The Soft Landing Freefall uses rubber bands to help balls land more softly, hence the name. I used it on Path 2 in Grid Tower II.

Green Connector Tunnel

Zigzag Tubing Connector Pathing

I used this pathing on Path 7 in Grid Tower II.

Chopstick Pathing

I used this pathing on Path 7B in Grid Tower II. Chopstick Pathing also makes a great fidget : ).

This element is my biggest and most complicated element, so be sure to follow the instructions carefully. I also like to call it my masterpiece. I used it on Paths 8A, 8B, and 8C in Grid Tower II.
