In case you've found yourself wondering what it might be like if an oddly satisfying looping GIF came to exist in the real world, I am here to answer that question for you.

I designed a looping ball machine, complete with a scissor lift mechanism, a 3D printed chain and sprocket, and a full gear train. All this to complete the mission of moving a segment of track just in time to allow a ball safe passage.

After adding a feedback sensor and some arduino based code, the system is timed to perfectly grab the ball, creating a satisfying loop that will go forever.

Much of this project was printed on my Bambulab X1 Carbon which I HIGHLY recommend (seriously, nothing beats it) Here’s my affiliate link: http://shrsl.com/2a5d5-2yn7-1cwx9

My website has some fun stuff that you can 3D print if you have a 3D printer:
