Description
As the original model is not suitable for most users (like trimming the part where the ball enters), I used Fusion 360 to modify this file. Unfortunately, I made the gradient a bit too steep (about 0.5 degrees downwards), which meant that the least amount of times it can move back and fourth is 3. Plus, just changing the gradient of the U-ramp only meant I had to re-build it from the ground up. However, the gradient of the original is much steeper, so functionality may be better. I'll soon create my own version since modifying the original file is difficult.
Also, the original file only acts as an “end” tile, meaning that it is 100% unsuitable for the ones who always creates endless tracks with motorized marble lifts, and just adding a funnel below only wastes more height. In this remix, there is an extra track to direct it back to Gravitrax tiles so that it can continue its journey.
In the print profile, there are 2 plates. One is printed with consistent layers starting from layer 2 (0.18mm), while the other has an variable layer height, printed in 0.08mm on the flattest part to prevent stuck marbles. However, I recommend printing the first plate if you have sandpaper for the marbles to stay longer on the ramp.
This remix should also match the height of the height tiles correctly of about 4 and a half height tiles. However, I did not want to print the original because it is also unsuitable to me.
According to the username of the creator of the original, it most likely meant that he is 14 years old. I am only 12 and I do not know why I could design better stuff than him.
For other users who do not have a Bambu Lab printer, download the STL's on computer and you need 3 “GraviRing.stl" or "GraviRing_higher_resolution.stl”.

Boost MeI have been trying to correct designs that don't look good for user convenience. Remixing other designs are difficult, so I hope that you would give me a boost! 😃EDIT: I may have missed a corner to chamfer on the base to prevent elephant's foot. Still, functionality is not affected.
