How exactly dO THE Video instructions work?
Immediately after purchase, you will be redirected to an unlisted YouTube playlist featuring all the video instructions. Of the 9 playlist videos, the last 6 are private. To prevent piracy, your Google/YouTube account's email address will be manually granted access to the private videos within 24 hours of purchase. The first 3 videos in the playlist are immediately viewable, as they keep most builders occupied until the private videos are unlocked.
Unlike typical YouTube how to videos that hurriedly reveal how to make something, the pudding machine's instructions show how to attach each piece one-by-one, while pausing at key moments for Marcel to describe a concept thoroughly.
Similar to giving a man a fish versus teaching him how to fish, the videos are designed so builders truly learn the skills needed to make the pudding machine, and food automation models at large.

How much does the MACHINE cost?
The prices are shown on the "Products" tab of this website.
If you purchase each piece on Bricklink, the almost 1,900-piece model will cost ~$0.09 per piece, similar to the rate for LEGO® products.
For an American, the elements that are not LEGO® pieces, like the liquid tubing and ingredients, cost around $10 and $4, respectively.
We made sure buying everything for this machine is almost as easy as buying a boxed set, but we are ready to be at you service via email.

What tools and materials will I need for this MACHINE?
Besides the instructions, you will need the required parts and ingredients. See the "+" button by the "Products" tab on this website for more details.
How LONG DOES THE MACHINE TAKE TO BUILD?
With shy of 1,900 pieces, the machine should take you as long to build as an official LEGO® set with a similar part count. That is upwards of 3 hours 20 minutes, the duration of all the instructional videos, considering delays from looking for pieces to playing with the mechanisms.
if the mechanism does not work well, will you help me troubleshoot?
Absolutely! Double-check that you did not miss or misplace a piece, and if all looks correct, contact us via the "Contact" tab on this website to explain your issue and expect a response typically within 24 hours.
Do you have a refund policy?
See BuildaMOC's return policy.
Will MORE Machines be made available on Majorstem.com?
Depending on how reception towards the pudding machine goes, then hopefully!
Is the machine compatible with my country's currency?
The machine accepts coins about 24mm in diameter, including but not limited to 25¢ USD, 25¢ CAD, €0.50, £0.10, 2 kr. and 5 Kč. Smaller coins can be used by adding LEGO pieces to the coin rejection rails.
