Awesome design and brilliant thinking. Only improvement I can think of is to replace the spring and tiny ball with a 3D-printed part so I can print it today and don’t need to order parts. Should be possible.
Big fan of your work, started printing files before watching videos, I know it's going to be ultimate. Request, please share STL files for three cannon version.
Nice! 🤠 So if the track is not set up in a loop, then this could simply be used as a regular magnetic cannon with a convenient reset, to prep the magnetic cannon for the next run?. FYI, I like the version at 1:30 better than the final version merely because it's cool to see the marbles inside, plus many times in a complex track it will be difficult to remember which cannons have marbles in the input or exit ports. And a mistaken assumption could result in the track failing because it was not properly set up. The version at 1:30 allows quick visual inspection of the input and output marbles, eliminating this concern. The final version is more of a black box whose inner workings are hidden. I designed spring ends for the indexing springs that can be 3D printed without supports. That way you don't have to find a source for 6mm balls or 3D print the balls using supports. Since pasting the link here is not possible, everyone can find it by looking under the "remix" section of the original design (link in video comments above). Note that the parts should be printed in a PLA filament that is not at all sticky (usually the clear glossy PLAs), because that will cause part chatter. I find a nice matte PLA works well.

...... And the magnets work with plastic, how?

Thanks for your support! I've been working on redesigning the triple cannon and will release both the video and STL files next month. Stay tuned!
I was not even aware of this ball launching effect

Fantastic design, I love it. Now I just have to find someone willing to sell me a few.
I like your work very much!👍🏼
Simply Perfection...
Must buy a Gravitrax Starter for my Kids
Great work! Thank you for the printing files =)
Dude that's awesome!
Please add a motorised version soon it would be so awesome
Gravitrax needs to pay you a load of money for this if you want to sell it!
Such a great design! Any way to buy this at any vendor? 'Cause I don't own a 3D printer...
I love you so much youre the best
Man…. You’re still the Uhltimate.
i need this for hextraction game
❤
i want exactly that as an Power part
Ravensburger is coming out with a Vertical cannon in September that is a lot like this...
@@MaskedMarble I know but its not automatic
@FyTrax I think it would be possible to modify the POWER Lever to make one that is automatic.
@@MaskedMarble yea thought of that already this would be my next Projekt
