It helps them learn what works best through a trial and error approach. It enhances your child’s cognitive and problem solving skills too as they try out various design challenges. It develops your child’s engineering and motor skills and the ability to craft complex structures. But since marble machines are primarily sold as children’s toys, let us tell you the amazing developmental benefits they have for your children: A marble run toy set is a practical way for your child to get STEM skills. Some of the best marble runs in the world are kept at museums and public spots on display so that everyone can enjoy them. They make such cool desk toys and art pieces. People love tinkering with marble machines for various reasons. They do well under temperatures up to 45 degrees Celsius some care has to be taken not to leave them for long under direct sunlight or near the heater because they can start getting bendy at 50 degrees. The PLA 3D printed ones are in our opinion the best, because they are very good quality and inexpensive compared to the metal and wood ones. The normal plastic ones which are produced in bulk, commercially, are light and do not corrode, but they are mostly injection-molded and of poor quality. Wooden ones are sturdy too, but these are also handcrafted, and the wood can also be damaged if it comes in contact with water. Metal also has its own disadvantages like being heavier and can rust if it comes in contact with water and is not properly protected. Metal marble machines are unique and very strong, but they are handmade, which makes them very expensive. People who make like making these at home as a hobby can also make them out of cardboard and paper. Rolling ball sculptures are usually made of metal, wood, plastic, or PLA 3D printed plastic. Other parts such as jumps, trampolines and electrical triggers are also used in some marble runs. Track switch: This divides the track and switches the path of each incoming marble into a different left-or-right track. These can also be designed in various ways.

Tipping arm: Built like an automated seesaw or catapult which accepts an incoming marble (or marbles) and tips over with the weight of it, then releases the marble on the outgoing track. Helical lifts: This is different from a spiral, because marbles spin along these helixes to rise to the top! Wavy/Zig Zag tracks: These tracks can come in many different styles where the balls move along in a serpentine fashion or in “waves” instead of going straight. Vertical spirals: A cylindrical spiral that makes the ball roll down in tight circles. Let’s discuss some of the fun track components that are often used apart from the straight tracks: Loops: These are similar to the loop-de-loops on a rollercoaster track and a favorite component in marble machines. The ones sold commercially are sold as smaller, interlocking toy parts that can be assembled and disassembled and made into different configurations again and again. These tracks come in various shapes, twists, and arrangements, often including more complex parts such as jumps, loops, ramps, and other triggers. A marble machine is usually made of open rails or tracks that have parallel guides on either side.
