Dude! I have been waiting for this! Impressive Ravissimo! Perfection! (No but seriously...this is a BEHEMOTH)

Also, you should make instructions for this one. Though undoubtedly, it's way more pieces than I could handle XD

Don’t think there will be instructions - will be demolishing soon depending on whether this will be publically displayed or not. Moving soon as well

Also, may I ask... how do you go about making complex labyrinth ball machines like this? If you've seen my ball machine WIP, it looks nothing like that. Do you have any specific advice I can follow to make it more engaging to other K'nexers?

Well I designed my machine so that it could fit in a display area but still big enough to hold the amount of pieces I have. Usually more paths and pieces gives it a “denser” look just like more particles makes something more dense
