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!

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 Jag56Jan 5, 2013. 3:51 AM

Thanks, I can't wait to see it!

Jag56 in reply to sandroknexmasterJan 5, 2013. 8:18 AM

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 Jag56Jan 5, 2013. 9:50 AM

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

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

sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to daredevil499Dec 12, 2012. 11:57 AM

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 sandroknexmasterDec 12, 2012. 12:07 PM

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 daredevil499Dec 12, 2012. 12:21 PM

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 sandroknexmasterDec 12, 2012. 1:47 PM

wow, I only have between 6000 7000 pieces.

daredevil499 says: Dec 11, 2012. 6:52 PM

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 daredevil499Dec 12, 2012. 2:56 AM

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. =)
