General Information
Get all the marbles to the middle. This game is surprisingly harder than it looks! The slick design makes in a nice addition to a home or office.
Open in Easel®
Carve the wood
Open the project and carve the Workpiece labeled "wood base". Any 1/2 wood or material should work.
Estimated time: 15 minutes
Carve the acrylic
Next, go to the Workpiece labeled "acrylic cover". Cut this out of any 1/16" thick acrylic.
Estimated time: 5 minutes
Add the bearings
I used 5/32 inch "Diameter Chrome Steel Bearing Balls":https://www.amazon.com/Diameter-Chrome-Steel-Bearing-Bearings/dp/B002BBIOIG for the balls in this game.
Estimated time: 1 minutes
Put the acrylic in
I was able to press fit the acrylic into the wood (I used the inlay app to get the measurements right). I didn't use any glue, and the top stays in nicely unless you bang in upside down on a table.
You can glue it if you would like!
Estimated time: 1 minutes
The outer edge and the maze walls are the same height. This will not allow the 1/16" overlay to fit in the channel. It rests on the maze walls.
