Let me know if you have any success, don't be aftraid to tinker with it and be creative.

[@wouterreuling6100]

Very nice and honest with it it has inspired me so I'm going to try to make it

[@gfotinakes316]

Just keep tickering with the drop and improvise whatever catch you want. My grandchildrenvlove to operate the "machine" so they can have their 2 gumballs for the visit.

[@natearch80]

I built this for my daughter and the gumballs get "stove piped" a majority of the time. Is there anything else I could do to help fix that?

[@gfotinakes316]

Try to see where it is happening, just as they leave the jar, in the vertical shaft, or as they enter the shelf. The only thing I think you could try is to manually carve out the area where the gumballs fall into a funnel and see if that helps. The larger the ball the easier it will jam, conversly you migh try a smaller candy and see if it works better. I just bought new gumballs and they seem to be getting stuck more often. They may be slightly larger and are not exact spheres. When you find a way to get it working better please let me know.

George would you have a pattern that you could e mail please thank you

[@gfotinakes316]

Sorry, I don't have a pattern. I just think it through and then tinker with it until it runs smoothly.
