ROKR who are @Robotime subsidiary company recently released their latest and their first ever electric Marble Run called Spaceport.
It’s a very exciting 3D wooden model that is very pleasant and straight forward to assemble and it can be either operated manually by hand crank or electronically by plugging in a USB C type cable in the motor controller. By the way the USB cable is not included in the kit.
And in this video I am going to assemble the whole marble run kit step-by-step and also give you some handy tips for when it come to sanding, waxing, organising the wooden boards and more.
I hope you find my tips and the assembly handy and enjoyable, and if you have any handy tips yourself, please make sure you share them with us by leaving a comment.

Greetings from sunny Suffolk! Thank you SO much for putting this video together - it really helped me to correctly assemble the kit and avoid some of the confusion from the construction diagrams. Have also bough the Marble Night City and Marble Run Link Pack and am looking forward to being taken through the assembly of those too 😀
Hey Steve, all the way from Suffolk, that’s brilliant 😃
Aahh that’s amazing, I’m really glad I was able to help and you’re more than welcome 😊
I can also tell you that Night City is a bit more fiddly than the Spaceport, but you’re gonna be fine and I hope the rest of my videos will help out 🤞
I've finally got all three packs, so I'm looking forward to following this carefully for the first pack
Hey, that’s excellent and I hope everything goes well and my tutorial comes in helpful 😊
Thanks a lot. From Korea.
Hey, you are more than welcome 😊 All the way from Korea, that’s incredible 🤩
Thanks from Oz 👍
You are more than welcome Mike and that’s amazing 😃
Watching from South Carolina USA
Hey Scott,
That’s awesome, so many folk from the USA here, it’s amazing 😃
Very nice video instructions I have just gotten the spaceport and the marble run with the connector in between the the two. I am going to get started on spaceport tonight and hopefully it will be as half good as the one that you did.
Thank you so much, I’m really glad you find it useful 😊 And that’s excellent, you’re gonna love the spaceport, it’s such an enjoyable build and best of luck Keith 😊
Waiting for mine and looking to your video from Lutjegast in Groningen (Netherlands)
All the way from Netherlands, that’s incredible, absolutely love it 😃
And you’re gonna love this model, it’s so enjoyable and pleasant to assemble, and just watching it go on its own is incredible 👌
Thank you for the guide, this is great work!
Hey, you’re more than welcome and I hope it helps you out and hopefully I gave you some handy tips as well 🙂
I just ordered it with the connection set. Can't await to put it to the city.
Here I really like that the build starts with the baseplate.
Sandings not an issue for me. I use these stripes made for fingernails, two kinds of grid. And for tighter spots I trimm parts off the stripe.
I might be wrong or they changed it. The clear foil of the logo (after pressing/rubbing the letters) can be removed. It's for transition, so only the letters stay.
Münster (Germany)
Hey, aahh that’s amazing and I really hope you enjoy building all of them 😃
I agree that it’s nice that it starts with the base plate and yeah sanding is pretty easy, but does take up quite a lot of time to be honest. What grit are you using?
And yeah you are right about the logo sticker, I only discovered that after I had completed the kit 😅
@@MartinsAssemblyHaven I'm quiet optimist. The ne model in your video snaps better together than tge city (needed some super glue for the broken parts). Unfortunately I cannot say which grit it is. These nail trimming stripes have no numbers on it. But if I should guess 1000 snd 2000 on the other side.
Yeah the night city isn’t that easy to put together and it has quite a few frustrating parts compared to spaceport. Spaceport was really enjoyable to build and fun.
Ah I see, that’s a very fine sandpaper, isn’t it a bit too fine or is it okay?
so i found this review on amazon that said that the thing has formaldehyde which is really toxic and poisonous but i didn't know that when i was building so i breathed a lot in and now i think i might die please help me.
Hey Yuri, I personally haven’t seen that anywhere so if someone has left a review that it contains ‘formaldehyde’, it could also be untrue.
