Super cool! I would love to see a white / clear one with LEDs. Rainbow road :)

I've actually done clear prints with LEDs installed. The bottom is much brighter than the top and it just look kinda tacky. I briefly hollowed out the supports and tried running fiber optics but it didn't help much.

I'm realizing now that I tried a lot of weird shit during this project that just did not work at all or make it into the final product, I should do another video just of all my failed abomination marble runs.

Please do! Also just some footage of the machine running from specific angles for a few minutes would be lovely! Nice work! :)

Minor suggestion/request: would be great if you added a final STL file to the github repo of a working example. Might be easier for people to try if they can't get the python code running on Linux.

(I haven't tried yet. But I'd love to just send an STL to my printer to see how well it prints.)

White/clear is just a matter of picking filament, I'm not sure LEDs would be easy to incorporate into the build
