A simple marble run to test some designs i'm working on. A fun little toy for all ages.

All joints fit loosely, so the use of some superglue is needed. You'll also need to wax the moving components (offset circles and the arms).

You can find a general assembly video on Youtube: https://youtu.be/441tWKPltiM
And a video showing it in action:
