Official K'NEX Topic

The Official K'NEX Thread!

I thought it would be a cool idea for people to share their K'NEX creations in this thread! A couple rules, though:

1: Don't go off topic.
2: Strictly K'NEX in this area! Try to refrain from posting anything else (exception for shaping and such)
3: HAVE FUN! K'NEX is all about it!

4: Don't be Mr. Freeze and brag about his Son of Serpent, that little b*tch... /s

Have fun sharing!

You know what juaheen

^send me your S.O.S and I'll remove it.

It's funny you bring this up--I just today posted a video of my last K'nex coaster, "Cloudburst".

It's a B&M mega/giga that stood about 8 feet high.

Here are all three videos I have uploaded of it:

Maybe, it depends on how much pain and how excited i am in after i put it up. Plus, it depends on what happens between now and then.

It is really upsetting to me that you own a Son of Serpent set.

[Mr. Freeze]

Upsetting as in jealous or as in why?

Because it's not worth the money :/

I'm tempted to post these pictures from a friends Knex Coaster:

I present to you: The great divide!

Programming must have been hard! Epic!

Dirk that is one of the most impressive K'nex creations I've ever seen. I wish I had the knowledge/skill to design and incorporate an automated control system.

Yay after looking at these colorful tracks, I thought that I would do the same for my NL1 tracks!

His previous project was a fully automated boomerang coaster:

What an accurate model and... let me say "Holy Cow!"

I am making a Knex Prone Pediatric Stander (for actual human use.)

The footboard holds me standing on it very well.

I will use my sandles for the foot straps.

I am making this style of Stander and I will be standing in the prone position.

I am now finished with the basic foot board.

Why

I really want to have a pediatric stander for me to use in the prone position. I have high functioning autism. I cannot afford to pay 6,100 dollars for a real one.

This is the real one I want to have to use.

How do those things correlate? You don't have to flaunt having autism.
I think the hard part of building your own out of K'nex, besides having enough pieces, would be making it sturdy enough to support a human weight.

I can stand with both feet on the part I have already built so far with no structural problem. I weigh 195 lbs.

I guess K'nex pieces are tougher than I thought.
