More details would really help here.
we can use cardboard and clear tape, with a maximum height of 7 feet. A marble needs to make it around an 8 inch diameter loop we have tried to use cardboard tubing by cutting it in half and slitting the sides so it would curve the ball couldn’t make it up the loop I guess it was too flimsy and bumpy.
