video Knex Ball Machine: Euphoria
Hey guys

After a lot of troubles with making the video, I am proud to present you my third knex ball machine, Euphoria.
This is absolutely the best ball machine I ever build untill now.
Euphoria contains 10 paths, 11 lifts and....... 4 networks!
There are some new elements and 2 new lifts.
The first one is the lift in network 2 and the second new lift is the last one in network 4.
Build time: 28/05/2012 till 14/08/2012 (inclusive 2 weeks of vacation)
Height: 1.95m Width: 1.75m Depth: 1.35m
Pieces: 17505

Thanks to all ball machine builders for so much inspiration!

Here are the instructions for the new elements!
Here are the instructions for the new lift in network 2!
Here are the instructions for the new lift in network 4!

Woah, Sandro!!! I saw you liked a few of my things, so I came to your profile. I don't think anymore needs to be said other than the fact that I'm subscribing... Your ball machines are wickedly awesome!

Wat gebeurt er als je gewoon alle motors aan zet? Vallen de ballen veel van de baan af?
sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to dickheijboerMay 15, 2013. 1:03 PM
Ja toch wel, maar vooral omdat er 2 liften waren die vaak vastliepen. De paden zelf lukten meestal vrij goed.
dickheijboer in reply to sandroknexmasterMay 15, 2013. 11:18 PM
Welke liften waren dat? Ook de "Counter Parallel Arm Lift"?
sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to dickheijboerMay 16, 2013. 8:44 AM
Nee die niet, de laatste lift van netwerk 1 (wheel lift) en de laatste van netwerk 2 (chainsaw lift).
dickheijboer in reply to sandroknexmasterMay 16, 2013. 9:17 AM
Ok. :p

doesnt every one call u that? is it sandra 4 real?
sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to Penguin knexer is the bestMar 14, 2013. 2:02 PM
Most people say sandroknexmaster, but sandro is easier to use because it's shorter.
Or ~SKM~ would be good :D
My real name is Alessandro, but most people just call me Sandro.
Penguin knexer is the best says: Mar 14, 2013. 4:40 AM
how big sandro!!!!!!!!!!!! bet it uses over 3000 knex parts.
sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to Penguin knexer is the bestMar 14, 2013. 5:13 AM
Haha thanks and you're right ... more then 3000 parts :p
I like it how you used sandro instead of sandroknexmaster, sounds good :D

Hoi Ik denk dat al uw instructables geweldig maar i dont tijd hebben om te bekijken en van commentaar te voorzien in het nederlands ze allemaal vandaag, dus ik zal schrijven op dit ene dat je een groot begrip van Knex hebben, want toen ik probeerde om een Knex roller te bouwen coaster was het uiterst moeilijk. Misschien heb ik een paar foto's van het als je geluk hebt. De auto op het was niet geweldig, maar het deed de lus de lus dus dat het belangrijkste ding. x) By the way wil je mijn Knex competitie. Alstublieft.


Hi I think that all of your instructables are great but i dont have time to view and comment on them in dutch them all today so i will write on this one that you have a great understanding of knex because when i tried to build a knex roller coaster it was extremely hard . I may have a few pictures of it if your lucky. The car on it was not great but it did the loop the loop so thats the main thing. x) By the way do you want to join my knex competition. please .
sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to knex dude 2000Feb 25, 2013. 1:53 PM
Thanks!
I'm sorry but I don't have the time, to busy with my new ball machine. And I'm not very good at building cars.
Oh and you don't have to comment in Dutch :) I know more then enough english to understand all the comments.

That's just really really awesome. I wish I had 17505 K'nex piece and instructions for this, I would just keep it in one corner and never destroy it! Watch it often.
smartknex in reply to knex builder36472418Feb 24, 2013. 12:54 PM
is the body tilted?
sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to knex builder36472418Nov 26, 2012. 7:47 AM

ik heb me witte connectors geteld en heb er 206. is dat genoeg voor een normaal platform?
sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to cooljupjupFeb 21, 2013. 1:08 PM
Daarmee kun je er 1 maken die ietsje kleiner is dan die van Euphoria, denk ik. Toch als je er nog wat wilt overlaten voor de rest van de machine.
cooljupjup in reply to sandroknexmasterFeb 21, 2013. 1:10 PM
ah okay. ik ga morgen beginnen met bouwen. als ik niet te veel huiswerk heb xD
sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to cooljupjupFeb 21, 2013. 1:23 PM
Jah bij mij is huiswerk ook meestal den spelbreker xp
cooljupjup in reply to sandroknexmasterFeb 21, 2013. 1:19 PM

ik heb nu die hyperspace training tower gekocht op marktplaats ik heb nu die liften gemaakt voor me ballmachine en heb nu wel iets van 250 van die witte (8slots) connectors en ik wil nu een vloer dinges make. maar hoeveel witte conncectors heeft het jou gekost voor die vloer van Euphoria
sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to cooljupjupFeb 20, 2013. 1:44 PM
Ruig geschat... 150-200. Maar vergeet niet dat je er ook nog nodig hebt voor de rest van de ball machine!
cooljupjup in reply to sandroknexmasterFeb 20, 2013. 1:48 PM
ja i know xd
cooljupjup says: Feb 20, 2013. 1:21 PM
he welke sets heb jij gebruikt om deze te make???
sandroknexmaster (author) in reply to cooljupjupFeb 20, 2013. 1:28 PM
Haha ik verzamel al knex sinds m'n 5de, ik zou het niet weten :p
Trouwens de meeste stukjes (ik schat 70%) zijn tweedehands gekocht en daar zitten al die sets door elkaar gemixt dus ik weet het niet.
