Leapfrog Separator, a knex ball machine path separator
Hello!
This is the video for the Leapfrog Separator. It was first used in my ball machine Elysium:
www.instructables.com/id/Knex-Ball-Machine-Elysium/
The separator used in the video takes 5 balls, but you can make it as long as you want.
Some flexi rods are added because they look good on the separator, but they are not required to make the mechanism work.
You can find the instructions for the separator here:
www.instructables.com/id/Leapfrog-Separator-a-Knex-Ball-Machine-Path-Separa/
Thanks for watching / building!

Hello! This is the video for the last new lift used in my knex ball machine Elysium: www.instructables.com/id/Knex-Ball-Machine-Elysium/ Apart from being a lift, it also functions as a path separator. Each arm drops the ball at a different exit track. If you watch the video of Elysium, you will notice some differences between the original and this version. The balls don't enter in the center an...

Hello! This is the video for the Rollercoaster Ring Lift, a lift first used in my knex ball machine Elysium: www.instructables.com/id/Knex-Ball-Machine-Elysium/ It uses rollercoaster parts, and it's a ring, so that should explain the name for this lift. If you want to build this lift, here are the instructions: www.instructables.com/id/Rollercoaster-Ring-Lift-a-Knex-Ball-Machine-Lift/ Thanks fo...

Hello! This is the sixth new lift first used in my ball machine Elysium: www.instructables.com/id/Knex-Ball-Machine-Elysium/ It's a big lift that works slow as well, but it works fine and is cool to watch. It can also be modified in many ways, so feel free to give it a try! The side of the entrances can be adjusted, as well as the side of the exit. It's also possible to build a second exit, it'...

Hello! This is the video for the fifth new lift first used in my knex ball machine Elysium: www.instructables.com/id/Knex-Ball-Machine-Elysium/ It has two entrances and two exits on each side, and a big counterweight in the middle. This lift works best when integrated in a ball machine (it can be a little flimsy when not in a ball machine). If you want to build it, you can find the instructions...

Hello! This is the fourth new lift from my knex ball machine Elysium, watch the full video here: www.instructables.com/id/Knex-Ball-Machine-Elysium/ It is based on the stepper lift, but instead of two sets of steppers, this lift has four. The gearbox is different from the original one used in the ball machine, this one uses less gears. If you want to build this, here are the instructions: www.i...

Hi everyone! This is the third new lift first used in my knex ball machine Elysium: www.instructables.com/id/Knex-Ball-Machine-Elysium/ In fact, this lift was used twice in the machine, both were similar. This is a small, simple lift, and nice to watch. Its name refers to the arm sliding down every time it has lifted up a ball. This feature is actually really useful and not only a fun extra. Th...

Hello! This is the second new lift featured in my knex ball machine Elysium: www.instructables.com/id/Knex-Ball-Machine-Elysium/ The Tube Claw Lift is one of the most complicated lifts I have ever built. I had multiple problems while building this, the biggest one being the exit, but also things like the crank, the entrance, and the tube-axle connections didn't work from the first time. Surpris...

Hello! This is the video for the first new lift used in my knex ball machine Elysium. www.instructables.com/id/Knex-Ball-Machine-Elysium/ The Ferris Wheel Lift is quite a big lift. It works good, and a gate was added so balls enter one by one. It is able to carry multiple balls at once, the motor is strong enough for that. If you want to build this lift, you can find instructions here: www.inst...
Knex Ball Machine: Elysium
zhlédnutí 27KPřed 9 lety
Hello everyone! I am proud to present you my big ball machine Elysium. It is the biggest and most complex machine I have made so far. There are some unique features like a moving floor, 8 new lifts, and multiple new elements. The lowest floor is not like any other white knex ball machine floor, as it is motorized. The floor makes random movements, so you never know where the balls will end. The...

Hi everyone! This is the second of 2 lifts used in my ball machine Revolution. I liked it very much and it works excellent. Instructions and more information: www.instructables.com/id/Sandros-Wheel-Lift-a-knex-ball-machine-lift/ I hope you like it and thanks for watching! ~Sandroknexmaster~
Floor Double Arm Lift, a knex ball machine lift
zhlédnutí 8KPřed 10 lety
Hello everyone! The Floor Double Arm Lift is the first of 2 lifts first seen in my ball machine Revolution. This one is a double arm lift. Nothing special you'd say. But... It's a bit different than a standard arm lift because the balls enter directly from the floor, not from an entrance track (as the title says). When it's not in a ball machine, I think the Floor Double Arm Lift looks quite ug...
Knex Ball Machine: Revolution

Hi everyone! Here's my new ball machine, called Revolution. It's not as big as my previous machines but it has a special feature: You can sit on it. As far as I know this is the first working ball machine where you can sit on. (Tell me if there is another.) It can easily hold more than 100 kilos. 1 network, 2 lifts, 8 paths. Some new elements are also included, and the 2 lifts aren't new concep...

