So it Begins! In this first Episode i wanted to try to describe as many functions as possible of the M.M.X to all the engineers who are emailing me and want to help out. This video came out way long and is information overload defined, Sorry for that! During this whole building series i have to learn how to make more efficient and entertaining videos covering the build in a more accessible way. Join me on the quest to learn both how to build Marble Machines AND how to make videos...

I want to say a huge Thank You to everyone in the Marble Machine X Engineering Team!
Today we are not testing the sound of the vibraphone, we are testing the movement!
This is the one part of the Marble machine X where I can not compromise on the precision, its so hard to get the precision of the four joints between the quarters down to a hundredth of a mm around the whole circumference of the prog wheel.
Going Deeper Down the Rabbit Hole to slay the Dragon. This is a special kind of Dragon that lives in rabbitholes.

The Marble Conveyor Belt is Completed and it delivers Perfectly.
The Marble Machine X uses Acrylic Pipe for Marble Transportation, and to guide the marbles correctly everywhere, I needed to learn how to bend acrylic pipe
Trying to find a sweet snare sound, I feel I got kind of half ways here maybe, the top treble and the core punch attack is not there yet.
When I was a kid we used to go visit my grandmother and grandfather and they had an old Treadle pedaled Singer sewing machine. I could sit for hours just pedaling that machine, I was totally in awe over how it's flywheel transformed the up and down motion of the treadle pedal into a rotating motion
These fingers look slightly wonky one by one but when all 19 are side by side and you can see the music being played, and the instrument groups being muted and activated - this will be brilliant.
This was really fun to build! The instrument assembly of the Marble Machine X has been a long design process since i had to finally commit to this specific instrument placement.
Still working on getting those drums to play for the first time! Meanwhile I thought I´d show you the latest marble path additions, the loop is now closed.
I made a track to show the drums
So yet another piece of this puzzle coming together, with this design test done we can do the final design tweaks before the team can move on with the final manufacturing of all the 16 funnels!

"I am attaching an electric Motor to power the Marble Machine X, The primary reason is to exclude human errors in the power input while calibrating the musical timing. The Electric motor provides a constant torque and will increase the accuracy of these timing tests. The Motor is placed on a temporary location just to make these tests. (i wouldnt put it there in plain sight if it was included in final design) The secondary reason to include a motor in the would be the extra tightness of the music, enabling stage dive mode and frees up my hands to control the machine. Or play guitar solo with the Marble Machine X backing me up. Adding an electric motor permanently to the drive train changes the identity of the Marble Machine X quite a lot and it is not a decision i make easily. I have been actively against this during the whole development process but perhaps, perhaps, the identity change is for the better when all pros and cons are added up. Steam punk level decreases, musical tightness increases. And what cons would actually outweigh the stage dive mode pro? Do we want nostalgia or do we want groove? Do we want to be very principal about aesthetics or do we want to go for functional? These are the eternal questions we can entertain ourselves with in this process. With the motor hidden away inside the machine and with Alex CNCs magical electric skills allowing the motor to act as a helper maybe we can have the best of both worlds. The longer i work on the project the more i tend to go for function over form - we have built so much attitude into the design already that we wont risk killing it all by making things a bit easier at this stage. But again, motor is a fundamental change. Huge thanks to Alex: ►Alex Füßl | Alex CNC | Munich, Germany https://www.youtube.com/alexcnc https://www.youtube.com/AlexCNCen But for the timing tests that are up next there is no question - this motor will be a game changer for MMX accuracy. Even when onl
"How tight music can the Marble Machine X actually play? Thats a question i been asking myself everyday during this project and today we are getting a bit closer to an answer. We have built in a lot of calibration possibilities in the design of the MMX and the goal with this video is to show you how we can calibrate the timing in several ways. Next up is bass guitar and funnels, when all the funnels are connected the machine is almost completed in its basic design There will be a lot of small things that needs to be added here and there before we can move on to the final stage which is audio. In this video you are hearing the machine sounding through a variety of non intended recorded methods, most often played through my speakers and then into the wireless mic sitting on me and things are booming a lot in my ill sounding stone room. We are doing a total overhaul acoustic treatment of my studio this spring together with https://www.id-acoustique.com which will deal with this in a wonderful way. Thanks for following the build and good luck with everything you are doing! // Martin"
"A 2-year darling project in the MMX Process has crossed its finish line, a huge thanks to the whole Funnel Team for going that extra distance with these Stainless Steel Marble Catchers. After trying out Silver brazing to join these funnels we ended up using Silicone Bronze TIG Brazing and it worked out great. Silicone Bronze TIG Brazing was an instant favourite joining method, which is great since i still have 13 funnels to assemble...

"Reparing the Conveyor belt into ""World Tour Safe"" condition. Lots and lots and lots of work like this to do on a machine that has more parts than a car and is designed by an optimistic amateur mechanical designer. Im back at building on the machine itself after taken care of the project management part of the machine - so now while i have been repairing the conveyor the team has been busy all over the world working on other aspects of the build. The multiplier in efficiency i wanted to achieve has become real. Very happy for this. Expect more build videos over the summer.

"Making some organically flowing marble Tracks for the Vibraphone marbles - with these in place all the marble tracks of the whole Marble Machine X are completed! The lingering cloud on the marble track sky is that i designed these tracks to look like marbles could easily fall out and i did my job so well so some marbles do actually fall out. Some extra fencing here and there and some extra bending of the plywood is needed. Quite annoying but par for the course for the MMX and my special brand of over optimistic designs. Tweaking this is added on the to-do list which means it will be fixed. In spite of this i am happy to have reached this milestone, thanks for watching! /Martin Video edited by Hannes Knutsson https://instagram.com/hannesknutsson Wintergatan ESP: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_76..."

Check out the Wilson / Angle Grinder t-shirt design project here: https://wintergatan.net/pages/angle-g... Tried to invite you a little bit more behind the scenes of the cooking show in this one. Redesigning the Marble divider and a lot of other parts for the Marble Machine X was not an easy decision to make - but absolutely necessarry to make the machine function. Still after years of working with marbles I am still underestimating the impact of the amount of repetitions of marble drops that are needed to work flawlessly on the marble machine X, if the fail chance is 0000,1 % and we have 100 000 repetitions the chance of failure is too high. Designing something that fixes this might seem like a backlash but after accepting facts it is the fastest way forward. thanks for following the build have a great day// Martin ????/????

Have a nice day everyone and good luck with everything you are doing! / Martin P.S. I explained the non-concentric misalignment inside the video but we edited that part out so for the machining interested: The plywood stock was undersized - designed the cad for 18mm thickness of the ply but didnt care to check the ply stock size. the IRL thickness was surprisingly off - much thinner than 18mm causing the misalignment (birch ply have higher quality in sweden then the ply i have found in france). Rookie mistake, measure your stock by yourself - dont take the 18mm for granted just because it says on the package...
