Knex Ball Machine - Off the Wall
Here's the most recent project of mine. Its a ball machine build entirely in my bathroom. It was a fun challenge and produced a very unique ball machine I think. Nothing too fantastic in terms of elements or anything. The triple loop, chain slide, the geared ferris wheel and perhaps the double helix thingys are the only things worth really noting.
Anyway, hope you folks like it. Sorry about the photos being so dark, its hard to get good lighting in a small room with no windows.
Enjoy!

How long does it take for the ball to travel all the way around?
That's very impressive, if I tried that my dad would axe it all down and tell me to clean up the mess haha. Very cool!
Thanks!
Just kidding. That is sick man, can't wait to see what's next.
I LIKE IT!!! XD

Nice job though, and it bring small entertainment to anyone that's using the bathroom.
I never actually showered in that tub, we have a nicer shower that we use instead.
Look on craigslist. Tons of cheap Knex on there.
