Neat!

Neat! Watch the video. :-) Now I want to set up one of these with a small motor to pump the ball bearings back up to the top automatically.

  1. A friend printed what I believe was an earlier version of this and had some issues with stranding down inside some of the passages, but in general was really pleased once he got it working.

  2. I would build the motor in to the bottom, so the auger sits down on the motor shaft. That way it hides the motor.

  3. Always look at the remixes on thingiverse, because anything can be improved. There are several motorized and lighted versions, and improvements.
