@Berthil 's speed is incredible. Thanks for your hard work. Im also impressed by the speed you push out the updates to the instructions.

Started with Part 1. On step 4 the part count in the info area is wrong. Only 2x 3023 and 1x 18975 added in this step. Or am I blind ?

Im fine with it. its not really pressing against the ground its more of a touch.

My version of Akiyuki's Catch & Release

This is an awesome piece of art. Congratulations. Akiyuki's module was impressive but yours takes it to a higher level. And even with power outages this complex module can still run.

thats the reasen why I skip it. and he mentioned its not reliable in long runs

sounds great @Berthil and that was quicker than U've expected, or not?

now also available on rebrickable.com https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-24081/dunes/gbc-catapult/

tweaked a bit here and there and now runs on 5 til top. looks and sounds more like your Ball Shooter, @Berthil

Using the train power supply set on 6. Maybe some more tweaking necessary. Took awhile to get the wheel spinning that fast that ball shot til top. had to rebuilt the whole gear train. but now its ok.

+1 I use an old 19V laptop power supply with step down converter set to 12V to power severeal train controller. I framed the converter in Lego. they are really cheap in Germany without power supply. I pay for each unit just 6-10€

man you are fast. Was currently writing my comment to this thread. Here some pictures. rermoved the chain from gears

I took sawyer's Spiral Lift to a higher level xD Sawyer's thread 7 levels and Akiyuki style and input.

Bricksafe link is enough I think.

I have all parts for the Ball Factory laying round for over 6 month. But haven't started yet. And I can start building parallel with U. So we can share experiences and sort out the issues we face during the build process. In short: Im in start building Ball Factory 3.0

great to hear that u've found the issue.

Thanks for sharing. I might consider pneumatics for one GBC module.

Can I have i picture from the backside (wheels area) ?

Have U tried to swap the upper liftarms? 7 and 13. when dose the jam happen? on the way down or up?

Looks really good. Have U tried to attach the counterweight above the hopper (frame). maybe this stabilizes the angle from the moving part better when load is on.

Almost finished with my version. Only waiting for some red colored parts from Bricklink. New central attachment. all arms on one level. 30 balls on input bin.

No its not possible, but U can select more than 1 wanted list when U want to buy parts.

Currently working on these issues. Using @Berthil's input from Rainbow Wave, Akuyuki's frame and using technic bricks and plates to make the rotating axle sturdier. Also small changes on the ball pickup.
