Knex Ball Machine: Dragonfire, new elements

Hi everyone

Here are some fotos and instructions of my new elements.
You can find them all in my second knex ball machine Dragonfire, if you want to see them working.
I hope everything is clear enough, if not feel free to ask.

And now let's get building!

sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to Kona-chan7 months ago

Yep :D

dickheijboer in reply to sandroknexmaster5 months ago

Te veel ja? Geef dan maar wat aan mij! Ik heb nooit genoeg.. :D

sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to dickheijboer5 months ago

Haha ik heb een beter idee!
Bouw een mega goeie ball machine, post hem NA 1 juli, en dan kan je ermee meedoen aan de knex-wedstrijd.
Bij de prijzen zit o.a. mega veel knex!
Ideaal voor u als je het mij vraagt :D

dickheijboer in reply to sandroknexmaster5 months ago

Sireus? Wow! Waar gaat dat van uit! Vertel pleas iets meer!

sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to dickheijboer5 months ago

Het enigste wat tot nu toe geweten is, is dat de wedstrijd begint op 1 juli en dat de prijzen hopen knex zijn:
http://www.instructables.com/community/Prize-ideas-for-Knex-projects/
De wedstrijd wordt georganiseerd door instructables zelf, maar ik veronderstel dat ze samenwerken met knex, want ze moeten ook hun prijzen van ergens halen. En dan wordt er waarschijnlijk reclame gemaakt hier op instructables voor de knex-site, zo gaat dat meestal ook met de andere wedstrijden.

daredevil, a replacement I use for a knex ball is a super small wiffle ball...its like 1 to 1.5 inches wide. Anything in that range would work i think.

Nice! I'll be sure to contain these new elements in my next ball machine!

sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to Jag5611 months ago

Thanks, I can't wait to see it!

Jag56 in reply to sandroknexmaster11 months ago

It won't be for awhile, probably next year unfortunately. Usually I don't go on a big ball machine spree so Yeah...:P

sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to Jag5611 months ago

Ok my next ball machine will be finished in about 2-3 months I think.

Jag56 in reply to sandroknexmaster11 months ago

Cool!

I also don't have KNEX balls

sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to daredevil49911 months ago

You can buy them here if you want:

daredevil499 in reply to sandroknexmaster11 months ago

Thanks, but I'm going to get them on ebay.

sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to daredevil49911 months ago

I'm also going to buy some new parts on ebay. Especially white connectors, because I planned to build a GIANT white floor in my next ball machine.

daredevil499 in reply to sandroknexmaster11 months ago

When I have some more cash I'm going to buy a large lot of knex, I need a lot of whites too because those are the ones I have the least of.
How many knex pieces do you have?

sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to daredevil49911 months ago

Euphoria used 17505 pieces and I think I didn't use about 7000-8000 pieces.
So my rough estimation is 24000-25000 (I'm not sure, it can be more, probably)

daredevil499 in reply to sandroknexmaster11 months ago

wow, I only have between 6000 7000 pieces.

daredevil499 says: 11 months ago

I wish I had enough knex to build a Ball machine that large.:(
But I could probably build all the elements in the first picture 3 or 4 times:)

sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to daredevil49911 months ago

When you have some knexballs you can also try to built a smaller ball machine.
They don't have to be 2 metres high to be good. =)