But even if that is the case, you won’t die so don’t worry about that. You’d have to be exposed to it in massive doses of which isn’t going to happen. The worst that can happen is that you get irritated skin or eyes or throat so there’s no need to panic 😊
@@MartinsAssemblyHaven oh okay thanks
No problem at all 😊 Have you finished the Marble Run? If so, it’s pretty amazing isn’t it? 😃
@@MartinsAssemblyHaven Not quite done yet, should take me a few more minutes to finish.
Ah that’s brilliant, you’ll love it once it’s plugged in 👌
Hi Martin.I’m loving your videos,I’m currently doing Marble Run Spaceport and I can honestly say your videos a lot of the time are clearer than the instructions,so keep up the good work.The only thing is it would be handy if you could say which the number on a particular piece is,you did it once and it was dead handy.Thanks for fantastic videos.
Hey Alan, aahh thank you so much for such a lovely comment, I’m delighted I’m able to help and thank you for the feedback as well, it’s much appreciated and I hope your build goes well 😊
And just to let you know there is 1 step in this video that I missed, and it’s putting the stickers on the little baskets.
Ah yes Martin I found those and put them on because they were there to be done,but thanks anyway.Your videos are. by way the clearest I’ve seen,I’ve almost done Spaceport and it’s a breeze compared to Night City which was pure hell.
I so agree with you there, I have said this before in groups that spaceport is way easier and more satisfying than the pain in the backside night city 😅
And thank you so much for that, I’m delighted it was all clear and helpful 😊
Hug Martin.Well Spaceport is done and thanks to your video it works a treat just got to install the motor.Unfortunately I did so much wrong and basically wrecked my other Night City because I didn’t have your video So i’m going to follow your night city video.I’ve ordered a replacement and stripped the other one down for spares.I also have the link part now so when I’ve built the new Night City I’ll use your link video to link the two.
Meanwhile wish me luck assembling my new Night City.
Once again thanks Martin your help is invaluable.
By the way I live not far from Norwich in Norfolk.
that was meant to say Hi not Hug…oops!!!
Hi Martin, great video. Just completing mine, but on the last ramp at 2:44:20 the whole assembly is just loose and not tight like yours. I've double checked as it looked like something was missing. Guess I'll have to super glue
Actually, just checked your video when you installed and it does seem loose. But weird how everything is tight apart from this
I have the Marble Space run kit LGC01, what's the link to the addon kit that lights up, thank you.
Hey, that’s excellent and I hope you’ll enjoy the build 😊
And you can find the link pack here: shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1707320&u=4069976&m=106192&urllink=&afftrack= 😊
@@MartinsAssemblyHaven Thank you
No problem at all 🙂
I'm watching from CARVER, Massachusetts in the US. Being of Scottish decent, I love your accent! Waiting for mine to arrive.
Hey Rick, aahh that’s absolutely amazing, a Scottish decent as well, even better 😃
And you’re gonna love building this Marble Run, it’s so satisfying and enjoyable, and then just watching it go on its own is brilliant 👌
family name is Cranston.
Ha that’s very nice, it’s a clan name from Scotland from what I’ve read 😊
I use the charger for my laptop to power the motor since I couldn't find any other wires. I find that after a while, the motor will stop moving. I think maybe my cable is just too powerful. I usually just unplug it and plug it back in again and it's fine
Ah I see and you could be right, maybe the charger rating is much higher than what the motor is design for, hence it keeps burning out possibly and one day it might die completely 😬
Very helpful tutorial . Around 53+ minute mark there is a part labelled C2 which should have been attached to the outside of the little buckets with the small ball bearing inside . Apologies if you corrected this at a later point .
Thank you so much and I’m delighted you found it helpful 😊
And yes you are correct, I did manage to miss that wee step and I corrected it later on once someone else pointed it out but thank you, well spotted 😊
Absolutely beautiful (new subscriber)😊
Hey Adam’s, Aaww thank you so much, it’s much appreciated 😊
Thanks for the fast reply, the Titanic is on metal sheets the same system as the Mable Run but in metal and smaller.
