Brainstorming, but not coming up with what you asked for. I still think
one of these ideas might help, so here they are.
I pictured using a key-hole tool to make the hole in the top surface
of the wood about 5.8mm for a 6mm ball, then 6mm from about .2mm below
the surface down to 3.2mm belo
Now that's really cool, Kirk! Makes me wonder if LinuxCNC could be integrated
with a MIDI program to produce a music machine?

How about masking the substrate with protective film before cutting the
holes, and then bulk apply the glue (spray on, dipping tray, brush on,
etc.)? Apply balls, then press down entire finished piece with a rubber
mat between the marbles and press bed? Remove liner when done.

The vision of balls pooping out of elastic holes somehow reminded me of

Andy,
If you are familiar with metal shapers, these are commonly used work holders to
enable planing the entire top surface of a workpiece. They are essentially a
four sided shape. The jaw side and the bottom side are square, with the
workpiece side angled at about 2 degrees from the jaw side
In case you wonder why air is superior, it boils down to the
fact that the force of an electric solenoid is inversely proportional
to stroke length, while a pneumatic cylinder has constant force
regardless of stroke length. Air also produces essentially no heat
at the point of use. Unfortunately,
Solenoids generally stink when it comes to motion control. Air
cylinders are much better especially with flow controls attached. Just
control a solenoid valve instead of a solenoid actuator.
You need a 4 way valve to effectively control a small air cylinder. It
would be worth the addition of
I love this discussion!
When kids blow bubbles (from those little bottles) they do so by
dipping a ring with a handle in the fluid. Make a similar ring/handle
the size of the glue pattern you need, use a a linear actuator to dip
it in a pot of glue then bring the marble over and touch the ring.

Thanks,
I think I'll try this approach first. I'll probably use a solenoid
instead of air. Electrical lines are easier to route and require less
additional equipment. I have already built and tested solenoid control
boards to control marbles from a parallel port.

In that case let's reframe the problem.
Build something akin to a felt tipped marker with a dome shaped tip.
Complete with adhesive reservoir instead of ink.
Mount it tip down with a small vertical actuator. An air cylinder perhaps.
Apply adhesive to the wood instead of the marble.
Might that s
Thanks for an approach I did not even consider. You got me thinking
about how to use wicking processes.
I am reticent to use picking up balls since quality control on some
batches (colors) was not that good.
if I can find the right material maybe I can just push them through an
elastic hole.

Take a 1/4" thick piece of hard felt.
Apply the same through-hole and domed countersink as the wood.
Keep it wet by capillary action with your thin adhesive of choice. If the
adhesive is too thick to wet through the back side, apply a dose to the
felt in between marbles with a dipped ball mounted

Most glass is opaque to UV light. The same is true for most clear
plastics. Solar panel glass only needs to be transparent in the
frequencies used by solar panels. Unless I was sure that the glass was

through the glass to c
The transmission curve for glass doesn't permit UV. That wouldn't be a good
application for UV cure compounds.

Edge cure grades might address that issue. They are specifically designed for
those sorts of situations. Check out Loctite UV cure epoxies.

A common problem with non-trivial kinematics is to omit the
acceleration terms from the [TRAJ] section.

I can add if you need a free vacuum pump, a used fridge compressor will
do the trick. Just add some "vacuum tank" like an old gaz bottle or
something similar to get a reserve, as the fridge compressor is quite
slow, and it works well.
