Catch Tile

This tile is still in development and is not tuned properly yet to have the exact intended effect. Print at your own risk! I will update the arm when the tuning is complete.

This is a new tile for Hextraction that I made. The idea is that balls will be stopped by the lever arm until there are enough for their weight to lift the arm and release multiple balls. If it is weighted correctly, balls with different speeds will get different behavior, which is pretty cool.

I designed the joint to use a 3mm OD x 20mm screw, but using a 3d printed cylinder that is glued into the hole could also work.

The arms will lift too easily without weight. Glue a ball to the end of the arm to add weight.

All models are scaled up 10x.

Thanks and have fun,
