But then there you go:
Although all parts fit very well and the assembly instructions although extensive but also with good comprehension model only by properly studying the included photos progressing, so I realized yet that there is a 12-year tw. could over Forden. -
In practice, the resulting model, it turns out that it is not really convincing.
The system is unstable wobbles in and the heavy balls provide a chance of success, should a section built function.
The lift to transport the balls upward realiesiert by a worm drive. This has to be put together from many parts and the edges of the individual parts do not fit to run the ball. Often they fall down at the half. Moreover, the construct is stiff and dragging on the guide rails, the engine whines and lift wobbles.
As this lift is the heart of the system, my motivation immediately dropped a lot when I realized that exactly this part ist.Der completely fail constructed engine creates not keep the "eiernde" spindle speed constant in it. Too big are the friction of the material, despite many attempts to minimize these.
The cut of the rail length is demanding, does not meet the length information to the manual and craft
hard to master for 12 years.
During the construction must be checked constantly the ball rolling which is to be so, that makes it even from ...
But the frustration is (given the time and the many failures) constantly .. more
Alone the orientation of the ball rocker took me about 1 hour. Before the ball reached the target track .... that was under construction (see above)
If the ball runs over the currently mounted portion, shaking the whole construct and ensures non-reproducible situations .... (times klappts - times not)
The ball was of course always manually placed because the lift works just unreliable.
After I had nevertheless built up about 2/3 of the plant, I was so frustrated over the past that I have mt canceled the further construction.
Conclusion:
Great Idea. Handwerlich demanding. But non-functional as a whole.
The design does not work in practical operation and ensures continuous work. The matching components ensure building experience, overwhelming the individual, but the meaning of it all is guided by the unstable in off absordum.
Ergo:
I have spent much time to establish firmly that it is not worth the effort.
I'll give it nciht. I have it, entsorgt.-, after a month in waste
