It's funny because for my rotating ball machine I've use too a chain mechanism and 3 12v motors, but yours is working more smoothy than my one. I start follow you 7 years ago and you are my favorite knexer :-)
wow! 7 years, thats crazy. Thanks for following me for so long :). Did you use a piece of plexi glass like I did? It works a lot better if you use a sheet of plexi glass underneath the floor that rotates.
No, (I think I've forget to say that my rotating machine is 45° tilted) I've use a triple rails support system (2 circular rails under the plateform, and 1 central circular rails on the support shaft), with an iron rod for the central axel because it was too heavy for a dark rigid rod, and the whole thing is tracted by a gear box composed by 3 motors
um.... ow ? kind of hurts seeing it getting destroyed /= but it's impressive to see the mechanism under it ! again, awesome job on it ! really impressive EDIT: oboi even more element instructions 0.o my bm is gonna be themed on your elements XD
Lesson learned: what’s cool isn’t always what you see on the surface. So, does that use multiple motors to drive the turntable, or is that little side system the only motor that actually turns the machine?
There are 3 motors in total to rotate the machine. There was 1 motor underneath the side system and 2 on the right. It had just enough power to rotate the machine for about 4 hours after it started slowing down.
Basically? yeah it does. I Always liked deconstructing my machines. because having a machine in the middle of your room gets really annoying after a while XD
