Introduction: Knex Ball Machine Flashback Elements
hi this is an instructable for how to build some cool elementsfrom flashback.
i hope it's clear enough!
sorry for bad english, i'm from holland.
Step 1: Flipper
this is another design, but it works as good as trainman's one.
it's not invented by me, but by kagekumo, but i never saw an instructable of it.
Step 2: Corkscrew
it was hard to make this corkscrew work, but i did it!
it might be hard to make it work. just modify it a little.
make sure that you drop start is three red rods above the begin.
Step 3: Simple Stairs
i made stairs!
not hard, good working
Step 4: Super Path
well, it needs lots of orange connectors, but it works really good and it can be bended in all directions and it sounds nice.
this is a solution for when you don't know how to connect awsome elements.
Step 5: Ferris Wheel
this is a good working ferris wheel.
Step 6: Horizontal Ball Arm
i made this from the pieces i had left
Step 7: Vertical Ball Arm
Step 8: Clickers
ball rolls down and it makes a nice sound.
Step 9: Gap Element
the ball rolls and falls and rolls again........
Step 10: Rolling on Rods
i know it is a hard element, so make sure you support it very good.
Step 11: Obstacle Path
this works best when you don't make it too steep.
Step 12: Moving Steps
took me ten minutes to create
Step 13: Flipping Ball Arm
takes less knex and looks good
Step 14: Maze
the ball chooses the way it goes.
you can make it wider or higher and it can be used diagonally
not my idea
Step 15: Path Slower
use this for slowing a ball on orange slide.
Step 16: Basket
used for flying balls
Step 17: Chair Looking Ball Holder P1
Step 18: Chair Looking Ball Holder P2
Step 19: End
succes on your own ball tower!
