I just purchased several of these toys. I have just finished assembling #5. It looks and works great. Looking forward to assembling kits #4,#6,#7, #8 x 2, #9. Thanks for the videos of your assembled kits... I now know what to look for. ['Kraftwerk is cool audio.]
That seems like a really long time to be honest. That was my first build and I built it in probably a day but it was over 3 nights after work of maybe two hours each really. I will say that I actually think sleeping and taking a break and coming back to it is very helpful because your brain takes in new information and wires it better and you sort of get a new perspective the next time you look at things. There is also a lot of great reference in the manual that shouldn't be overlooked even though it can be difficult to translate the Chinese if you are not a Chinese speaker.
If there was a power switch at the end of the rails (where the marble is picked up) that would turn the marble lifting mechanism to *on* and another power switch at the beginning of the rails (where the marble is released) that would cut power to the lifting mechanism, that would be at least 10 to 12% better.
Good question, but... this alone was a bit harder than it might appear. For example: while I was setting them up, the temperature would change a few degrees and previously stable rails would start spilling balls all over the place, and I'd have to go back to the first one and start again. By the time I'd done the work to make this little vid, I was suffering from SpaceRail fatigue - when the sound of a metal ball hitting the ground starts to trigger anxiety attacks, it's time to move on ;-)
@@jashnashivnani8772 Maybe a day each for level 3 onward - you get faster as you go along. However, the tricky loops on 7 and 9 took longer. I'm determined, but clumsy ;-)
If u wanted could u connect diffrent lvls together? Like jist as an ex: connecting lvl 5+3 or 4+6 etc etc basically making mostly any kind of run you'd wanna make?
don't know why no one answer you in 7 months, but yes, you can join different sets or divide them: buy high level set and build three independent simple rail coasters, no problem. Of course you can build your personal coaster, in the video author presented default ones.
I know this video is old and not much traffic, but I am trying to put a Level 9 together and I can't get the loop inside the loop built. I got the outside, but I can not seem to get the inner loops done. I have tried to do it several ways and just can't get it. I had it at one point, but I didn't have enough of the rail to make the turn afterwards, so I had to undo it and try again. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
It sounds like you're on the right track. I used a couple of cylinders (a water jug and a paper roll from memory) to help form the spirals, you could try that. I must admit I also ordered extra rail so I could start fresh if I got frustrated with how it was forming up. Number 9 is a monster, very hard to get working at all, almost impossible to run it consistently - you can see a ball or two hung up in that vid. Good luck ;-)
@@la7zy505 Thank you for the help! I will give that a shot. Where did you order spare parts from? I tried to find some, but the only place that seemed promising looks like it's gone or never really was.
@@rocketsurgeon11 Yep, I think you're right - it seems spacerails.com died some years ago. How time flies. Looks like there's a fair amount of apparently genuine parts on eBay, Amazon and even AliExpress. Buyer beware, but they are probably more reliable sources than spacerails.com ever was.
Im on 8 and ive gotten the first 2 sections to work and then when i got to the down hill into the horizontal loop i cant it get it to generate enough force to get through the whole loop. I wish i had help with this thing. Im so close to just putting it back in the box
I hope you didn't give up! Yep, those loops are horrible, and mine ended up rather squished after much adjustment. I think the trick is making sure the run down from the top and the first loop are REALLY smooth. Easier said than done X-/
thanks. the covers on the elevators are just office laminator sheets with a touch of. tape. just enough to stop the jolt of incoming balls knocking others out of the screw. cheers
@@Fac-i1k Now that I think about it, some of them may have been just standard office document sleeves - it doesn't take much to keep the balls in there, but if the sleeve is too rigid/restrictive the additional friction can cause the screw motor to struggle. I suppose it is kinda cheating, but... you can't get that kind of expert advice just anywhere ;-P
My boyfriend is a big fan of roller coasters and automatons so I am thinking about giving one of this sets as a present. Which one would yo choose? Can you tell me how big they are when they are built?
Howdy. I've added some info to the description if you want to check that out. I recommend you start your boyfriend off with Level 1 and maybe Level 4. That way he can get used to the quirks with Level 1, then pull it to bits and use it for spare parts when making the more advanced ones. Level 4 is a nice size, the site says 61 x 25 x 36 cm (24 x 10 x 14 inches). They get quite big and hard to move around from 5 upwards. Cheers
@@aureliusprimus you're welcome! I just recently built the Level 3 and it was a ton of fun and my boys and I love it. AliExpress has a ton of them for decent prices.
Could you advise me which level to choose for the first time 5 or 4? Because I'm afraid that level 5 will be too difficult. Sorry for the mistakes, I don't know English very well.
Great music choice ^-^ Thanks for the upload!

The level 3 space rail took me 10 days to complete...
That seems like a really long time to be honest. That was my first build and I built it in probably a day but it was over 3 nights after work of maybe two hours each really.

First thing that popped into my head was Kraftwerk! The rest is cool too.
If there was a power switch at the end of the rails (where the marble is picked up) that would turn the marble lifting mechanism to *on* and another power switch at the beginning of the rails (where the marble is released) that would cut power to the lifting mechanism, that would be at least 10 to 12% better.

Nice😁
I really like how you show the white rails in high contrast, they look like they are glowing. Is that due to the video settings?
Thanks, but that's a complete accident. I was glad it worked at all - cut, scene, print!
Great！！！
Where can I get the cover for the Spacerail elevator?
ever think of trying to use the gate switchers and spare parts to get all 9 of them linked together into one massive system?

First ever spacerail i made (almost) was level 5 at 14 in a nutshell i threw it all over my room cause the loopings didnt work after a few hours 😂😂

Hi, I'm in the U.K and cant seem to find anywhere to buy this apart from the space rail website. Can anyone help me?
Very fine !! Are rails made with metal or plastic ? 😀
Plastic; posts are thin metal. You wouldn't want metal rails though it would be way too heavy; plus some of the newer sets glow in the dark.
@@MikeMPharmaCyclist Thanks a lot !

5 has a loop that I had trouble with, so I'd say 4. Cheers
Why do 7 and 8 look more complicated than 9 💀
Are the rails sensitive to black light or are there ways that you can change the color?
Can you build a new own designed spacerail?
did spacerails go out of business?
Is this too difficult for a 7 year old
Level three big let down.
Agreed
