[9v system]

greetings all, i have been absent from here for a while but i have some unfinished business with some of the modules in the project, the stepv2 have been a module that has been sitting in my gbc room for some years waiting to be rebuilt to an updated version, well that time has come, @Ankokusent me a the file for his updated version some years ago and its time to make some new instructions to replace the version currently on the first page. many changes have been done, the spiral lift being one of the biggest as it was totaly wrong. Andy bell is currently testing the build as we speak so i will post the instructions here when finished. i have to say, it runs flawlessly now with no major issues, this one have been on my to do list for many years. heres a photo of my build.

 

also on my to do list is do this updated version of the marble run, its one of the only modules i have not displayed and would like to add this to the front page, would anyone be up for doing the file? im happy to order the parts and test build it https://blog-imgs-56.fc2.com/l/e/g/legokarakuri/CIMG1859b.jpg

Ball factory update:

I finally was able to update the spiral lift and hopper of my ball factory build to be more accurate to Akiyukis version. The way the balls roll into the lift is a lot better and is based off the step v2 spiral. So far it can hold a lot of balls without jamming.

Hi There,

 

I thought I would share my version 2 of Akiuki's Zig Zag.  I wasn't real happy with the view point of the actual mechanism towards the viewers.  So I modified it to face the viewer.  The lift and the finish pull apart into 2 pieces for transport.  I also added an upper drive to keep the bottom and top of the tower in sync.  This seemed to help me avoid jams for the most part.  I hope you enjoy.
