Hello there,
today I present you the K'nex Jigsaw Lift, please keep in mind that bezempje95 originally invented it, but as he deleted his account/ibles/all his stuff I present you my version of it, with instructions.
This one also features a counterweight, making the lift run a tad more smoothley.

Just follow along the pictures and be sure to read the image notes!

I hope you enjoy it!

Step 2: The Base

With what else should you start than a base?
Well, a floating lift would be kinda cool....

Step 3: The Counterweight

Hey, why not build the counterweight before building the actual lift?

Step 4: The Front Frame

Ok, this is the first actual part of the lift.

Step 5: Cranks

We somehow have to get this thing going up and down, don't we?

Step 6: The Lifter

This is what will hold the balls.

Step 7: Back Frame

If there is a front frame there has to be a back frame...

Step 8: Various Stuff

Misc stuff like exit track and the crank for the counter weight.

Step 9: Gears

Finishing all up with the gearing!

Step 10: Done!

Congradulations, you just finished making the jigsaw lift!
Be sure to switch the motor to the right and watch your balls getting transported up!
No worries, you won't need that many balls ;)

Thank you for making this lift!
