Download Free 3D Model GraviTrax compatible piers 3D Print Model

Summary
These pillars (or technically, bridge piers) have been designed and printed because my son got an amazing new toy from Ravensburger: GraviTrax marble run. And of course, during the holidays, we needed more piers to get the marble run built the way we wanted.. we needed.
So here they are: Extra piers to support the original GraviTrax hexagonal base plates.
Optimized for printing time, not for beautiful design. Needed them desperately!

Post-Printing
Play. Maybe some sanding could be required to smoothen the foot (small end) not to brak the original GraviTrax cardboard “play ground”
How I Designed This
First real thingi with Fusion 360
As a hobbyist, I downloaded Fusion 360 some time ago and applied for the educational/hobbyist 1-year license. But then almost did nothing with it.
Ravensburger’s GraviTrax cried for home made parts, and so I started drafting something like the original pier plates, only 3 times as high. Printed an eternity. We needed more, and faster, so I started a new one only applying plasitc where absolutely needed.
Here you are!
