Directional Switches

The idea was inspired by the original design of Fredle1957 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4754651

I really like the design with two exceptions: 1. I wish the entrance and exit of the tile would be level with the official Gravitrax tiles, and 2. I'd like a design that can be printed in two colors for aesthetic reason. So although the idea is from him I redrew the whole thing from scratch. I also added the V configuration which function the same way.

The height discrepancy between entrance and exit of the tile is 5mm or equal to a black half height tile. Due to the smaller gradient it is advised that marble enter with a slower speed. If you want faster speed you should use Fredle's design


Ring is printed separately and simply insert to the tile. It works even without glue but glues would make it sturdier.
