Sure newer 3D printers can print really fast, but are the accurate and precise enough to make a working clock?

Love it and great video. Thanks for sharing your process. btw, I am the designer of the clock. You did a great job getting the clock put together. This clock is intended to eventually get ported to wooden gears. It is on my list of things to do. The outer profiles of the gears should be ideal for CNC or laser cutting. The rim and spokes need some added strength. And the frame needs to be designed for cutting from flat stock.

@LetsMakeAThing 9 месяцев назад

Thank you! Your files are top notch. The instructions are super easy to follow and I had zero problems printing all the models!

@Nahngunnarson 4 месяца назад

Steve, your clock designs are great. I have finished multiple copies of three of your designs including the new "moon phase" clock and all work perfectly. One of these is now displayed in a school where my daughter teaches, as an inspiration to students who are learning to do 3D printing in a tech class.

@stevesclocks 4 месяца назад

@@Nahngunnarson Good to hear that you like them. That is exactly where they should be displayed. Hopefully, they will be an inspiration for the students to see what 3D printers are capable of making.

@johnpratt1006 2 месяца назад

I built that exact clock 6 months ago, and it was such a great project. I plan on printing another one but with color shifting filament.

@LetsMakeAThing 2 месяца назад

That's awesome! Hope your second one turns out well!

Great project Curtis! I love it.

Thanks Ed!

@ChadStanton 11 месяцев назад

Pretty cool. I laughed that you took it apart multiple times. That always seems to be the case with me. It's good to know I'm not alone. 😁

@LetsMakeAThing 11 месяцев назад

Nothing in my shop goes together and stays together on the first try. 🤣

@jackfitzgerald6927 11 месяцев назад

Curtis, That is so cool. Good job. Now to make a clock out of lasered wood.

@LetsMakeAThing 11 месяцев назад

That is the next step in my plan and journey. My last video I cut out the pendulum for the clock I'm planning to make so I've started! Hopefully I'll have a video about it in a couple months.

@jackfitzgerald6927 11 месяцев назад

@@LetsMakeAThing I'm looking forward to seeing that. And maybe making it if you put the plans out there.

@robmills4709 11 месяцев назад

That is a wonder to behold, thanks for sharing

Thank you! This project was a lot of fun to build!

Steve does a great job designing these, I’ve purchased two kits. Sounds to me like he’s got too much weight on it.

@JackInTheShop 11 месяцев назад

I have SLTs for a few different clocks. I wanted to try to put one together myself. What is the run time on this clock?

@LetsMakeAThing 11 месяцев назад

The plans come several different wheels for time. It comes with an 8 day, an 11 day, and a third wheel that I can't remember the runtime for. I'm running the 8 day wheel but I haven't been able to let it run that long as it's just sitting in my shop and doesn't have a permanent home yet.

@SylvainDuford 4 месяца назад

That is fantastic, how well does it keep time?

@LetsMakeAThing 4 месяца назад

Sadly, I don't have this up and running anymore (no room). If I remember correctly it would only be off by a minute over a couple days of run time.

@gizmofactory 4 месяца назад

How long does run? How accurate did you manage to get it?

@LetsMakeAThing 4 месяца назад

The design comes with an 8 day, 11 day, and 14 day run wheel. I was using the 8 day wheel in my design. Sadly, I have too much friction from the non-printed parts I bought and wasn't able to get it to run consistently. Nothing to do with the design, it's a great design and many other people have success running this clock for days at a time!

@mattw7949 7 месяцев назад

Nice! What are those gear tooth profiles? They don't really look like involute or cycloid.

@LetsMakeAThing 7 месяцев назад

Honestly, I don't know. If you check the link in the description you can find more information about the clock. I don't remember if the designer talks about what they are on his page or not.

@stevesclocks 5 месяцев назад

The outside surfaces are involute. The inner portions of the spokes and rim can be any shape, so they are optimized for 3d printing. In fact, this profile is only good for 3d printing. All other technologies would do the rims differently.

@alexanderip1003 5 месяцев назад

Is it adjustable (Daylight Saving time purposes)

@LetsMakeAThing 5 месяцев назад

Yes! The hands have a clutch built in so you can freely spin them to the correct position while the clock is running.

@StuHarrison729 3 месяца назад

Great project--you honestly could have made your video longer and I would have enjoyed it (would help with your watch time and appeasing the algorithm gods as well..)
