Knex Ball Machine PLUTO - World's First 360 Degree Rotating Knex Machine

After 16 months of building, I can finally show you my latest knex machine called Pluto.
It hase:
2 Networks
7 Lifts (3 new)
8 Paths
13 New Elements
1 Main Separator
And about 19.300 pieces.
There will be separate video's for all the new elements and lifts, + an overview and a deconstruction video where I show you what's underneath the floor.
This was by far the most DIFFICULT machine I've ever made.
I was ready to give up when the system underneath the floor just broke because of the huge weight it needed to pull to make the machine rotate.
After many days I've managed to make it work again by adding more motors and an overall stronger structure.
This machine was a real challenge but I'm really happy how it "turned" out ;).
I hope you enjoy the video,

Pretty insane I must say, the way that path lines up while roating was so cool

[@Thibault_Art]

Joshua Hudson thanks!😀

[@Nikolaos34]

Man I was blown away by this build, very very cool. I had to stop and stare at the still frame at 6:58. I have never seen a pivot connector before, thought I was looking at some black magic illegal building technique for a moment.

[@nayber2352]

Usually these things will have at least 1 element that I've seen before, like a loop, or spiral, or spinners or whatever, but every single element in this is new and cool. I can't believe how good this build is. Even the elements that are "an arm" have some crazy mechanical aspect to it that makes the element so cool to watch. Very well done holy shit.

Beautiful ball machine! I have been waiting for a long time to see a nice k'nex ball machine on here again, you did an incredible job on the build! gotta say I just love the orange tubing track, I love how smooth they always run :)

[@Thibault_Art]

Thank you! Happy you liked it :)

[@MariofilmsYoutube]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!! I do not know what to say because my mouth fell to the ground when I saw this amazing K'nex ball machine

[@hardpunkkore9235]

Great to see a new ball machine. Very impressive and super challenging I bet. Even though this is a smaller ball machine than you typically build, this was still no small feat. People who don't build with K'nex simply won't understand that. Maybe this will jump start other creators to build new ball machines as there hasn't been many published lately. Anyway, great stuff Thibault!!! I look forward to more in the future.

[@Thibault_Art]

HardPunkKore Thanks man! I also find it a bit unfortunate that almost all the big knex builders has stopped building machines for a few years. Most builders told me that it was a lack of time, which I completely understand. But anyway, thanks for your comment! :)

[@baronbrrrrett]

An unbelievable work of art 👍

[@GuitaristSJH]

Awesome stuff! I really like all those timed elements, the one with the 3 mini trampoline was awesome :D

[@Thibault_Art]

Samuel Hunt Thanks Samuel! I've seen a few videos of your knex ball machine that you're building. Can't wait when It's finished!

[@steynfokkema7131]

Great machine with clever elements.

[@Thibault_Art]

Steyn Fokkema thanks!

[@FanPlastic]

you never cease to amaze me some of the elements here must have been hard to get the timing just right with the big rotating portion!

[@alexislepage8331]

my jaw is on the floor. Insane hard work ! but i can tell you a lot of people is stunned by this BM. oh btw i saw an interesting coaster in the back ^^

[@Thibault_Art]

Alexis Lepage Haha I was sure that someone would notice the coaster on the background XD. Not sure if I'm gonna finish it tho. Thanks for your comment! :)

[@knexguy139]

Amazing execution. The mechanical elements are very creative. Making the rotating base paths match up with the outer ring continuation paths was no small feat. Congratulations on another awesome build!

[@Thibault_Art]

Green Connector Thanks William! Making a machine that rotates was a real challenge, and I'm sure your upcoming machine will be awesome too!

[@knexguy139]

Thibault Art hehe thanks. Yeah I think it will be too! :D

[@borisvbrknex]

Green Connector you're building a new machine too?

[@FanPlastic]

me too

[@SharpnelBoy]

The fact you managed to figure out how to make the whole thing rotate without anything breaking really amazes me. How did you do that?

