Marble track - gauss cannons (gravitrax compatible by using my basic tile)

Some different magnetic gauss cannons to use with the basic tile to create some spectacular marble tracks.

Note; this design is ONLY compatible with my 6 exit basic tile. The basic tile is compatible with gravitrax.

These cannons use 3mm thick 20mm wide magnets or 5mm thick 20mm wide magnets.

Note: don't glue them in, leave them a bit loose, they fire much harder when they are a bit loose. (Experiment: https://youtu.be/Qpf9rWg9s4g )

Update 24 July 2020: I've added versions for magnets of thicknesses of 1.75mm, 3.5mm and 5.25mm

Update; tested in a real gravitrax marble track and they fit fine!
