Who else thought this was on The second channel when they clicked? Good to see you here.
i also thought "Wow even his second channel has >2 million followers - amazing!" hahaha
Same, same XD
wait, there was a 1st channel?
you just made me realise it wtf, did i just got pranked?
Aye
Martin, you keep saying you’re ashamed at how long it’s taking and how you’ve made mistakes. Art and engineering share many things in common including discovery and learning. When some artists make a work, they don’t always plan on where it’s going to take them and in many cases they don’t even know what it is going to be. Engineering tries to plan for things but can similarly lead to things unknown that can force you to reevaluate. You are an excellent example of both an engineer and an artist. Take it easy on yourself! You are doing fine! The journey is more important than the destination.
Agreed!! This is Mars Perseverance level of engineering in a lot of ways.
I agree with this post 100%. Martin is building this for a specific use case that requires both extreme durability and extreme reliability. This is causing all of the extra engineering work. If this build were for studio work, Martin would be finished. The occasional jams and dropped marbles would be a minor annoyance in the studio but could be a catastrophe on tour. "Take it easy on yourself! You are doing fine", indeed!
If he finishes before SLS launches, he's well ahead of schedule
Great comment, Matt!
Him apologizing and saying he’s ashamed all the time is because the law of Jante runs so deep in his scandinavian weins. google ”Law of Jante” and you will understand. :) Kämpa på Martin, du gör ett fantastiskt jobb!
Mario running left is proof that Martin has gone mad.
Seriously, though. I've been thinking about something for a few months, and I don't know if it helps, but I sure hope so, because I love watching this whole process. The point is, to me Martin is a man of the renaissance in that he's dedicating his whole life to his magnum opus. I find that extremely admirable. Going through the experimentation, the frustration, and the successes. That, to me, is what we humans came to this world to do.
So I salute you, Martin, and all the people who support the MMX project. You're what greatness looks like to me.
No no, that was Luigi, everyone know Luigi runs left, right?
He's not mad, he's trying for a glitch!
This is the secret mmx level.
I think the 'slow descent into madness' subplot is what I really enjoy the most about your show.
That table really needs some raised edges to catch the marbles when testing.
And that test rig needed a funnel to fill it faster :P
I was thinking gutters with a collection system, like a pool table
@@evanbarnes9984 yeah and if you add a simple contraption that moves those marbles to the top and makes them take a detour to hit a xylophone and some drums aaand maybe a bass guitar too on the way down in a programmable manner it would be a cool instrument to go on a world tour with
marbles dropping on the floor is part of his character he won't do it
just, like... a dice tray or equivalent would be fine. A small but movable tray with a bit of padding to dampen things, which can contain marbles.
The problem with the ? mark design is that if the wood gets worn down over time at all it might create a dent that the marble sits in causing a jam
a piece of PTFE at the spot would stop them from getting stuck
Well…. Maybe 3D print the whole thing?
he should get the final designs and have them machined out of aluminum / plastic or resin printed
It can be a problem with every design tbh. Not only the "?" mark one.
@@antoinefdu exactly- the plywood will eventually wear down, much faster than other materials
Four words: constant-radius marble divider. "This will be a game-changer!"
If Martin doesn't try that divider design I swear I'm going on strike against watching Wintergatan videos
... for like a day probably before I come crawling back
@@OntarioTrafficMan LOL!!!
True but it won't solve this problem. This is all about reducing pressure at the gates.
*cough* that might have the same result that Martin is getting from this "game changer"
Yup, the two combined will sort all the custom parts. Just think how long it would take to add all the height adjusting modules as well as all the pressure modules. Get this pressure module working and a constant radius marble divider and every channel can use the same parts.
9:20 this is Nintendo's group of lawyers with a cease and desist.
Imagine the excitement of the people just now realizing they've got 20 odd videos to catch up on... I'm very jealous.
However. Imagine waiting a month and a half only to discover that he was posting daily?
@@zack3135 All comes down to whether you see the glass half-filled or half-empty.
@@algallero3310 Or as the engineer half full of air half of water
I found it when it was 5 to 10 videos in, and it was indeed a good day.
@@peterhuelsing8231 or double the size necessary, kind of like how Martin realized how he had double the number of channels he needed to hold all his videos
14:04 - "Wilson, Food time!"
xD
9:20 Martin: This bad boy can fit so many washers in it
i find it hilarious that martin still doesn't put a shallow dish under his test rig to contain the marbles
tells quite a lot about his engineering and solution finding skills
@@rigdigwusmore like taste in long term trolling
His dish is his entire room
9:20 Martin definitely lost his Mariobles.
