UGEARS Model kit marble run with spiral lift, 266 components, 3D wooden puzzle

The Marble Run with Spiral Elevator is the fourth model in the Ugears series of fascinating DIY mechanical marble runs made of wood. The lift has two types of tracks to speed the way up: the main spiral lift and the vertical lift. Turn the crank to move the coloured glass marbles up to the collection holder for three marbles (one marble reaches the top with nine turns of the crank). From there, the marbles begin their journey downwards, passing through exciting obstacles: a turbo slide, a twisted vertical slide and a cascade.

Our team of designers has created the marble run with spiral lift and our three other marble runs (chain run, step run and floor lift) as fantastic individual pieces, but also as modular elements that can be assembled to create a super marble run. With the special connecting elements included in each kit, you can link two or four marble runs of any type to create a gigantic marble amusement park, with a variety of lifting devices and obstacles to overcome on the way down. The escapement mechanism at the end of each marble run can send the marbles either back to their original lift or to an adjacent marble run, or alternate between the two options (you can control this with a special switch).

The marble run with spiral lift is a mechanical wooden model with 266 parts and the difficulty level "High", which will give them more than 6 hours of fun when assembling. No glue or other tools are needed for assembly. Simply press the parts out of the plywood in which they are pre-cut by laser and put them together. Follow the illustrated instructions available in 11 languages (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Ukrainian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Russian), which are included in all Ugears kits.

There is something fascinating about marble runs. Children and adults alike can spend hours watching the movements of these magical devices, and the Ugears Spiral Elevator Marble Run promises endless fun for young and old alike. Discover that you too are an engineer when you build this exciting 3D mechanical puzzle. And if you enjoy a challenge, why not build all four marble runs together and quadruple the fun? You can leave the model in its attractive natural wood state or let your artistic streak run wild and paint your model in different colours, as many Ugears fans around the world do.
