    The last two pics are pretty sweet! There's so many files to browse thru it can get overwhelming. Any chance you know the file names for these?

    Debating on selling my sysiphus if anyone wants to make an offer or a trade. Its the 36" metal coffee table in walnut with RGBW lights. Were out of space in The pin room and need it for games

    Our Sisyphus end table is upstairs right where the kitchen, great room and center hallway meet - everyone that visits love it, it won't be going anywhere anytime soon. I tell people it is the only pinball I am "allowed" upstairs

    I unfortunately bought the coffee table and it has far fewer placment options because of the size and short height. I was thinking of picking up the end table as it would work way better for my scenario

    Quoted from CrisCrow:

    I understand that completely. Coffee table is beautiful and makes a great focal point in a living room setting but I see how it would be harder to place in a game room.

    For us the end table places well at the junction of the three spaces, so that is the focal point and serves to tie the spaces together. Only bad thing is I don't want to pit a lamp or drinks on it. Since the sofa floats in the room, we have sofa tables behind it to perform that function.

    Quoted from JayDee:

    Thanks! Here is a wider shot of the space. The beams are Douglas Fir king post trusses (3 of them) eight foot on center and are load bearing - Doug Fir decking with 10 inch structural insulated panels on top. They about 20 years old, we recently finished them with Linseed Oil - that was a chore as they and the ceiling had to be cleaned first. Way cheaper than a petroleum based product and natural antiseptic, gives them a soft glow.

    After I started reading this thread a week ago, I got suckered in and bought one, and I don't regret it one bit.

    This thing is mesmerizing!

    I'm glad that you're enjoying it

    the company is having another contest where you can win a side table for designing a track

    Quoted from j_m_:

    I need to do this too, it has been awhile since I loaded anything new. I looked back at this thread and realized it has been about a year since we got our table. I had it set to run 3 hours a day in the evening, and we turn it on whenever we have guests over. No mechanical issues whatsoever. I need redistribute the sand as some has migrated to the outside, but that is about it.

    Only issue is if the power goes out, it sometimes turns on outside my "operating hours". I wish it would default back to the program I set. Pretty minor complaint.

    #228 1 year ago

    I've had to replace the small teflon disc on the underside of the table and occasionally will need to unplug/wait 30 seconds/re-plug it in for the phone app to see it, but those have been my only issues in the 4+ years that I've had mine.

    oh, and re-distribute the sand about once a year. I have mine scheduled to run from 4pm-9:30pm every day.

    #229 1 year ago

    Just curious what speed does everyone have theirs set on? Turtle, hare or somewhere in the middle?

    Are the designs 'cleaner' , the slower it goes?

    #230 1 year ago

    I've got mine set around 20-25%. initially, I had it set to 80% to see the tracks drawn fast and move onto the next, but found that it's more relaxing to let the table draw at a slower pace.

    I haven't noticed any change in [image quality], regardless of the speed that the tracks are drawn.

    #231 1 year ago

    Same for me. Mine is about 10-15% as I like the relaxing nature of watching it.

    #232 1 year ago

    I run mine wide open.

    #233 1 year ago

    Run it at about 20%. I have had it since the initial Kickstarter campaign. One of the first 50 they produced, love it.

    #234 1 year ago

    Run mine around 20% as well. I bought the second ball kit at same time but never got around to putting it in as I like how it runs now.

    #235 1 year ago

    We've ran ours at about 20%, I prefer the designs to take a long time. We love ours and dont regret it one bit but want to sell or trade as the coffee table is not fitting so well in the gameroom with new acquisitions if anyones interested

    #236 1 year ago

    Sounds like the concensus is roughly 20%. I am going to try it for a few days. Now that I have seen all the preprogrammed designs, I can be a little more patient.

    The 'erase' program is actually one of my favorites to watch. I am a simple guy. Lol

    Just saw mention of these tables in the game room thread. Super cool

    #240 1 year ago

    I had a YouTube video sponsored by these tables the other day. It’s nice to see them more widely recognized

    What did you buy? Looking to get one of these for my parents for Christmas and don’t know to go with a stand alone or get crazy with an actual table.

    I got a mini ex in walnut. I love it.

    I think it would make a great gift.

    I’ve been impressed by some of the non mathematical designs.

    Saw this at Costco for $399. 21” display size with leds. It’s Homemedics drift table. Anyone have experience with this? Was looking to get a sysiphus table but this is tempting

    It doesn’t show on their website. I saw it in their warehouse. This is the Best Buy link for $499, but it’s $399 at Costco. I ended up buying it but can always return it if I don’t like it. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/homedics-drift-meditation-sand-table-21-black/6494936.p?skuId=6494936
