Quick answer
The Circuit Cubes Maker Mix bundle gives you a versatile collection of structural parts—bushings, gears, axles, and bricks with holes—plus a cloth bag for storage. It's a great expansion for anyone who wants to build moving models without buying a full kit.
What the Maker Mix includes and why it matters
The Maker Mix bundle focuses on mechanical and structural components rather than electronic modules. You get 12 bushings, six 8-tooth gears, six 24-tooth gears, six 9m axles, four 1x4 bricks with holes, two 1x12 bricks with holes, two 4x8 plates, and a cloth storage bag. These parts let you build frames, gear trains, and axles that work with any Circuit Cubes motor or battery cube you already own.
Because the set has no cubes or wires, it's best for expanding an existing collection. The included gears and axles enable speed reduction or torque multiplication, which is essential for robots, vehicles, or any project that needs controlled motion.
What you cannot build without additional parts
The Maker Mix does not include any Circuit Cubes (motor, battery, or LED), wires, wheels, or connectors. If you are starting from scratch, you will need at least one Cube set to power your creations. The bundle is purely a structural expansion—it adds building possibilities but not electronics.
Also, the 1x12 bricks with holes are relatively long for a small parts set, so consider your storage and workspace. The cloth bag helps, but you may want a sorting tray for the smaller bushings and gears.
How to decide if the Maker Mix is right for you
- You already own a Circuit Cubes motor and battery: The Maker Mix adds structural depth—gears, axles, and bricks—so you can build moving machines instead of static structures.
- You want to teach gear ratios or mechanical advantage: With both 8-tooth and 24-tooth gears, you can demonstrate speed vs. torque trade-offs in a hands-on way. Pair with a motor cube to test different ratios.
- You need a compact parts expansion for travel or classroom use: The cloth storage bag keeps everything together, and the part count is low enough to fit in a small bin.
