    This is my first 3D laser project. I downloaded the files, laser cut them and just finished assembling it. The video is clear and easy to follow. It all seems to work really well, but I am waiting on some 12.7mm (1/2 inch) ball bearings I ordered and will have it all up and running. Thanks so much for sharing, you guys really rock!

    Made this as a Christmas gift for my great nephews.... they love it. I don't want to seem ungrateful, but if you come up with a larger marble run, I'll be making that too!! I made this with my father who is 91. He helped me sand the char off of the short/long pins. There were some mistakes in the video... very minor, and I got the lift mount orientation wrong, but when it was all finished it became a memory with my father that I will have for the rest of my days. Thank you!

    Thank you for your kind comments. It is wonderful that you got chance to assemble this with your father. Yes there are a few mistakes in the video, it was an early attempt at making videos, and we still make mistakes. I am working on another marble run, not larger, and probably easier to build, but it will be changeable and run more balls at the same time.

    I cut this from corrugated cardboard just for fun. (Thanks for the material Amazon.) Of course the gears don't work but everything assembles well and it looks amazing. The marble run works quite well. It is a real testament to the quality of the design that it works so well even in cardboard! Thanks for sharing this.

    Cut and assembled without any problem ( triplex 3 mm). Some of the numbers mentioned in the video ar not correct but no problem to find out the proper pieces ( see reaction below John Schmo). Would suggest to cut extra long pins and use long pins where it's possible, they fit better and don' break. A extra support for the main shaft would possibly prevent flexing while in use.

    Hi, thank you for your comments. I honestly can't tell you how I design each project. I don't sketch them or have a finished model in mind when I start. The marble run started with an idea for how to connect track to upright supports. Then I just started drawing track and needed a way to lift the marbles and somewhere for them to go. So each element just followed the last. Most models are designed over a few months when ideas come into my head. I have many model ideas, and hope to share more of them in the future.

    Most diode lasers have the work area 400x400. All the pieces fit except the bottom plate. It would be nice if you can adjust that. I took away 10 mm from each side; some lasers have problems cutting at 400 so 390 should be good. Also rearranging the rest of the pieces for square bed and in the order that need to be assembled; so we can start mounting while the rest is cutting:)

    Hi Kris, thank you for your comments. We need to give you a little history of how and why we started drawing files to give away. When we purchased our first laser a few years ago it was very difficult to find files which were available to download, so we just had to learn how to create and found that we enjoyed it. The laser we purchased is a 150w Co2 with a cutting area of 36ins x 24ins and since then we have produced hundreds of products on it. When the Glowforge machine appeared we thought that it would be good to offer files to people who were just starting out laser cutting to help them get started. So we made the web site, put a few files up and made the videos of how to assemble the models. As you can see we have only put files up, now and again. The files which are now on our web site were drawn to suit Co2 lasers and nested to suit Glowforge cutting area as well as laid out for people to do their own nesting to suit their machines. Our laser has a kerf of around 0.6mm and the files have a kerf compensation to suit this. Diode lasers are now available and it is clear that these will be the ones that hobby cutters will be using. We have had a few comments from diode users that the joints on our files are a little tight for their machines and they have needed to sand pieces to assemble them. Moving forward, we are now drawing some more models but these will not have kerf compensation. If a joint is 10mm, both the slot and tab will be drawn at 10mm. Now that Lightburn is the go to cutting software, anyone who wants to adjust the joints will be able to use the kerf adjustment to suit their machine and substrate. We will also be nesting the parts to fit within a 380mm x 380mm cutting area as well as laying out the parts for people who want to do their own nesting to suit different cutting areas. No single part will be bigger that 380mm x 380mm. obviously we cannot offer layouts for every machine out there. The models we assemble in upcoming videos will be cut on an Atezr P20 plus diode laser.

If you have a diode laser with a 430mm x 430mm cutting area, there is a Laid Out Parts file which you can use to arrange your own nesting. In a few days we will be uploading files with all the parts nested into 380mm x 380mm cutting area, for folks with 400mm x 400mm diode lasers. Hope you enjoy the build.

    Hi Bobby, have you checked the thickness of your material. If you are using 3mm or 1/8" material the pieces should fit together easily. Is it just the pins you are having problems with or are the other parts a tight fit also. Do the supports fit into the base easily or are they a tight fit.

    First I recommend you use blue tape on both sides of mdf before cutting. This reduces charring and fitting is easier. For small pins use a thin metal file to remove charring as well as the slots they plug into. I had no problems with large pins or any other parts.