Had to scroll way down. Lost it at the washers.
I am constantly surprised at how Martin keeps finding new ways to lose his marbles.
4:15 the hodler! I'm glad you don't have paper hands
haha glad i'm not the only one who heard that
If you know, you know.
we definitely need a wintergatan coin with Wilson as logo
I would rather this project take 5 years and it be so amazingly documented on youtube, successes and follies, than to see you on tour later this year. Take your time and stop feeling guilty, we LOVE the content we love YOU. :)
14:04 I think it's key here to not allow two marbles to actually stand straight on top of each other to jam up. Basically take design no. 4 but with a longer curve (closer to a zig zag maybe)?
Yeah I agree because the first thing I noticed while looking at the second and third models was the fact that the last 2 marbles were directly on top of each other so when you tilt them gravity doesn't exert much force on the marble just before the last one and it could get wedged up there
This could mean that marbles that are straight on top of each other are a no-go for this kind of lane in any shape(???)
I might be totally wrong as well
I think this needs lots of experimentation just like anything else on the machine
Martin, why don’t you angle your table and put a raised edge on the perimeter? You could have all the marbles collect into a corner and be less demotivating when prototyping 🤷♂️
Absolutely
I would use a big bucket, but that works.
keep the table flat but use a magnetic fence to catch them without interfering with the function of the table
Wintergatan 2: electric boogaloo
daily vids on the second channel, now that's dedication. Both channels are legendary
Tag 2: Electric Boogaloo? Grian is that you?
Hmmm idunno. Will there be a 3 boogaloo lol
"in plywood I cannot recreate it so I made..." well, you can clearly see that the correct way of dealing with this issue is simply to use another material as brilliantly showed by Rosero. I think this is an example of where the overengineering comes from ;)
7:31
"Marbles are EVIL"
- Martin 2021
9:14 was everything I wanted in life.
So glad to hear Martin say he's a working on his mindset to not punch himself for not being able to predict the unpredictable
We were driving through our neighborhood and my daughter yelled out listen dad it’s Wintergarten, she was right there it was construction workers building a house listening to to your original song. Well how about a new marble song for all of your fans...
14:05 "Wilson, food time!" was the most adorable thing I've seen this week!
Holy crap! The patron count... IT'S OVER 9000!!!!
WHAT 9000?!!!
What you need to consider is that, in time, due to repeated impacts, the marbles will create small divets in the surface of the plywood which will act like potholes, getting the marbles stuck in them, like with the ? design.
This is a non-issue, it doesn't wear quick enough to be an issue during a single song or even a concert probably, but even so he would bring spare parts just on principle even if the machine could theoretically play forever in this hypothetical concert.
@@Loriethalion It is an issue. It's unrealistic to change all the marble drops after every single song.
9:15 The Mario thing made me burst out laughing. Thanks Martin!
Martin, please don't feel ashamed for taking too long. No one watched Lord of The Rings for Frodo dropping the Ring into the lava; they watched it because of the journey and the challenges everyone went through.
Personally, It's the journey, not the destination, I'm here for.
Not that I won't be super excited for the "completed" MMX, but I will also be super sad that I can't be here every day/week watching this monsterpiece come together.
Martin: you guys, I need to make fewer videos to help me focus more on finishing the machine.
Also Martin: you guys, I'm going to make videos every day to help me focus more on finishing the machine.
exactly..
also Martin: i'm going to do it on a different channel
Someone else is editing these for him
@@Abra089 that makes sense
Take your time, get it right, don’t give up!
You’re doing great!
Keep in mind that the great automatons of old would take many years to build and often had more than one person working on them. Often a master and several apprentices. The master would have spent their entire life building these things, and have the benefit of themselves once being an apprentice learning from their master, and even if they didn't, they usually came in from a tangentially related field where they had a lot of relevant experience (like watchmaking). All we see is the finished result with no context of what they took to build.
there was a second channel? so that's why I haven't seen any MMX stuff.
RIP :(
now you have a lot to watch ... enjoy it
The second channel is seriously awesome! Doesn't replace the main channel niche, but it the design and vlog style is fun :)
I snorted when he did his Mario impression
Same! It was priceless!
I liked it, too. But why is mario runing into the wrong direction?
Respect from Russia, we see your work, you are good, be happy man, we love you!
