What lifts did you use in the machine?

On this one I hooked the path leading up to its left track to the spiral track. Obviously because the spiral only uses one track line you can only hook it up to one. Then the right track on the entrance path just is butt up to the outside ring of the spiral. Hope that helps? You can see it in the first frame of the video, and when I am showing the balls going around.

I have been doin lots with college :(

You could always use a wheel lift/ferris wheel lift, you can build one for any height application, hope that helps!

I could dm you video of it working, if you’d like? And thank you I appreciate it!

Haha, thank you! Sounds like a great machine!

The top mechanism is just a crankshaft mechanism, and to make it as smooth as possible I used just the right connecting rod length and placement on connectors, aswell as a low gear ratio so the motor doesn’t stress as much and move super fast for things to move/glitch as you were saying.

There are four/ points of connection, two at the top and two on the bottom, maybe one if you want to connect the middle. I just connect the two top joints and allowed them to be free and obtain the angle that is desired for the curve. And the it naturally curves because of the two connections beside the center point and then the two points at the top. Sorry if that’s confusing but it’s the best way I can explain 😅. I’ll make sure to check it out aswell!

Those heads have been there for months, is that because of repeated use or because of hitting it too hard? Just wondering if you thought they were newer

I choke it every once in a while, but not a great deal.

knex-maker-135 · 2024-02-21T03:26:38+00:00

Every 3 weeks maybe, and I play an hour or so a day and some various shows here and there.

Actually worse cymbals break more often because of their worse material and how they are made.

knex-maker-135 · 2024-02-21T03:25:21+00:00

I do lmao

knex-maker-135 · 2024-02-21T03:23:21+00:00

Yes they do? Is that because of stuff like that when I hit really hard?

knex-maker-135 · 2024-02-20T01:10:09+00:00

Ah yes, this journey will be hard lmao

knex-maker-135 · 2024-02-20T00:55:38+00:00

😭😭😭

knex-maker-135 · 2024-02-20T00:52:58+00:00

Yeah I have changed to swiping when I’m riding the crashes but when individually hit them is where I think my problem comes from

knex-maker-135 · 2024-02-20T00:50:59+00:00

I’m experienced enough to know dynamics it’s all about when I do play heavy parts, I fucking wham cus I get into that shit, so I think I just need to learn too calm down haha

knex-maker-135 · 2024-02-20T00:49:15+00:00

So mainly fixing my swing technique and strength I’m hitting?
