Lobby Knex Ball Machine - At Blocks to Bricks Museum

This ball machine is my newest display made for the lobby of Blocks to Bricks. It was designed to be a medium-sized machine that fits into a circular seating area 6 inches deep and 4 feet in diameter. Most of the elements and the lift are from Citadel, although they have been improved. The main new thing I tried is the tower structure, which gives the machine more stability and makes a good place to attach elements. The machine was finished in 5 weeks, with construction starting in winter 2018.

If you'd like to see the process of building this machine, I made a 10-video series showing the construction. Here is the playlist:
