This fun but challenging kit from Rokr makes a cool marble run chocolate factory that operates with a crank. There's also lights for added effect. Where to get it: www.amazon.com...
That looks amazing! The cogs might turn better after using it for a while. Also after a tip from a friend, I discovered sometimes the cogs in these kits won't turn that smooth because of using too much wax instead of too little. After removing some excess wax it went way smoother, so it's quite a balance you have to find! 😃
Oh that's very interesting and good to know! Yeah the whole wood scraping against wood thing isn't the best. I'm hoping these kits will evolve using more movement friendly options.
My wife gave me both this and the pinball kits for Christmas. I want to add some color to both before assembly. Trying to determine the best acrylic paint pens to use. I’ve enjoyed watching both of your videos on assembly, and I appreciate the tips you mentioned as you progressed through the build. I look forward to seeing your future builds.
Thank you very much! I'm delighted that you found these videos helpful. The pinball definitely would benefit with some painting. Color would add some pazazz to it. 😁
Make sure they're in the correct polarity position. I have to say that the way they did the battery pack was kind of lousy. That piece of wood that holds the pack up inside is too thin to handle the pressure that the spring puts on it. Also I think the wood has swelled over time and the crank is super hard to turn now. Make sure all the metal contacts inside are touching the batteries.
