DenCity- a K'nex Ball Machine Instructions

 My latest and most piece- consuming build yet, more pieces than my pinball machine!This ball machine was the hardest to make instructions on since everything was so integrated into each other. DenCity although being dense and all also has 6910 pieces, five paths, a motor that drives four mechanisms, thirty-nine gears and a wide structure. DenCity started out when I made Ionization and decided to keep the gate and lift system and build a new ball machine around it. Then I thought, " how many things can I power with one motor?" This is what came out. A lot of elements came from other member's guides.

This instructable is currently in beta as of descriptions of the paths but all the photos are uploaded.

Also, this is the first instructable where I cropped all the pictures!

Credit goes to yardking42 and Martijnb95 for use of some of their elements.

Step 2: Base

The base is the start of all ball machines. It is also the start of most of the problems I faced when I was structuring the machine itself.
The last pic will explain why.

Step 3: Gear Mechanisms and Wheel Lift

This step includes all the gears for most of the machine as well as the wheel lift. This step may take you a while.

Step 4: Main Support, Lift, Motor and Drive-Shaft

Almost done with the mechanics!

Step 5: Chain-Transport System

 The main feature on the machine despite being there only for path 1.

Step 6: Secondary Supports and Path Selecters

Last long step before the paths!

Step 7: Path 1

The first path has the most interesting element on the machine, the single-ball block-gate.

Step 8: Path 2

This path uses Yardking42's Sidewinder element and martijnb95's Gap Element as well as his " Arm With Stop" element.

Step 9: Path 3

I would call this the lazy path because there is no major elements besides some super path.

Step 10: Path 4

The phoenix rises again! This uses my favorite element I used in two other ball machines as well as a wheel arm from Davinchi.

Step 11: Path 5

This path uses super path as well as martijnb95 Zigzag Stairs. There are ball alternators and a small chain path also.
