleiner maar wel juiste oranje kleur.
Heel erg bedankt
Je bent de eerste die ook echt op vragen reageert.
Ga zo door!!
It's very similar like this.