Martin, while in your design process you have been starting to analyze the vector forces one marble imposes on the next, you have been ignoring the rotational forces and coefficients of friction. Looking at the hang in the question mark design at time 13:28, the bottom marble (#1) needs to rotate counterclockwise however it cannot because the friction between the top (#2) and bottom (#1) marbles exceeds the force of rotation and the static coefficient of friction between the track and marble #1 prevents marble #1 from sliding down and to the left along the track. Similarly, marble #2 is rotating clockwise while moving until it comes to rest on top of marble #1, at which time it has 4 points of contact and friction (marble #3, top of track, right of track and contact with marble #1). The stack pressure being exerted from marble #3 onto marble #2 is locking everything in place. In order for marble #1 to be able to resume its motion, there are three possibilities. Either the friction between marble #1 and the track has to be reduced to allow it to slide when it cannot rotate, the friction between marble #2 and marble #1 has to be decreased so that the rotational force of marble #1 exceeds the static coefficient of friction between marbles #1 and #2, or the vector force on marble #1 in the left lateral direction has to be increased to overcome the friction between marbles #1 and #2 and between marble #1 and the track. My suggestion would be to change the track angle beneath marble #1 (steeper) so that marble #1 can overcome the static coefficient of friction with the track. I would also change the angle of the track to the right of marbles #1 and #2 such that when at rest marble #2 does not sit directly on top of marble #1, sitting 45 degrees off center to the right, increasing the lateral vector force while decreasing the coefficient of friction between marbles and between marble #1 and the track.
^^This^^
@Wintergatan, look at here!
Brilliant analysis.
im gonna pretend i understood and read all of that
9:30 This was brilliant. Premium content, 5 of 5 , would watch again!
Would the marbles ever realistically get stuck with the vibration/motion of the MMX? They only seem to get stuck in the vice-stabilized testing.
Was wondering this as well
that exacly what I think
Even if it gets stuck for a second that is still a problem
Have you heard of Murphy's law? ;)
is it stuck only if pushed too far up!?
9:15 of all these years watching Wintergatan this is by far the funniest/silliest moment ever hahahahahahahahaha
So if some of the gates tilting backward is causing a problem it sounds like them not being vertical is a problem unless it is 100% required.
It is Marble Track Monday my dudes...
Indeed it is my fellow friend, and back on the main channel!

You should keep posting short, lower-effort videos on the second channel just so we can get in-between updates and more content in general. Keep this channel around 15 minutes, keep the second channel around 5-10 minutes of edited footage, that way you don't have to worry about creating content for almost-daily videos and we still get our fix
Yes! Haven’t seen a MMX video in so long I’m overjoyed that the next one is here!! Never going to stop watching till the end :)
Super Marble Machine X was just the laugh I needed!
Martin, Could it be that the pressure of the marbles hitting over and over against the wood is causing it to dent, leaving indents where a marble can hit and get stuck??
Or the plywood has a tiny bit of give, which creates more surface area for the marble to push, more friction ?
Anyways, using a thin metal piece there should allow him to try.
No and yes.
No because it would take quite long for it to happen as the marbles don't move with a lot of kinetic force because he made the channels so that the marbles have to roll longer which removes a lot of kinetic force because they have to travel longer. They don't carry enough force to create a dent in the wood fast enough that it would become a problem during a performance or concert.
Long term the answer is yes, because wood is softer then the metal marbles it will eventually create dents and wear that will cause them to get stuck, but that is a non-issue because he would bring spare parts on principle.
My name is not Martin and I am obviously not Martin but I hope this answer is somewhat satisfactory.
Such a nice touch to have the patrons scroll in sync with the music in the end of the video ❤️
Really happy to see the curved walls replaced by (mostly) square walls! This is key to reducing the contact size and therefore friction between marble and wall. This friction is the only thing which can make a marble defy gravity.
I think you can add back the look-through effect - at least if you put the "windows" into it where the marbles are dropping or rolling freely. Remember the top and bottom edges to the window can be slanted so that you get a slightly wider view into the hole when seen from below or above.
Wilson is such a messy eater!
lol
"PLMA hodler"
someone's been to wallstreetbets it seems
I actually found this channel through the Wintergatan 2 channel. I saw the original marble machine viral video 4 years ago but I had no idea that you posted regularly or were making another machine until about 1 month ago. Its been really fun to watch the progress on all the marble contraptions so far, and there are plenty of older videos I can watch to see how the machine was constructed!
I really enjoyed the second channel, I am quite happy to watch videos about your time in the shop. I don't need highly produced videos, just being along with you on the journey of making this amazing contraption is why I'm watching. If you want to make story quality videos that's fine, but please don't quit having us along in the shop.
So, you're embarassed by how long it is taking, but the truth is, I'm gonna he really sad when its done because I dont get anymore update videos.
