Hello, does anyone know how to make a track with basic materials such as cardboard? I want to make a track like the one from 3dbotmaker

All the materials you need to build a track are cardboard and tape . Hot glue is vert helpful , I recommend it . But the most important things you will need are space , and patience . Once you figured out how much room you have , you can start planning out (on paper or in your head) what do you want your track to look like . Making a track out of cardboard is time-consuming , so start small (you don't need to make it as big as 3DBotmaker) , and then , when you got more experience , you can build a bigger one . You're gonna need supports to build your track upon , and you can use cardboard for that too . Making the roads is the easiest part : cut a 8cm large cardboard piece , and tape 1cm high barriers on the side . The turns are more tricky : I've done a tutorial on how to make inclined turns , you can check it out . Here are some pictures of the 3 cardboard track I built :
Simple to build , simple to repair

You can make something great with little space by being creative
Cardboard can allow you to make awesome things if you take your time .
There's a lot you will have to figure out by yourself : just start making cardboard track pieces , ans tape them together . Here you go , you have a track . That's how I started anyways .
