I just want to brag a bit. Printed on an Anycubic Kobra 2. Runs without much problems. At the moment 10 Days on a single winding, tweakble up to 32 days. The weight is from another wooden self build clock.

Edit: cant i upload videos?

Edit 2: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-32-day-clock-easy-build-156759 (12$)

Edit 3: I just printed this clock, i didnt plan it myself if this is unclear…

      I just finished building it, i dont know right now. But it is ofcourse adjustable via the pendulum.

        Yeah pendulum clocks are the kind of thing where you get a feel for how fast or slow they are between resetting the weight and you make small adjustments to the pendulum when you reset. So many factors involved in the physics that it’s never going to be a set it and forget it thing. It does require fewer adjustments once you hone in though

    Something like this is really appealing to me right now. I have younger kids who love making mechanical things. So far it’s been mostly blocks/bricks/the occasional IKEA furniture. My 6 year old really likes analog watches and would probably really like building this. I’ll have to add it to my “to do” pile…

    Nearly finished the same one. Was too cold though and my ender 3 kept warping the bob off the bed. Now it’s warmed up again I should finish it.

    If it’s the same as mine, you had to buy a few ball bearings and steal the springs out of three pens to make it. Also had to use a chopped up fishing jag and a garden trellis for the rods.

    Ah nice! I’ve been thinking of making one based on Harrison’s designs.

    What movement did you go with? just a plain anchor or deadbeat? or use the chance to be more exciting?
