This thing is a "cable-car" add-on for the Gravitrax Marble-run Game set.
I thought it would be cool to have a way for the marble to reach areas that were quite far away from its current position without having to sacrifice a lot of precious height or wasting lots of hexagonal spaces on the floor to build bridges.
Hence, I came up with this cable-car model, which uses a 2mm section aluminum wire as a guide. The wire can be easily bought (I got mine quite cheap on Amazon, here: https://www.amazon.it/dp/B07M98PWH1/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_jtAlDb265MJCE )
You can replace the aluminum wire with other materials, but I found it to give the best performance. It is soft and easy to bend to make curves, yet stiff enough not to deform under the combined weight of the marble plus the car.
Feel free to experiment with different materials, if you find something that works better than aluminum wire let me know!
Besides from the wire, all other parts are fully 3D printable, and most do not
