Hello this is a kind of instruction guide to my new ball machine Liten.

The instructions are very limited because I had to break it up very quickly to start on my next project. The aim was to fit a interesting ball machine into a cube 1 red rod by 1 red rod. There is a simple step lift and a small white tile track leading back down, a ball machine built more to be simple but have good aesthetics rather than looking huge and bulky. It is powered by a 12 volt motor and has a ball storage space underneath. I hope the pictures help if you have any questions please ask me.

These go in the middle of the machine and attach to the white connectors on the sides

Ummm Yeah

Ii hope these pictures helped at the start I did say they weren't complete instructions as I had to rush to take the machine apart but hopefully after making those pieces and looking at the completed machine you should be able to piece it all together. If it doesn't work please tell me and I will try and help as best I can. I know they aren't very good instructions and I apologise in advance if you become stuck on anything. I hope this helps ;)
