If you’re a Gravitrax fan like me, you’re always on the lookout for fresh ways to supercharge your marble runs. That’s exactly what I’ve found with the Electric Marble Lift V4a from JDO Solutions! This clever motorized lift takes your marbles to new heights—literally—by continuously transporting them back to the top of your track for nonstop fun.
Streamlined Design and Easy Assembly
The V4a version of the Electric Marble Lift has been thoughtfully redesigned for simplicity. It uses fewer parts and offers multiple exit points every 30 mm, allowing you to integrate it seamlessly into your Gravitrax layout. And because it stands at 225 mm tall, it’s perfect for stacking up a creative, multi-layered track.
The picture below shows all components you need to build your own marble lift at home.

My 3D Printing Setup: Bambu Lab X1 Carbon with AMS
To bring this lift to life, I used my Bambu Lab X1 Carbon 3D printer. It’s an exceptional machine for producing high-quality parts quickly and accurately. One of my favorite features is the AMS (Automatic Material System), which makes changing colors and filament types a breeze—perfect for printing the lift in bold, eye-catching hues.

Final Thoughts
Adding the Electric Marble Lift V4a to my Gravitrax setup has been a game-changer. It not only enhances the visual appeal of the run (especially with vibrant 3D-printed parts) but also adds that extra layer of excitement by keeping the marbles in perpetual motion. If you’re looking to level up your Gravitrax experience, I highly recommend giving this motorized lift a go.
