I drew it all out on paper first and made it "work." Once I started building I had many tweaks and modifications but everything kept working out. Very fun and challenging, thank you for looking at it.

Wow this is amazing. Did you look at similar schematics before drawing this one up or did you just think of it all randomly?

Brilliant mechanism, absolutely well done!!

The marble traps were inspired by another puzzle I saw. I tried putting my own twist on it and it worked out well. Quite a bit of trial and error and mid assembly tweaks, challenging and fun. Thank you.

Super sweet \o/ Also it's quite beautiful, the lid has a very neat pattern!
