He doesn't need to make the magnet turn, if the boat is sitting on the ball and the socket that the ball sits in is towards the front, so long as the boat can turn around the ball it will always align with the direction of travel, the sand will push on the hull just like a real boat.

[@makeandmodify9404]

maby you can try a circle of pushing magnets around and under the ball then... tried to reach out to Simon with that idéa but with little success. a strong magnet pulling it down is kind of a problem here when you can get it to move by being lifted and pushed...

[@TheHookUp]

@@makeandmodify9404 I think the only issue with that would be it isn't able to be "recovered" if the ball ever got out of the circle of magnets. In Simon's solution you can always go back and re-attach the ball with the magnet, but if it needs to be inside a circle of magnets you would need to place it back into the middle. Also the ball would need to be heavy enough to displace the sand on it's own instead of being pulled down by the magnet (this might actually produce a finer pattern with more detail).

[@makeandmodify9404]

@@jxscdszx6817 There's a working prototype, and it's called preordering; then having someone else make them. There. I solved all the problems except the ugly plywood top.

[@jxscdszx6817]

@@skeetorkiftwon Yeah but all I'm saying is that it's a lot of work

[@skeetorkiftwon]

@@jxscdszx6817 It is, until you're building ten at a time or so, then you can work from a template. The only question is, "can you set up the motor and assembly cheap enough to make a profit." If the servos etc can come in at $2-300, you can get a board preloaded for about $125 for the patterns and lights, then build all the rings and base out of a single sheet of plywood, or mdf, and glue stack them instead of laser cutting anything for less than $100 per table. hBN (White "graphite" lubricant powder) is cheap, maybe $20/table and may perform better. The lights might run $30. So maybe around $800-$1,000/ table plus shipping.

[@Cammi_Rosalie]

Well, you could shake the table and level out the sand. A motor with an off-balance weight, attached to the underside of the table could be connected to a momentary button. Like an "Erase" function. It would vibrate the table, leveling the sand for a new pattern. (Edited for previous redundant statement.)

I am curious if using a soft silicone mat under the sand would let the ball bearing track soundless through the sand, Giving the ball bearing traction to roll through the sand soundlessly!Instead of Pushing through it? It might take some of the magnetic strength away as well lea stress on the 3D printer motors as well!? A clean Shop-Vac should pull the sand out and make it reusable when it is done! Awesome video I would appreciate knowing if it works???

[@eleeyah4757]

I imagine you might want a weaker magnet. Something that can move the ball, but not draw it all the way down. Maybe an automatically adjusting electromagnet? Or actually, a group of them, say five, arrayed in such a way that they will tend to draw the ball diagonally towards them, rather than straight down through the sand. If the parameters are correct, this should result in the ball being drawn across the sand, rather than through it. Combine with different density sands in layers too, maybe?

[@ivanramirez6730]

I'm convinced that the magnet is attached to close to the ball: Increasing the distance will decrease the attraction between the ball and the magnet, so the ball would become "lighter" and will slide on the sand instead of crushing it.
