Spacerail Level 5 (58 balls)

Spacerail level 5 (231-5) project « Get rid of that N0!z3 » running 58 balls
Build has been edited for fluidity and again.... to get rid of that N0!z3 :)
Problems:
1 - It was a bit of a challenge to make it flow nicely. The "Big revolving" stunt is a bottleneck when running as many balls as possible thus I needed to reduce the amount of balls running towards this element.
2 - The "Starter" element is very noisy and almost useless...
3 - Forks are a pain sometimes
4 - For some reason my elevator transparent walls were quite loose
Solutions:
1 - I replaced the "Starter" element with a "Fork" to divide the amount of balls towards the "Big revolving" by 2 then I created a spiral track to the unused elevator entrance.
2 - I then added a speed controller to make sure the "Big revolving" is always "ready" when a ball get to it.
3 - I designed forks cage preventing balls from jumping out of them (slowing down balls is advised first)
4 - I designed spare elevator walls

Very fine !! Are rails and balls made with metal or plastic ? 😀

[@TheDjFac]

Hi, rails are plastic made. Balls are metallic. You may find kits online

[@Unitedwhisperer]

Where did you purchase the extra balls?

For my the arm rotating thingy drops the ball do you have any tips?

[@TheDjFac]

@@BLABLABLA-op9xiThe idea is to remove the plastic base initially aimed to receive the ball from the rotating arm. You can see in my video I got rid of it. The idea is to receive the ball on the rails directly. The part of the rails receiving the ball need to be bent and the end of the rails must be spread apart to ensure the ball will not fall. (Zoom in the video to see the rails are a bit spread as if you would slow down the ball as soon as it falls from the rotating arm)
