Have been playing around with the laser cutter this week and decided to build a marble machine from thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:148312 out of 3mm MDF from bunnings, so that kids can have some hands on when we have our displays

It took a little bit of fiddling with the original plans as they were incorrectly sized, everything was too big.

I'd like to hook up a motor to drive it, but first I need to source some marbles / 10mm ball bearings

I tracked down some 10mm ball bearings locally so here it is in all its glory!