The instructions are not very clear, if its possible could I send it to you by email or WhatsApp?
Once again many thanks for your video, you should get an Oscar for it.😂
Ah okay I see. To be honest I’ve never done one of those type of metal models, have you done any more of those in the past? Are they pretty straight forward and how long approximately do they take to assemble?
If you send me an email of the instructions I could have a look, but as I mentioned I haven’t assembled one of those type of models unfortunately.
Haha that’s a good one, I’ll take it 🤣 It’s much appreciated 😊
Hey Benny, I got an email that you left a comment where you were saying that you’d like to purchase the Marble Night City through me, but I can’t find the comment on UA-cam for some reason.
But if you were still interested, you can find it here: shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2533204&u=4069976&m=106192&urllink=&afftrack= It’s my referral link and I really appreciate your support here 😊
Thanks a lot. From Canada.
Hey, that’s awesome 🤩🇨🇦 And you are more than welcome 😊
watching your video, very helpful at times of trouble. Just one thing I saw you kind of missed and that was on page 8. when you assembled the little buckets, you didn't apply part C2 to make bucket complete. hope you will go back and take a gander at the parts. let me know if you fixed the Boo Boo. I'm on page 12 and doing fine. By the way, I'm from Niagara Falls New York USA. 5 minutes from the Falls itself.
Hey, ah that’s great to hear and thank you, I hope you’re enjoying the assembly 😊
Oohh my god you’re right, how on earth did I miss that. Thank you very much for spotting that and I’ll get to it and sort them out, thank you again 😊
All the way from Niagara Falls, that’s amazing, I assume you go and check it out quite often? 😃
@3DAssemblyZone pretty much. Actually my wife works at the information center at the park. She sees a lot of people from all over the world. So if you ever get over this way sure to stop in and say Hi. Her name is Debbie.
@@515Tron That’s brilliant and yeah we’d love to go there one day, hopefully with a new born as well and we’d pop in and say hi no problem 😊
I'm assembling it and following the video (from Barcelona/Spain) and I find that the base is unstable because of piece D31, since even though it is well placed, it sticks out 1mm more than the legs of the base. Has anyone encountered the same problem? I take this opportunity to thank you for the video and for the subtitles so I can translate 🙂
Hey Ramon, all the way from Spain, that’s amazing 🇪🇸😃
You are more than welcome and I hope you find the video helpful 😊
Can you remind me what the D31 piece is as it’s been a while since I assembled this.
@@MartinsAssemblyHaven Sorry, it's the piece that you put on the base at minute 31:42, which sticks out more than the 4 legs. I think what I'll do is sand it a little smaller with my dremel and it won't affect the rest of the build. Just in case anyone has the same problem.
Hey Ramon, I’m so sorry for such a late reply.
But yeah you had the right idea just to sand it off at the bottom and then it should be perfectly fine.
I hope it went well 😊
Greetings from Los Angeles, CA, I saw the ad on IG and I was already hooked, I fully completed it yesterday and it so much fun watching and thank you for your tutorial on a few parts I got lost and confused on. Im going to order the Marble city next and then combine it with the Spaceport
Hey Shawn, all the way from LA, that’s incredible 😃 And I’m delighted I was able to help you with some of the steps 😊 And trust me, give yourself plenty of time and nerves for Night City as it’s actually got a few frustrating parts. Not as easy as Spaceport. But once you complete it,it’s actually amazing and yeah I can’t wait to join them up either, it should be amazing 😃
I just wanted to express my gratitude for your helpful video. It really saved me a lot of time. However, I noticed a minor issue with the ball run.Pastic, "Helter Skelter" as it seems the balls have some difficulty in entering.
On a different note, I recently purchased a metal model of the Titanic, but I couldn't find any instructional videos online. It would be wonderful if you could consider creating a video tutorial for it, as the instructions are a bit unclear. Thank you very much.
Hey Bernard, aww what a lovely comment and thank you very much for it and you are more than welcome, I’m delighted I’m able to help out 😊
And you’re not the only one who’s facing this issue, quite a lot of people are talking about it, and there’s a small ramp type of thing and it can be sanded off to help the balls get in, but don’t hold my word for it as I haven’t done it myself just yet.
