About this 3D model

The is a listing for all the STL files and build instructions to be able to make your very own 3D printed version of Infinity Trax magnetic modular magnetic marble run! This is the 'Turing Edition' which means it includes all the trick and track sections, as well as the Achimedes screw lift mechanism, and the LED and Audio tyrack sections too! I have other pack options with different trick and track sections available in my store, so check them out if you're interested. So what is Infinity Trax? Well, it's a modular magnetic marble run that can be built (and re-built as many times as you want) on metallic vertical surfaces such as fridges or magnetic whiteboards. It's part puzzle, part STEM toy, part artwork, and a truly unique marble run with more possible track designs than there are atoms in the universe! Here’s a some videos showing what the marble run is all about (noting that not all the track sections you see may be available in this particular listing): Video 1 Video 2 Video 3 Video 4 Video 5 Due to the free form nature of track design, it transcends from 'just another marble run' to a mesmerising super-puzzle which provides endless hours of creative problem solving, imaginative play and is the toy that will be the most played with more than any other in the house. Because making new tracks is easy and intuitive, the limiting factor to marble run glory is imagination and creativity, making it the perfect way to engage those beautiful brain cells. Don't be fooled though, simple is not the same as easy - you'll need to manage marble speed, and plan your run carefully in order to achieve true marble run greatness! In the 'Turing Edition' there are 22 unique trick and track sections with over 190 separate STL files. Everything has been tested, and waiting for you to jump in and play. Here's the pieces you'll be able to make: Archimedes screw Lift Archimedes screw lift extension Audio Section LED section The Arm Flex Straight 10cm Straight 20cm Flex Track Mini Bend The Wheel The Corner The Double Backflip The Manual Launcher Third Dimension The switch The switchback The orbit Orbit return The Valley The Hill Zig-Zag Third Dimension Included in the download is a full 16 page set of instructions with links to build guide videos, as well as a detailed read-me section which has tips on best practices for 3D printing your track. You'll need to buy magnets, as well as some glue and other small items to make your track. I made a shopping list which will be included with your download so you'll be able to easily purchase everything you need to make your marble run. The cost for materials for one track section is around $1 if you shop on Amazon, or around $0.50 on aliexpress. The cost for the materials for one Archimedes screw lift is around $25 if you buy on Amazon, or around $12 on aliexpress. To make the LED and audio track sections you'll get a shopping list for bits you'll need to purchase from the (insanely awesome) tinycircuits.com. The cost for the electronics required for the LED track section is $25, and the cost for the Audio track section is around $55. Links to the pieces you need to purchase will be provided, along with instruction on how to upload your Arduino sketch to your finished part. You don't need a soldering iron to be able make the LED or Audio track sections, and prior knowledge of Arduino is not essential (but a willingness to learn always goes a long way). n.b. You will also need to use a soldering iron to be able to make the Archimedes screw lift. In order to be able to make this, you will need a 3D printer with a bed size of 20x20x20cm This is a non-commercial license, but if you want a commercial license for my entire portfolio of products, just head here: More info: ✅ You can use the files for personal purposes only.⛔ You cannot use the files for commercial purposes of any kind⛔ You cannot share, redistribute or resell the files.⛔ You cannot make make physical versions for commercial purposes⛔ You cannot edit, or redesign the files for commercial purposes of any kind⛔ Copyright is not transferable with the sale.
