Spencer worked in TinkerCAD to develop a model for the surface of the toy. The design uses ridges on a flat surface to hopefully create a path for the marble to easily maneuver through. The 3D printing process takes a while even for such a small design.
This is the TinkerCAD model shown above after it has been successfully printed. It came out looking exactly like the model however the marble did not move along the surface as we had hoped it would. After 4 hours of printing we are going to scrap the idea of the ridges on a flat surface and use a more basic approach for the surface. We are going to put stoppers every few centimeters so that the marble will follow a certain course.
