Divide by 8 Marble Divider - Marble Machine X #28

In the Marble Machine X, the marbles needs to be divided into rows of 8 before entering the Fish Stair. I have been thinking about how to achieve this for along time and this week i came up with what i think is the most space efficient solution. And also a cool looking feature and one that does not use a lot of parts. In this video i am prototyping the Divide by 8 and Modeling the 3D-printed parts in Fusion 360. Enjoy! Martin Here is a fish stair Marble Machine In action if you want clarification: This one lifts one marble per step, MMX will lift 16 marbles per step, two rows of steps, to achieve the needed 8 Marble Per crank turn feedrate! So we can play darude sandstorm on the MMX, it needs a lot of marbles for the dududududududududududu part
