⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ratings
I evaluate each Etsy shop’s overall 3D print quality, and then review each part individually.
Parts get scored in 4 key areas:
1. Quality. This evaluates the part’s fit, operation, build quality, and ease of use.
2. Utility. How USEFUL is this part in a marble run? Does it add new capability to GraviTrax that you didn’t have before?
3. Fun. This is the part’s coolness factor and is my opinion of how much fun the part will add to your marble runs!
4. Uniqueness. This doesn’t measure how good the part is, but whether the part is an original design that you can’t get anywhere else. A generic design that is sold by several Etsy shops gets a lower uniqueness score.
Let me add a caveat: 3D printing is somewhat of an art. It’s not just the design that counts, but how you print it. Many of these shop owners are improving their designs and processes over time, so the parts YOU receive may differ in design and quality from the parts reviewed in this video. Be sure to talk to the shop owner if you have any questions. I’m simply reviewing the parts I received at the time of this video.

I myself bought one from another Etsy seller last year, but it is no longer listed. This week I searched for “gravitrax” and went through every single result, and did not find another lift currently being sold. Apparently Etsy offerings change over time.

Great video! I've been a huge fan of those motorized lifts for a long time now :) using the ramp to launch marbles into a tiptube is fun, try it sometime!

You should make a marble run with all the 3d-printed pieces!!!! It would be Mega-Maze-ing

What I'd really like to see from the pendulum though is a demonstration of the amount of speed it's released with on a perfectly even rail. Gaining a good sense of the amount of speed it comes out with is what makes me decide to buy it or not. The problem I see with how it's designed is that because it needs to rest on a platform it's hard to connect it with a rail that goes down right away and for whatever reason I don't get Ravensburger didn't make normal leveling blocks hollow so things can fall down through them, why not exactly? It saves them on plastic and it allows people to put a standard vortex they make on a leveling block as well.

The pendulum does store the marble higher than at the exit, so there is some basic acceleration that occurs.

@@MaskedMarble That's good to know. How many hexes does it make on an even rail you'd say? Like say it's put on 1 end on a 3-hexes big platform, does it bridge the 3 hexes on it's own before it can go down on it's own after that?

@imperialmarchinhumanbowels5726 Not sure. I'd have to dig it out to see.
Cool!
I wish they would make those prints real
The motorized lift will be a great Grava tracks power elevator upgrade if it was officially made by ravensburger

I think the Power Elevator and Lever will be Ravensburger’s only lift options for a long time. But the marbles probably won’t mind if a 3D printed lift is used instead.
All i really want is a switch that doesn't break when multiple marbles come through it at once, but a super zig zag will do for now. Also i wonder if combining it with the rollercoaster rails would work?🤔

It works with the smaller track I believe. The longer ones need support I am afraid

Magnitech raises an interesting question. I don’t see why it wouldn’t. The only problem is you’d need a quantity of 5 of the particular rail you’re using.
The Super Zigzag isnt unique, you can also buy it on eBay from other sellers

@@MagmaForce_ Sometimes store owners will remove it, but sometimes they'll just put their store on auto-pilot, print in batches, and once they've sold all of that batch the store doesn't display that product anymore.
