  I'm trying to figure out how to continuously lift a stream of incoming pieces up vertically, at least 10cm. This is my first real custom build attempt, so I'm very much at a loss on how to go about it. Are there books or sites or other resource likely to contain part lists and build instructions for a vertical conveyor belt?
  
  Only thing I've found so far is this absolutely **delightful** video of The Great Ball Contraption, but while providing lots of inspiration, I don't know enough to reverse engineer it or even really figure out which parts are which.

  You're in luck! Jason at [JK BrickWorks](https://jkbrickworks.com/marble-run-elevator-and-alternator/) has put his instructions online. There are others I've used; I'll hunt for those links, too. He's made multiple Ideas sets, so this might be how Lego officially makes a marble run set, which would be **fantastic**.
  
  Here we go: I've built [Brian Alano's wheel lift](https://lawriege.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Wheel-Lift-12x12-1.pdf?3e5ecc&3e5ecc) and [Bryan Bonahoom's stackable lift](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d53ea2208034a00012c0a1e/t/5e42b80bca0f7862fc7cea45/1581430799032/Stackable+GBC%2C+rev+11.pdf) and enjoyed great success with both.
