Consistency

Post by megrimlockawesom »

Hey guys!


So our rollercoaster team is trying to find a way to get bigger gaps without having the marble fall off early. We are currently using gutter pipes for our jump pieces. Any advice for other material we can use and angles we can put it at?
Ok this is epic 8-)

PVC pipes, but you have to cut them in half longwise, then heat them carefully over a heat gun till the plastic becomes flexible, then bend and hold till it cools down again. That way you can make a curved track.
