  • Begin by designing the parts of your marble maze game. This includes creating the maze paths, walls, exit point, and ensuring the parts are sturdy enough to hold securely.
  • Add features like covering or decorations for a personalized touch.
  • Use Fusion 360's modeling capabilities to refine and optimize your designs for 3D printing.
  • Once the designs are ready, export the parts as STL files.



STL files:-

  • Load the STL files into your 3D printer software.
  • Configure the printing settings (layer height, infill, etc.) for optimal print quality.
  • Print both parts using your chosen filament.




Painting the Parts
