Free GBC Module

Surprise Surprise. We will release the Vertical Conveyor Lift as a sub module with FREE building instructions! We know that getting the GBC Balls up to a higher point is more difficult then bringing them down. To help the starters in the wonderfull world of GBC we decided to make these building instructions free, which takes the harder part out of the equation. They can make the ball return path on their own. This is a fun challenge and nice building exercise. Or simply connect it to our GBC 46 Looping Ramp or your own GBC module. Anything is possible!

Both the building instructions of the GBC 53 Marble Music Machine and the GBC 54 Vertical Conveyor Lift will release at the same time!

 

 

 

Things are getting real!

It is up to the user to use it but with the Wiggle Table activated you can clean a lot of the GBC Balls out from the Pusher Table. It is fun to watch the GBC Balls go from left to right and back to front. Organized chaos we call it here and I think that pretty much sums it up. Note that the speeds on all motors in the videos as not to full speed. Something builders can play with themselves to fit their need.

 

 

Reveal – GBC 53 Marble Music Machine

What do you think? If it for sure big and tall! But believe it or not, the construction is so well designed that you can still pick it up with only 2 hands! Handy!

Stay tuned for more info and more feature reveals about this machine!

 

 

GBC Workshop – Learn while building

Last Saturday we had the joy of organising a GBC Workshop here in the Netherlands together with the HetMartinBuber College. Many builders took a turn and together we were able to complete modules from the GBC 21 Mine Factory. Focussing on all the mechanical aspects which bring this machine alive. It was great to see the many builders collaborating together and getting stuff done!

 

 

 

Pete Dubois did it again!

One of the fastest builders we know has done it again.
The only hold up was the GBC Funnels which Pete wanted to include in the GBC.
Watch his GBC 51 Gravel Works in action featuring the 2 GBC Funnels in full action.

 

 

 


Have you also build one of our models yourself?

GBC Ball divider, the right way

The upcoming GBC 53 Marble Music Machine will be able to play 8 notes in any order you like by using physical programming pins on the programming wheel.
Getting the GBC Balls to the top is not the hardest part. But how to divide them evenly over the 8 notes that needs to be played? We tried different solution and we stuck with the software driven option as this would be the most flexible over times when users program their own songs.

In the video you will see that the dividing arm stops every second. This allows the using to fill the most important notes to be filled up first. Of course you can change all this behaviour in the software. We will carefully explain how in the building instructions.
