pictures of a 'kickstarter edition' set
here are some pictures of how your marble chute sets will look. each one will have the backer's name engraved on the lid!
as far as the issues with the lasercutter are concerned... they haven't been completely dealt with. i am making progress with you peoples sets, which is the main thing, but it is much slower than it should be, and although the laser we are using is a very good machine, it just so happens that mdf contains alot of glue, and lasercutting mdf creates alot more smoke than even some plastics, so if the filters aren't working properly, that is a major problem.
here's a link to a new video of the marble chute hanging at modulor.
i will post again as soon as the first sets are in the mail, sorry for the major delay, thanks for your patience!!!!

you get 12.5 meters of the rails I used to build the world's longest marble chute. Obviously there is a longer waiting time for this. First I have to build it, then, when the record has been broken, I take it apart, pack it into a special box which is inscribed with your name as an official sponsor, and that the contents were part of the world's longest marble chute. + your name is listed as an official sponsor.

from a purely material viewpoint, this one has the best value. This gets you the 'delux' model, which can be built to a length of over 25 meters. This one might impress the grandchildren. + your name is listed as an official sponsor.

you come and spend 3 days helping me build the world's longest marble chute. This will probably take place in berlin this summer, unless somebody takes the $6000 incentive, in which case it could end up happening anywhere in the world. Traveling and Lodging expenses are covered by you. As far as the date is concerned we can hopefully work a schedule out so that everybody can make it. If you can't make it you get two 25 meter marble chutes as compensation.

I build the world's longest marble chute in your house. You have to have a pretty substantial house for this. (It doesn't have to be your house either, you can arrange for me to hang it up in your local mall -that might just be big enough.) + your name is right at the top of the list of official sponsors.
