Marble run
Description
A set of marble run pieces.
My 4 year old son has grown fond of marble runs recently, so we purchased a "deluxe marble run" set. I figured I could make this a "mega deluxe marble run" set by adding custom pieces.

Instructions
Print out as many as you want, connect, add standard (~16mm) marbles and have fun!
All parts are 60mm high, and have print length of 120mm (so that it will fit on my up plus).
Currently a straight piece, a curve (left) and a riser.
I will add more pieces in the future.
If people want, I can also upload the Alibre files (.ad_prt).

Did you end up having to add support material to print? I think if you made the underside arch up, it could be printed without support material. The pieces may wedge together though, I guess
The Up! software automatically adds support material, although I tried to minimise it. The only support material that is absolutely required would be under the "upper" end because there's a 100% overhang.
I think I wound up having support material under the main track, just to make sure it didn't warp too much. With more time I would probably try to find a way to get rid of this requirement.
