Watch It Dance
Watch as the motor powers a series of intricately connected gears, propelling steel marbles up the spiraling lifts. They race down ramps, spiral into vortex funnels, and click through tipping platforms — all choreographed in a mesmerizing mechanical ballet.

This kit was well made, and everything fit like you expect it would for something like this. Take your time, and don’t get impatient with a part that may be a little snug, this will be a satisfying project to do alone or with your kids.
I had this a while as I wanted to do this with my grandson, and I was glad I waited. We both very much enjoyed putting this together as a team, and although he was only 11, he surprised me at how well he caught on, even pointing out mistakes in the instructions. Nothing major, just a 2 used as a 5 or the reverse. If you pay attention to the diagrams, you shouldn’t go wrong. There are a lot of illustrations that go through the assembly process, and some weren’t as clear as I felt they could have been. However, everything on paper matched up with the parts supplied, it just took looking at things a bit closer to determine how it all went together. It would have been nice to have a couple of more views of some of the completed sections.
I added the pictures of each side of the completed project so anyone can see how it all fits together. We ran this thing for about 20 minutes to see if it anything would loosen up, but everything stayed together without an issue.
I plan to add some epoxy or other hard glue to some of the joined parts to ensure it stays snug but overall, it is very well made, the parts are laser cut (a blade would not cut so fine), and it should last a long time. Other than that, this is a very nice project for anyone.

It was a gift for a friend that loves to build. He is healing from heart surgery and isn’t allowed to lift heavy objects.
It took him 2 hours to do. His grandchildren are allowed to watch it but not to touch it.
He really enjoyed putting it together.