Hello knexers! Here are the instructions for the Shadow Separator, first seen in my knex ball machine Paradox. This is the last part from Paradox, now the instructions for all the new elements/lifts/separators are online. About the name... I'm sure you're wondering why this is called the Shadow Separator. I did not invent the self-resetting mechanism myself, it is Shadowman39's invention. So a ...

it dose not werk the way I did it
can you show the other side to?
do you have more?
my son is pro at k'nets he will find something out.
it also looks fun.
show me how to make it.
Some pics on how to build this is in the dark and I can’t barely see it. Is there any way to show a clear picture … please
Network 1: One lift that goes all the way up Network 2: I paid for 20 lifts and I’m gonna _use_ 20 lifts
0:45 K'nexpert Sandro, what must I do to attain enlightenment? Jokes aside, it's impressive how the machine is able to hold up your weight. "That's the power of American manufacturing." #MadeInTheUSA ;)
Genius
U rlly know how to move balls in the ball machine
Holy shit this was so impressive
Lifts as clever as they are fresh. Nice work! Master, you are!! Instant sub!
Your hard work is phenomenal! I just wish the background music were not so loud. I like hearing all the balls and mechanical parts.
Thanks! I didn't really think about that when making the video, but you can rebuild certain components and hear it yourself :)
@@Sandroknexmaster I love this response tbh :)
This looks cool, is tall, doesn't take up too many gears, and doesn't strain the motor too much. This is awesome
Thanks! :)
@@Sandroknexmaster I really appreciate you posting instructions on these too. It helps us all create variations of it and gives us new ideas.
@@JustaHappyPotato That's what I and all the others posting instructions always have in mind when sharing these ideas, glad you like it :)
I don’t have 39 Y clips
Then you have to buy some :)
Show us how you make it!
Take a look in the description, there's a link there to instructables where you can find instructions on how to build it!
Beautiful!

?
@@Sandroknexmaster idk
Dees is geweldg om dronken na te zien xd xp
Nice lift.
Thanks!
are you going to be making more ball machines?
Not enough time currently, maybe one day :)
Hey can you check out my knex ball machine
Hoi Sandro. Prachtige ideeën laat jij zien. Ik heb zelf een idee gemaakt voor een puzzle box waarvan ik heel graag zou willen dat echte knex meesters zoals jij met idee;en komen voor dergelijke puzzle boxes. Ik heb nergens op youtube filmpjes gezien of op instructables, waar een puzzlebox wordt laten zien. sorry alvast voor de slechte kwaliteit van de video. Voor de zekerheid de link: czcams.com/video/CH7M3vg6FxE/video.html
Ziet er goed uit, leuk idee! Ik heb momenteel niet echt de tijd om iets te bouwen, maar je kan altijd eens bij andere knexers horen.
do you use blender for the logo
Yes I did.
cool
My childhood
Brilliant!
Thanks!
Wow! This would be really cool for a rube goldberg machine as it has six different routes.
Where does everyone get those Knex balls?
I got mine on knexusergroup
Sandro, this is Daniel, I built one or two of your k'nex builds back at instructables, and I have to say, try to build ball machines that are a little bit more "cheap", some that don't include more than 80 green rods or 4 grey rods
Thanks for building! 80 green and 4 grey rods is not that much though, will be difficult to make something without losing quality.
Might be improved if the arms were lifted from further out for more leverage. It's a really cool design though!
That's possoble indeed. Thanks!
Ahhhh that motor is crying for help!
Nah it's having fun :p
Ooh the counterweight... that's a lot of wheels!
Yes it is! But you can use other stuff too if you don't have enough of them.
Hi, where can I get the exact balls that you are using? I can’t seem to find them anywhere!
On knexusergroup, or you can also try to find them second hand.
Sandroknexmaster what would they be called?
Kmex balls, or ball halfs maybe, I don't know if they have an official name.
Fun to watch, but this is definitely going to take a heavy toll on pieces. Having the whole, gigantic heavy structure slam down with no form of shock absorption is most definitely going to break something sooner or later.
Thanks! Maybe, I never had any broken pieces during all the time I used this lift though.
I’m just surprised that that big arm is able to free-fall once it gets overbalanced on one side and not smash into pieces. Is that superglued or something?
No glue, just standard knex pieces. It doesn't fall from that high. I never had any problems with parts breaking because of the fall.
@@Sandroknexmaster Ok. I was just wondering, but Knex seem pretty strong.
Wow, great job, epic lift, real unique type of lift. What was the inspiration behind it?
Thanks! I wanted to do something with rollercoaster track, and then just decided a ring shape like this one would look nice :)
@@Sandroknexmaster Very cool indeed, i love these types of circular lifts. Keep up the good work. Any ball contraptions in the works?
@@dylans102 No norhing coming up, don't have a lot of time to build currently.
Cool , i love this one :-)
Thanks!
It’s been 3 years nice to see you back, also can we expect a new machine anytime soon?
Thanks! Nothing is coming along currently.
Long time no see. Good to have you back
Thanks!
It's great to see more details of these lifts! Nice job on the instructions, too!
Thanks! Took some time, but better late than never :)
the motion is so clean, love it!
Indeed, and it works best when in a stronger structure than this.
I love how smooth the balls go on :)
Yeah, took some time though :p
it's been a while! awesome to have you back :)
Thanks, just posting some stuff I still have from elysium :)
Hooray! You're not dead! Nice lift by the way. Really clever design.
Thanks! :)
Show us how to make it
There's a link in the description :)
I like your work. It's got to be the best I've seen. I'm just wondering how you get your machines so neat and have you done a solar ball machine?
Curtis Morgan Lot's of trial and error, and even more patience :) No I haven't made something with solar power.
This is too neat
I built the one in 7:18 and the one in 8:00
Sam Sobotka Nice, did it work as it should?
they both did :D
i think you are working that poor motor a little hard but cool creation
brick master It survived but it's quite heavy for the mother indeed. Thanks!
they dont sell motors for knex cheap thats for sure
hi i was wondering where do you buy those knex balls ?? btw your creations make my day
brick master They were part of big lots i bought some time ago. Thanks!
ok thanks for the info
