I myself bought one from another Etsy seller last year, but it is no longer listed. This week I searched for “gravitrax” and went through every single result, and did not find another lift currently being sold. Apparently Etsy offerings change over time.
Great video! I've been a huge fan of those motorized lifts for a long time now :) using the ramp to launch marbles into a tiptube is fun, try it sometime!
What I'd really like to see from the pendulum though is a demonstration of the amount of speed it's released with on a perfectly even rail. Gaining a good sense of the amount of speed it comes out with is what makes me decide to buy it or not. The problem I see with how it's designed is that because it needs to rest on a platform it's hard to connect it with a rail that goes down right away and for whatever reason I don't get Ravensburger didn't make normal leveling blocks hollow so things can fall down through them, why not exactly? It saves them on plastic and it allows people to put a standard vortex they make on a leveling block as well.
@@MaskedMarble That's good to know. How many hexes does it make on an even rail you'd say? Like say it's put on 1 end on a 3-hexes big platform, does it bridge the 3 hexes on it's own before it can go down on it's own after that?
All i really want is a switch that doesn't break when multiple marbles come through it at once, but a super zig zag will do for now. Also i wonder if combining it with the rollercoaster rails would work?🤔
Magnitech raises an interesting question. I don’t see why it wouldn’t. The only problem is you’d need a quantity of 5 of the particular rail you’re using.
I think the Power Elevator and Lever will be Ravensburger’s only lift options for a long time. But the marbles probably won’t mind if a 3D printed lift is used instead.
@@MagmaForce_ Sometimes store owners will remove it, but sometimes they'll just put their store on auto-pilot, print in batches, and once they've sold all of that batch the store doesn't display that product anymore.
Which MarbleMania3D GraviTrax add-on is your favorite?
its not the only lift on etzy, I got this one and one twice the size of this one.

Wow 3d
Oh who knows maybe they would release more power upgrades in the coming years
I am hoping for a Power marble transporter beam like in Star Trek.
Very funny 'bowling' arrival! 👍👍nice video, nice review, as always! 👏👏
An almost perfect score for the bowling part

Great tip!

The new law would allow companies
Vortexes are neat, vortexes are cool, A six entrance vortex might make you drool. -The masked marble
You should make a marble run with all the 3d-printed pieces!!!! It would be Mega-Maze-ing
Thanks for your suggestion. Someone else suggested the same thing, so maybe that would make a nice grand finale for the series!
My favourite gravitrax addon Is motorized lift

The pendulum does store the marble higher than at the exit, so there is some basic acceleration that occurs.

@imperialmarchinhumanbowels5726 Not sure. I'd have to dig it out to see.
The lift is just fire🔥

I wish they would make those prints real

It works with the smaller track I believe. The longer ones need support I am afraid

The motorized lift will be a great Grava tracks power elevator upgrade if it was officially made by ravensburger

The Super Zigzag isnt unique, you can also buy it on eBay from other sellers
Which Ebay? I searched Ebay for GraviTrax Zigzag (in English) and only found one similar to the medium zigzag.
eBay DE
Cool!
How is bowling useful in a marble run?
It’s a spectacular finish.
Part 6 is coming 2 weeks.
You make me feel like you're one of this guy's friends.
Ok
I don’t know Dinh, but I will say he is enthusiastic about GraviTrax!
sorry
Not a problem 🙂
I can't find the super zigzag on etsy
I’d try writing the shop owner; he might print more if he knows you’re interested.
@@MaskedMarble I didn't know if a part is out of stock, it will disappear from the shop, thanks for the explanation

why do those 2 parts look so similar?
Similar function. The one on left is a catcher insert design from coogelbahn.de. The one on right is the standard GraviTrax catcher insert.
Nice review🤩👍