    Hi Andrew, after using a Co2 for a few years and also after swapping out damaged tubes, I think the best advice we could give you is to run tests with your machine. There are so many variables that any power levels or speeds advised could be way off. Your machine manufacturer will probably have some guidelines but these could need adjusting depending on the age of your tube and the product you are cutting or engraving.

    I'm curious, why do many of the slots in some parts have rounded corners (like part 18)? This makes it more difficult to slide the matching tabs into the slots. Obviously laser cutters can't round the corners of the matching tabs that slide into the slots. My only guess is it's possibly another method to increase friction for a tighter fit? Perhaps you're making the slots extra large (3.17mm + kerf) to accommodate most wood thicknesses, but thinner woods would still fit tightly due to the rounded corners? I don't know, I'm just curious if there's wisdom behind it.

    Hi, as I mentioned, the marble run was designed several years ago, so I can't remember my design method. I have done so many designs since then. It wasn't designed as a file to offer free, but one we made for ourselves. The original runs were cut on our 150w Co2 laser before Diodes, with much smaller kerfs, became popular. I think I rounded the slot corners to accommodate different thickness of materials. Also most of the joints on this model are not glued, so I tried to get tighter joints without reducing the slots size. Several of our early models have joints with kerf compensation, because they were drawn to suit our Co2 laser. All our recent models are drawn with square corners and no kerf compensation. I have considered redrawing the marble run with no kerf compensation, but we know that this model is used in some schools as a project, so we think that if school children can build it, it must be ok. Hope this helps.

    My first attempt at this has not gone smoothly so far. Almost everything is too tight. I've had to sand things down ( like the short pins and various shafts) in order to get them to fit at all. The material being used is slightly under 3mm.. Maybe the laser is so small of a focus size (08x.08mm) causing a smaller than usual kerf making the cut parts a bit larger? In any case, I had this same problem before and fixed it by changing some setting in lightburn, but I forget what it was.. I will have to check it on the old project I did before. But not until after I get a 20w laser 😊

We understand that some lasers are now available with much smaller beam size. The files we are designing now will not have kerf compensation and are being drawn for 1/8" or 3.175mm material. Also, we will be testing them on a 20w diode laser. Hopefully this will make assembly easier.

    Hi Barry, well spotted, there is also another mistake further into the video. We made several of these models out of 3mm baltic birch plywood when we were testing the files, so you should have no problem with using 3mm plywood. When we drew this file, it was designed for, and cut on our Co2 laser, and we made the joint tolerances to suit a 0.6mm kerf. We have had a couple of comments that diode lasers have a much smaller kerf and that the lower powered diodes can cause charring, meaning that the joints may need some cleaning. The models we are currently working on will not be drawn with kerf compensation. We hope you enjoy making the model and would appreciate your comments when you have built it. Harry.

They are so tight that they break, crack or even crumble trying to Insert them. I started rubbing them on a piece of sandpaper on both sides and filing each of the holes just a little with a square file before trying to put the pins in. The file can sometimes break off chunks of the layers of plywood which is another problem. The short pins are prone to forming a hairline crack at the closed end when asked to flex. The good news is, the long pins work much better, with brief filing and sanding, some went in almost like in the video. I am still hopeful my machine will come out working but I wonder how much easier it would have been with MDF.

    Hi, well spotted on the p/n mistakes. You did miss another mistake a little further into the video. Two things to cover your comments on building the model. 1. Plywood from the big box stores will give you nightmares. We cut out several of these in 3mm baltic birch plywood with no problems, but due to Mr. Putin, baltic birch plywood prices went through the roof and for a time it was not available. So, mdf became our go to product and is now probably our favorite for small wood models. The marble run you see being assembled was not cleaned, filed or sanded before assembly. All the pieces are straight off the laser but the pins were waxed. You will see how easily they go together - but.... 2. This model was drawn to suit our 150w Co2 laser which has a kerf of .6mm. All the joints have kerf compensation. Many people have let us know that their models went together with no problem, but we have had a couple of comments from people using diode lasers saying that their kerf is much smaller and therefore the joints are tight. The models we are designing now are all being drawn with no kerf compensation and we are cutting them on a diode laser. We use RD Works as the program to run our Co2 laser but if you are using LightBurn, as most people seem to be doing, and the joints are a major problem, you could cut them with a kerf offset to make them a little larger. Hope this helps and that your model turns out nice.