[@TulioSounds]

probably just on wheels

[@xxdododoosxx5301]

together with shadowman, u are one of the few that makes really original elements! Its awesome!

[@Hazellius]

An absolutely magnificent piece of work! So many elegant solutions carefully crafted in such a small space, with so many minute details to make the balls flow just right. One of the best K'nex ball machines I've ever seen!

[@Coaster105]

Excellent work! Some really complex mechanisms here. Really impressive.

[@Thibault_Art]

Coaster105 thanks!

[@eonbree8593]

Im still in awe

[@mbcommandnerd]

Path 3 FTW! It’s new element mania!!

[@sams_enfp]

legendary... and nice pun xD

[@Thibault_Art]

Thanks man :)

[@craignewton2294]

That is just amazing ball machine. I like new elements I mean all of it very impressive. So very good work to you.👍

[@Thibault_Art]

Craig Newton thanks!

[@liamunrau962]

This is absolutely stunning!

[@Fishman7523]

how dare you create something so magnificent

[@jessepalmer9957]

It reminds me of perplexus twist, the way all the paths meet up.

[@Thibault_Art]

I looked it up because I didn't know what it was and yes, you're right :)

[@rcetoys2335]

Incredible!! nothing more to say..!

[@Thibault_Art]

IRobbie -D thank you!☺

[@Pikminnicus]

What an awesome build, I love the rotating aspect of the machine! Great stuff man! :D

[@Thibault_Art]

Pikminnicus Thanks. Happy you liked it :D!

[@mizscoleman]

W.O.W. This is kind of Amazing. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@andrewlocke5194]

This needs like 2 millions more views. So cool!!

[@eonbree8593]

Whooot its finally here!!

[@Dheast]

Im impressed very much

[@noice_swiff]

Very impressive this was definitely worth the wait :)

[@Thibault_Art]

Swiffy Pig Thanks! I'm happy enjoyed it!:)

[@Sandroknexmaster]

I once had a similar idea of making a rotating ball machine, but I never got to build it. Anyway, I'm sure I could never have made it this clean, it's a stunning ball machine. Everyone should understand how challenging this build must have been, and I'm pretty sure you're one of the only, if not the only one, who could have made it this great. Amazing!

[@Thibault_Art]

Sandroknexmaster Thanks Sandro! It's true that this was by far the hardest machine to make. I was ready to give up on this machine to be honest. Thanks again for your comment. I should really make some time to come to Brussels one day :).

[@Sandroknexmaster]

Thibault Art We should arrange something indeed :)

[@borisvbrknex]

Absolutely amazing . Inspirational!!

[@FransAdema57]

just perfect ball machine :)))) mine machines are small next to this ones...

[@jastrov9415]

Amazing work ! GG !

[@Thibault_Art]

Jastrov thanks!

[@jessepalmer9957]

Absolutely brilliant

[@casper6349]

Insane man!

[@Thibault_Art]

Thanks!

[@liamunrau962]

How does it spin, is it on one main pivot or rolling on wheels hidden beneath this amazing creation

[@Thibault_Art]

leeroyU 15 There will be a separate video where I show what's underneath it. But you're right, the part that rotates rests on 24 large wheels. And the platform is being pulled by a chain that goes around it.

[@liamunrau962]

Thanks for letting me know, I can't wait for it

[@liamunrau962]

I could never build something like this, I don't have the patience.

[@liamunrau962]

I've only got around 10,000 peices. I could build one, but not like this

[@chikapunk4340]

Instructions please!

[@Thibault_Art]

Instructions are coming soon...

[@sarahendrick1335]

What kind of knex elements did you use for this?

[@chikapunk4340]

Verdy verdy cool I wish I can build like that f I had enough pieces

[@thomaslagoule46]

10:00 ...... 00'

[@chikapunk4340]

Latest knex creation

[@borisvbrknex]

yes! I was waiting for this! let's watch dis shit :P
