K'Nex Smooth Path 02: JOR

SP02-J.jpg

This is a better version of a smooth path for K'Nex balls. This does not need spacers or grey connectors to maintain the proper width.

The length of two segments using yellow rods is about 12½ inches or about 32.5 centimeters. This can be changed by simply using different connecting rods. These instructions are for two segments.

Supplies

Complete the Purple Assemblies

Connect the remaining purple assemblies to the white connectors. All parts should now be very stable. Add the yellow rods to one end of the purple assemblies.

Complete the Path

Connect the yellow rods of one assembly to the yellow connectors of the other assembly. This completes this path.

This can be supported in may ways. Use a pair of white connectors in place of a pair of yellow connectors to support this from above. Use a blue connector in place of a purple connector to support this from below or from the side.

Enjoy, and smooth rolling!
