Dropping the Ball - PRECISELY - Marble Machine X #52

Moment of truth! Can the Marble Machine X Play tight music in its current design configuration or not? This ended up on the long format side, so many things that I really wanted to explain and show clearly. I am seeing a lot of questions that tells me that not everyone is on board with some of the most basic concepts of the MMX. So, I was in kind of explanation mode for the whole video! Synching the marble drop will be done with an adjustable screw that locates the first programming plate of 4 (we have skipped the 8 plate design and using 4 instead, twice as big). I didn’t have time to explain this part but its an essential function to synch the crankshaft precisely to the beat of the music. Also my PMMA bends here were really lacking patience :) for all you eagle eyed out there :) Patience is a virtue when it comes to clean PMMA bends. I was operating under the “donut spend too much time on prototypes“ principle. That also explains the packing tape! Enjoy and