    @@freelaserfiles Correct, I am using a diode laser and Lightburn. My marble race is working well. Thanks for the tip about kerf - I think think that would help. Another problem I had is due to the thickness of the material. A couple of spot checks revealed the 1/8" plywood I was using to be about 2.6mm thick. At the beginning of the assembly the sequence of parts on the drive shaft is 17, 18, 7, 5, 6, 7, 18. At 3:58 in the video the final disc #18 on the Drive Shaft is lined up flush with part #2. Mine was not like that. There was not enough total thickness to line up #18 with the hole in #2, meaning parts 1 and 2 would have to be squeezed together to have the drive shaft get any support, but they could not be squeezed together because of the holes in the base and the size of #20 at the top. No way it was going to work. So I added an extra disc #18, giving a sequence of 17, 18, 7, 5, 6, 7, 18, *18. This made the Drive Shaft workable. However, I did not foresee how everything was going to work until it was too late, at the end when we were putting the lift assembly onto the base. The 5/6 lift wheel was too far in (toward the race tracks), so the marbles would not be pushed out by part #24. In retrospect, I should have added the extra disc #18 at the other end of the Drive Shaft, so the correct sequence would have been 17, 18, *18, 7, 5, 6, 7, 18. Since the Drive Shaft components were already glued together, I could not make adjustments there. I ended up taking it apart at the top, where #20 connects #1 and #2. This allowed me to pull 1&2 apart enough to insert a modified #24 with a steeper ramp (about twice as thick at the fat end), so that it can push the marbles out successfully. This makes the lift assembly work as it should. One last thing: when the marbles go around the far end there is a slight uphill going into the hairpin turn supported by part #36. My table is setting on carpet and I suspect not very level, so I had marbles getting stuck trying to make it to the turn. I modified part #36 to be 2mm shorter and that made it work much better (I should have shortened it by 3mm but it works pretty well now and not worth the effort). I posted all this supplemental info in case anybody else is using Home Depot PATRIOT TIMBER PRODUCTS 1/8 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. Sanded Plywood. Thank you for the files and video. It was fun building this project and there is no way I would have thought of this on my own!

    Hi Joe, that sounds like it should work. I would recommend just cutting two small pieces first and checking they fit together before cutting the whole project.

    All wood blanks that I find on Amazon are sold as 1/8 inch - 3 mm. I assume that the wood is 1/8 but close to 3 mm. Will this work?

    Hi Patrick, thank you for contacting us. The joints on the marble run are drawn at 3.175mm or 1/8". Obviously different lasers produce a different kerf. Our earlier files were drawn with kerf compensation to suit our 150w Co2 laser. This caused problems for people using smaller kerf diode lasers. So now all our models are drawn with 3.175mm joints with no kerf compensation. That being said, material thickness varies from batch to batch and even with humidity. Cutting the joints at 3.175mm plus the width of your machine kerf should make the joints fit easily. Hope this helps.

    really very nice subscriber and like 281. I have some questions 1: can I make this project with classic poplar plywood boards instead of MDF? 2: Can I share your project by saying they should subscribe to your KZread channel and tagging you?

    Hi, thank you for your comments. Yes you can make this out of plywood. We made several of them using 3mm baltic birch plywood. We would be happy if you share our models with other laser users, and tag us. Enjoy your build.

    Hi John, we offer 3 layouts of each model we upload. One fits within the popular diode laser cutting area, one is aimed at Glowforge users, and the final file has all the pieces Laid Out so that people can nest them to suit their machines. All the sheets required are given on the model pages on our website. So there is no preferred sheet size, or set number of sheets required, it all depends on your machine cutting area. Hope this helps.

    can someone please tell me the dimensions of the base for this project? I am trying to order sheets for this project I am getting the xtool D1 and had to modify the plans for a 430x400mm maximum work area. I am new to this so any help is appreciated. Thanks

    Hi Keith, the dimensions of the base are 406.40mm x 251.35mm. If you open the files named "Laid Out" all the parts are laid out in a line so that people can nest them to suit their laser cutting area. The files on sheets were nested for Glowforge area machines because diode lasers were not a thing when this file was drawn. All our future files will be nested for diode machines and when we get chance we will try to go back and nest previous files for diodes. Please keep in mind that if you alter the sizes of the parts, you will need to adjust the dimensions of the joints. Hope this helps.

    ⁠After experimenting some more, I find that opening the .ai file directly into Lightburn shows the score lines but not the part numbers. Opening the .dxf file shows part numbers but some are gibberish. Opening the .svg file shows everything correctly. I’m still learning here, should have started with the .svg. Thanks for your response and the wonderful project file!

    Hi, glad you got it to work. The dxf file is usually the one to use. The svg file is there for people who want to make alterations in a drawing program. There are so many variables when dealing with files, that is why we include different formats. Enjoy your build.
