About this model
Introducing Apex—an entrancing 3D printed marble machine. Watch the marbles carefully as the spiral lifts them up, and they weave down a plinko board, stairs, and various other tracks. The machine uses 8mm or 5/16" marbles (the distinction is negligible), but can be scaled up proportionally to use larger marbles. Video: If you like marble machines, check out some of my other work! Dimensions: -Length: 6.75" (170mm) -Width: 5.75" (150mm) -Height: 5.5" (140mm) *Please ensure ball bearings are out of reach for children under 5, as they present a potential choking hazard. Note that the 8mm ball bearings are considerably smaller than normal marbles (which allows the design to be more intricate).
