About this 3D model

How many mechanical components are necessary to lift a marble from the end of a marble run track to the beginning? Well in "Marblevator, Rube Goldberg Style" I added as many as I could to create this Rube Goldberg / Erector Set themed Marblevator. The marble lift incorporates quite a few mechanical components including a cam arm, scotch yoke, rack gear, pinion gear, clevis arm and clevis, a clevis track for the clevis to follow, a pivoting clevis to coordinate arm movement, an arm to which a marble pick up mechanism is attached and finally a marble pick up mechanism itself, all to simply move a marble from the end to the beginning of a marble track. In memory Rube Goldberg and his wonderfully complicated machines. As usual I probably forgot a file or two or who knows what else, so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask as I do make plenty of mistakes. Designed using Autodesk Fusion 360, sliced using Ultimaker Cura 4.12.1, and 3D printed in PLA on Ultimaker S5s.
