A pun? I don't get it, could you explain?
jwiz•35m ago
Anagram, perhaps.

Stupendous project and video as well! The music is very complementary.

Mesmerizing and beautiful in a simple way, I really like this type of thing.

Be sure to turn on sound for maximum mesmerization.

This is magical. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful, I wonder what kind of craziness would be possible with this, at scale. Whole buildings being printed and assembled block by block. Real life Minecraft, if you will

I wish there was a write up of how some of the code works. There's a lot of Python in the repo. Looks fascinating, seems to use Python to generate OpenSCAD code, I think.

This is cool! Great job on the video - Simple voiceover, synced music, and the fountain speaks for itself. Bravo.

This is beautiful. It would be amazing to have the tracks encode/decode audio, you know? Like, the track of the marble can be used to generate different frequencies...

Is the banking of the curve for a specific velocity?
LandStander•6m ago
This is a great example of a good use case for 3D printers. The smooth marble run action combined with the interwoven organic forms would be a huge PITA to fabricate with any other method I can think of, even if your just making one.

Very cool! I've designed a lot of Hilbert Curve marble tracks, using OpenSCAD and python
