Hello there,
today I present you the K'nex Jigsaw Lift, please keep in mind that bezempje95 originally invented it, but as he deleted his account/ibles/all his stuff I present you my version of it, with instructions.
This one also features a counterweight, making the lift run a tad more smoothley.

Just follow along the pictures and be sure to read the image notes!

I hope you enjoy it!

Well, a floating lift would be kinda cool....

Congradulations, you just finished making the jigsaw lift!
Be sure to switch the motor to the right and watch your balls getting transported up!
No worries, you won't need that many balls ;)
