3D Printing Roller Coaster Track | How to make K'Nex/Printed Hybrids!

I've been working on a K'nex compatible track design for over a year and in this video I will show you how I design and manufacture it!

I first showed off this track design as a part of my magnetic braking project. When that project concluded I began to refine the design and manufacturing processes shown in this video. I wanted to create a stronger track than the K'nex track that would also require less adjustments and cost less to procure. I decided the best way to finish this coaster would to print the station and lift hill. Both sections were a huge challenge and it took nearly nine months to finish!

The lift hill stands at about 4 feet 10 inches. I consumed about 50 feet of tubing and three kilograms of PLA to get to this point. Every material, tool, and software shown in this video was purchased by me. No material or software was given for review or sponsorship.

In a future video I will be adding the final track mechanics and electronics to finish the coaster. I am also working on the next generation of my custom trains. Stay tuned for more on both projects!
