I love that clock! I think I came across it before, but it’s quite an undertaking to make. But it looks fantastic!
Thanks! Love that clock too. Its not that hard to build. If you are thinking about printing it too, just do it.
So, does the clock work well? How long does it run? Would you recommend that print? Any caveats?
Yes, it works very well. Like in another answer described, there are multiple run time versions. Im running it in the 15 day a single winding version. Once some problems like too greasy bearings and not too well running gears were solved, it runs just fine. Its possible up to 32 Days but thats a bit of a challenge.
I recommend it. Its a wonderful project.
What? 15 days? I thought they run for like 6 hours or so. Now I’m interested in printing one.
Go ahead, its worth it.
So you’re just gonna keep your flour and sugar there from now on? Doesn’t seem convenient
But is cheap.
It acutally is just for fun. Im trying to find the cheapest weight. I already have a printed weight with BBs in it. Im just dumb. And maybe i can sell one.
Any videos of the clock working ?
Nice print!
So you saw the post a week or two ago too, eh? This is on my list of things to print next. How was assembly?
A month ago i posted this clock with another weight, maybe you refer to that post? Assembly was pretty straight forward. It comes with a nice guide. It ran directly after assembly in the 10 day version, i tried 32 days but couldnt get it to run. But ill try again.
I didn’t realize that the original post was you. Are the 10 and 32 day versions different designs to purchase or do you get both variants?
A 10 day version actually sounds somewhat more appealing to me, it will give my kiddo more excuses to interact with the clock.
There are 5 Versions, at least with the 32 day clock. 7, 10, 15, 21 and 32 days runtime. You just change two gears to apply them.
There are other designs with lower possible runtimes, i dont know how many versions they got.