Talking about the Titatic, metal models are brilliant but yes instructions can be quite hard to understand, is the Titanic model on like metal sheets or just like metal pieces that don’t have to be cut out and bent?
Bought the Marble Run and found this video after I had begun assembly. It was great to watch an experienced person doing the assembly because I've never done anything like complicated before. So far what I have (40% done) seems perfect! -- Will in Philadelphia, PA
Hey Will, I hope you’re having a great day 😊
Aahh that absolutely brilliant, I’m so delighted I’m able to help you out and you’re getting there, well done, you’re gonna love it once it’s completed 👌
All the way from Philadelphia, that’s amazing 😃
Has it ever happened to you that the crank suddenly got stuck because a ball got stuck at the entrance of this transport wheel on the front right. This happens to me often and for this reason I removed the motor so that it doesn't break.
Hey,
It actually has yes, it did that a couple of times and the motor just stopped when it got stuck so nothing can break really.
What you should do is get 2 tighter sleeves and put them on both sides of the ball carrier wheel as I noticed it keeps opening up and that’s when the balls start getting stuck.
@@MartinsAssemblyHavenHello, thank you for your answer. Yes, it has happened to me several times that the plastic sleeves have slipped off the shaft. I then attached it with glue and still it happened again. Robotime then advised me to smooth the entrance to the transport wheel with sandpaper. To do this you have to remove the bike because otherwise you can't get to it. I have now done that and noticed that there is a small step at the entrance, which I have now removed with a file. Once I've put everything back together, I'll report back.
Of course 😊
Aha I see, yes please do let me know how it goes and fingers crossed it works 🤞
@@MartinsAssemblyHavenI would like to get back to you regarding my comment from yesterday. Unfortunately, smoothing the entrance to the transport wheel was unsuccessful. The surface in front of this wheel is too flat, so the steel ball remains in front of it. If a second ball is added, it does not always push the first ball correctly into the hole, so that the driver clamps the ball inside. I'm now making a more sloping ramp that reaches up to the driver.
Hey, thank you very much for the update and that’s good to know.
I’m gonna have a look at my one and see what could possibly help out and if it works out I’ll share it 😊
Let me know how your wee ramp goes.
This video has been so helpful and easy to follow. Thank you!
Ah thank you so much for that and I’m delighted I was able to help 😊
Enjoying this looking forward to watching it all😊
Hey Mick, that’s brilliant and thank you very much, I’m glad you enjoyed it and it should be out next week at some point 😊
I am still waiting on mine so this will be good to see how it is built
I hope it comes soon 🤞 And let me tell you, it’s a brilliant model, it’s such a joy to build and then watch it go 😃
Really appreciate these videos. I’m watching from metro Atlanta in the U.S. and I’m having a HECK of a time with assembly at the 1:02:30 part of your video (getting that long waxed piece in between the sets of baskets!)
Hey Barclay, all the way from Atlanta, that’s amazing 😃
What you could try doing is sand the inside of that big side piece that goes on, and keep sanding gently until it pops in the place 😊
@@MartinsAssemblyHaven I finally got it to work, but now I’m stuck after installing the ball-moving mechanism into the base. Something is catching. I’ll just have to keep working on it.
What is it you’re trying to install?
@@MartinsAssemblyHaven I tried to put the tower of buckets into the base with the handle assembly. When I tested it out, the crank gets stuck after half a rotation.
Have you managed to loosen bits up and got it to proper working?
Watching from England
Aahh that’s brilliant, I hope you’re enjoying it 😊
thank you very much. I'm watching you from Florida
Hey Michael, you are more than welcome and I hope you find it helpful 😊 Another from the sunny Florida, amazing 😃
@@MartinsAssemblyHaven I'm watching from Florida too.
@@djam43 Aahh that’s absolutely awesome 😃
I bet it’s nice and warm there unlike rainy and grey here 🙄😅