Another project is coming after, this is a prtotype
This is exactly my thoughts. Selfishly I want this to go on forever! 😅
I feel like 3 is the safest bet, sacrificing such a drastically low pressure for not getting stuck is well worth it.
Your feeling of beating yourself up over not being done is astounding to me. Look at what you have created! It is an engineering and musical masterpiece!!! I love watching and seeing all the improvements you do. Keep it up :D
I really love this new phase of development. I loved the concept from the beginning and it's a super-ambitious project. I don't think you could have really known where the problems were going to be or how to get around them until you had somewhat of a prototype. Now that you are breaking down each problem, identifying all the aspects of each piece, this has taken on new life and I'm excited for every video I see and for the day when this finally gets to go on tour. I have no doubt that you will succeed, we are all rooting for you!
You could probably make the zig zag pretty much vertical, rather than like a stair case, that'll make the angle matter a lot less, and the pressure displacement should still be similar.
I don't know why he doesn't have the marble feed vertical, like the original design suggestion.
@@normanlorrain probably to do with the positioning of the instruments/marble divider
When geometry is so crucial, is plywood durable enough?
Yeah, not sure why he is hung up on using plywood. Something with less deformation and less friction - also sticking with the simpler design...
I was thinking the same. with all the test, I can see some parts of the mmx wearing out, causing more problems
This is a huge discussion on discord your always welcome to input your own suggestions.
Plywood is strong enough to build house with. So.. Yeah.
I think that CNC milled aluminum would be nice.
Really loving the new format! Please keep it up. Also, the gag with the "?" block from Mario was hilarious! Thank you.
Never lose the humor, this is a marathon not a sprint. The MMX is truly majestic as you refine and reiterate and learn the true depths of the physics behind the marval. Keep learning and keep smiling as you do it. We are here with you
I can barely imagine the joy of the people who just realized they had 23 Wintergatan 2 videos to catch up on...
It's Binge Wednesday my dudes!
I didn't even realise that this video was not on wintergatan 2
You are not alone
same lol
Imagine discovering wintergatan2 right now, with all the video to go and check.
martin, it's less likely to get stuck because of the vibration of the machine, if it still worries you you can add a arm from the gate into the presser reliever to act as a pusher, and as a second gate if you make it long enough, also don't feel embarrassed ashamed, or anything of the sort, this is amazing concept and you actually making a REAL machine is both revolutionary, and amazing. this is a hard thing to due. and hardly anyone has tried it, and even less succeeded. bt actually doing it. your making history. keep up the amazing work, and i'll see you in the next video
Nice work Martin! Glad to see it's back on the main channel!
The last "question mark" track you can see where the marble leaves a dent in the wood, which may explain why it's getting stuck. Got to do something to harden the interior surfaces of the plywood marble paths. An epoxy or urethane/polyurethane resin of some sort should be able to do it. Then it's just a matter of soaking it, coating it, sanding it, and polishing it. And it'll be harder and less prone to wear or damage from the marbles going over it. That's why a plastic or metal version of the same part will work vs. plywood, they don't dent or mar as easily. Wood will need some finishing done to deal with the same conditions.
Is plywood porous? If so couldn’t he replace the air inside with resin using a vacuum chamber?
Martin: "I need VERY precise marble tracks or they won't work!"
Also Martin: makes them out of wood.....
@@ronald2042 there are some really precise cncs, but his cnc router is not that precise
There are a lot of "soft" materials that would work well in this application, but i guess Martin thinks it will ruin the look of the machine. He's always talking about making compromises between the artistic and practical sides, yet he never really follows through with it.
@@2nd_bloxx I guess a CNC is more precise than the natural movement of wood under humidity changes... The thing is, this pieces looks like they need machinist precision, not woodworker precision
What do you want him to make them out of? Metal? Plastic? CAD machines are very precise and in his case, the one he's both the most familiar with and the fastest / most accessible.
@@2nd_bloxx "not that precise" compared to a CNC mill or something like that. But I work with similar CNC routers, and they're accurate to within 5 thou or so when you tune them up well. That's plenty accurate for wood. Of course, I have know idea how well Martin keeps his CNC tuned, and I swear that sometimes if you look at them wrong they go out of tram for spite
Hey man, Just wanted to tell you I love the daily video's on the 2 channel - even if progress seems slow, being able to follow almost every step is absolutely amazing.
Ah, love to see my Wilson tag
“Marbles are evil”
Words to live by
Marbles killed my parents
Love the hair, Martin!
