I MADE A MARBLE MUSIC MACHINE (for real this time) (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone!
Do you know when you're sitting at your desk, you get an idea and think is going to be a week, two tops? And then you start designing and that alone takes a week and a half, and then printing everything takes another two weeks and by then you just are two far in to quit? Well, that happened again to my with this video. I started designing a marble dropper and one thing led to another and now we have a complete marble music machine.
The latest premise I set for myself was to have a marble music machine with everything required to make some music and it seems that I managed to do it. The machine has 8 marble droppers for eight note channels, a marble receiver and a marble lift. Everything but the note drum is printed in Anycubic clear basic resin which ended up being the best of all that I tried but I lost a LOT of time testing the printers before I realised that the resins where at fault. As a side note if you're printing with resin and are having adhesion issues set the first 10 layers to 100 seconds each and go down from that.
I really liked this build and I hope to be able to go mental with it as I have a few ideas that would make it play real music with relative low effort and maybe end up going on a world tour, who knows!
If you have any questions or comments I'd love to read them so leave them down below. Thanks!!!
