Selected User Reviews For Marble Genius Automatic Chain Lift - Marble Run Accessory Add-On Set

This is good, but not perfect
4/5

I recommend buying three. In a nutshell, Since then, I have slowly assembled a large collection of Marble Genius pieces (and those from other compatible sets). These were $10 and I grabbed three as soon as I saw them. In the attached video, I only use ONE of the products in order to show you the amount of sales and what you get from a normal purchase and how simple I built it. A few things to be thankful for It is relatively quiet because of the motors. There are many features that make it a superior solution.
+ It works in 95% of cases.
+ It allows the marbles to be continuously swung
+ It has an adjustable chain length! additional links than is needed to reach the top of your page. (I left out 3 links from the video or there would be an excessive amount of exaggerated shock. ) Lastly, the price! $10 for a motorized elevator at Now is the time to buy. There is only one bad thing I. - Not nearly enough of the little marble catchers are included. I. - Due to tension pulling the top piece a little bit off level/flat, it can cause the marbles to not roll out at the top, and when another marble is dropped off, it will jam and the whole chain will come to a halt. Having a much steeper drop on the top piece might make it possible for those marbles to move out of the way so the top won't be accidentally stuck if it's not I. - Choosing the right marble size for this project is a bit of an art. Marble Genius marbles will work fine. If they are too big or small, they can jam at the top or fall out. I have a lot of marbles from various sources that have a tendency to jam or fall out. I. - When the bottom loading section gets backlogged, a marble can end up on top of another and fall out of the machine as it is lifted up. So, my title says look to buy 3 of those because at least by doing this you can form one long chain that is 6 ft tall. Because I have not tried that yet, I am not sure the motor will be strong enough to drive The 2-pack costs just $10, so you could take it 1 set of 3, 3 sets of 2 and 3 sets of 1 Lifts that are nearly twice as tall. Additionally, having all the extra marble seating is a very valuable addition. The current version of the software does not have nearly enough features. attach all the little seats to the chain of one lift so that it could pump out more and more marbles if I put all three lifts together. When the product arrives, the chain is in a bunch of individual segments, which you simply In order for the 'seats' to connect where each segment connected to the other, I had spaced them accordingly, but I was surprised when the number of seats didn't match You can see in the video that the seats are still spaced quite a bit, but there is a rather large section (nearly half the chain) where there are no seats! At least they should double the number of those little seats! I've listed them on my website now The arrangement makes them look like more, but I thought it helpful to convey just how few I'm guessing the motor can handle a bunch more marbles and seats in the lift (since I've hooked three lift seats onto one chain This is not shown in the The light can be found at the following link if interested You can buy an up piece that makes noise.

The purchase is worth it, but it needs some adjustments for it A preassembled drive chain is sent to the customer
4/5

This would make it easy to make the drive chain loop by connecting them all together. Nevertheless, I learned there is a reason the instructions state how many links you need to use in the chain, as extra links are being provided. There are a few links you must remove. The hard way. (Learned this lesson The drive gear is only loosely attached to the motor drive spindle, so the chain loop tends to shift when the motor is running. It is necessary to have a precise clearance at the pickup station. Consequently, the marble scoops often catch as they enter the pickup station, flinging the marbles into the air (and causing the cat to laugh. Widening the opening with a soldering iron was easy for me. To conclude, the scoops themselves are held parallel to the chain only Due to this, many "droop", which can lead to marbles dropping. To stabilize, you will probably need to glue or tape some cardboard to the underside near the chain. A lot of fun, but not out of the ordinary In my opinion, we are at the point where's the box's ready.

I love it
5/5

In a nutshell, My 5 and 6 year old daughters are in love with it and it works just as described. As you can see, we have a lot of Marble Genius pieces. My understanding is that there are two extreme sets. It's likely that I am going to get another chain lift so we can start at a higher level. In the video, you can see it newly assembled with only a few pieces connected, so the kids can get a gist of what it looks like. The creative process can begin now!.

Make sure chain links face the right way with the paddles facing the right way as well
4/5

In a nutshell, The system works as long as you align all the chain links in the same direction and the ball paddles face the right direction when going up. If the chain links are not aligned in the correct direction, the ball paddle could sag enough to drop the balls as they ascend. To serve as a guide, please note the direction of chain link hooks in my photo. One review noted a jamming of the paddle seat where the marble is picked up. It was not until I corrected the chain links above that I was able to resolve the issue. On two of my pictures, you can see how the self-aligning channel guides slight misalignment while allowing the camera to move freely and In addition, it contributes to the formation of a rigid structure to hold chains in place. It takes about a minute and fifteen seconds for a marble to travel up and down both sides of the lifts, as illustrated in the images below. There are two chain lifts and six supporting columns used.

The enhancement is very well-made and brilliant! In the first place, I'd like to mention that some reviewers might have assembled this wrong, which caused With the chain lift tight around the gears, even a tiny bit of slack will be unacceptable
5/5

Specifically, I have 11 of those pipe pieces, starting below boarding station (green), going all the way to the top of the exit station (white), plus one entrance piece and one exit piece, so the total should be 12 for each side. As long as both gears are still open when the chain is wrapped around them, it is a good start. Once I have locked the two ends chains together and they are tightly coiled around both gears, I turn the pawl. Initially, it may look as if there is a gap between the two ends of the chain, but they will meet up with some effort (you may have to add or remove a link). To be honest, I've only had a marble go missing on one occasion out of my many successful runs. You can purchase this for I'd like to receive $10. 00 You have my full attention. Chains of varying heights can be used to construct fairly intricate marble runs. In addition, I printed some extra marble seats so that I could add them to the chain of six that comes I consider this to be a winning addition to the Genius set and a super easy one to build.