I have been fascinated by the successes and the failures of this project. Your tenacity in overcoming the barriers has been an encouragement in ways you have no idea of. Even in writing music, the same barriers can exist. As an amateur arranger, I find myself in the same predicaments as you run into with the engineering of MMX. Having to learn new chords and chord progressions has been my bain. So, I will persist as you will. Keep up the great work. I currently have too many "Projects" that I bounce back and forth from, but I do have in my future a Big Band arrangement of "Marble Machine". Some how, I'll find a way to swing that piece.
When art and engineering mix, it takes a whole lot of tweaking. This project is genius. If it was quick and easy, everyone would be doing it.
I can’t wait to see this on stage

I love the journey you're sharing with us. Thank you!
looking good in that new hair cut!

Somewhat unsurprisingly, there seems to be a trade-off between marble output pressure and tendency to jam.
"Tendency to jam" also describes Martin quite well.
I missed you!!! Had no idea about this second channel!! I'll subscribe right away!
that super mario part was priceless 🤣❤️❤️
Martin, give the plywood time to wear and adapt to the marbles. Please consider also spraying the channels with graphite.
"I have a small scale here[...]" for small scale experiments? *bdum-tsss*
I have been watching your channel for a while, as a disabled millwright I find it very interesting. I also noticed your problems you have from alignment issues, friction, etc. Almost all of your problems that you have are due to you using strictly wood as a main material. The use of additional compatible materials combined with the design, would in fact, simply solve most of your problems. Along with this it would also help for the ease of maintenance and longevity of the machine. Also coming up with required maintenance with the use of mean between failure is necessary for longevity The reason his gate seems to work better is because using synthetic material that does not malform with use, means the tolerances stay standard rather than self adjust due to use and pressure. Just an observation. I do enjoy you working out the issues and finding standard solutions in the industry that I did for many decades, though longevity is going to be an issue with your chosen medium. Your thought processes are a little out there sometimes, but the passion is great.
Feels good to be subscribed to both channels 😂 Now I don’t have to worry about missing context or care about on which channel is uploaded 😆
This channel is the only meaning in life at the moment, besides the other channel
We have gathered here today for the once in a while upload on the main channel
the funny thing is all the things that went into reducing vibration, but vibration would make those pressure reducers all work properly. maybe the plywood makes this way harder than it could be
I am just addicted to all things Wintergatan: fails, successes, world tour, no world tour, memes, wintergatan 2... no matter what you post or where, I just love consuming all your content Martin, I don't know why, I'm not an engineer or a maker, but I can't stop watching
If the design failed when you tilted it back, create an adaptor before it so you can keep it at 90 degrees
14:05 Wilson isn’t paid enough for that kind of abuse!🤕
Glad you are back!

@@ckv954 well, at least you have something to do ;p
what a sad life...
4:16 HODLER, this was not a mistake
9:14 Alright, now we have to hear the Mario theme played on the MMX when it's finished!
Im glad you are back here
Everytime the marbles get stuck, you push them in a little bit with your finger. Marbles getting pushed back up is not a MMX-scenario.
At least it looks to me like that.
yeh im sure in one design it was a lack of weight issue where the marble martin put back in didn't roll along, if it had the weight would of maintained the flow, i think, needs an auto tester, a mini fishtail elevator that loads marbles in from and angled collection tray, could test a design overnight then.
it's kind of silly to assume that a scenario like that will never come up on a whole world tour... especially since martin is probably the type to find a way to stick his fingers in to clear a jam while performing
Thinking there could be too much friction between marbles and plywood for these gates. I would try either 3D printing these or machining out of aluminum. The high friction coefficient might cause the marbles to be more likely to become stuck.
I was going to suggest something like delrin, or HDPE. Machinable, more stable than wood, and plastic is self lubricating
Well, graphite lubricant in the gate at the least.
@@Stereomoo: no no no - the graphite gunks up everything. See the red towel video in Wintergatan 2.
@@kjetilho Certainly it stains things, I wouldn't say it conclusively made marbles sticky.
@@Stereomoo martin has run into issues with the marbles gunking up. They're not stainless so they have a thin oily coating. Over time this absorbed the graphite.
He then tried to clean the *non-stainless* steel marbles with dish soap (removing the oil and adding salt) and dry them with a hairdryer....
I had no idea there was another channel. I was thinking "oh go something catastrophic happened with the MMX and he can't even find it in himself to update us" for weeks lol. But hey, now I know I have a bunch more videos to go watch.
It's a fun journey, that's where I found him mid-updates. Get ready for a lot of this with the marble lanes.
The real thrill of the channel comes with the one on one presentation of all the results. Alle the wins and all the fails. No prepared success, no cheating 👍
