Akiyuki Ball Factory New Style LEGO GBC (V3)

The Ball Factory from Akiyuki is without doubt the most iconic LEGO Great Ball Contraption and has drawn many into building GBCs including me 3 years ago. With 15 synchronized components the Ball Factory is also the most complex LEGO GBC ever designed.

Originally placed on two big baseplates, it was hard to relocate and reliability was a concern with balls dropping into the complex mechanisms causing jams and need for time consuming resynchronizing.

After 3 years of designing and building my own GBCs I thought it was time to attempt building the Ball Factory as a fully compliant and reliable GBC to take to events. To achieve this I've put all components on a frame and used studless beams for more rigidity. Together with other improvements this resulted in this new style and GBC compliant Ball Factory with much improved reliability.
