I’m just mentioning this in case you haven’t. The really good thing is they including plenty of spares in my build kit so we were able on the couple of occasions where we dropped a nut on the floor and couldn’t find it or snapped a watch ‘bar’ to carry on band complete the thing.Īlso whilst there are a plethora of tools included there was no glue (that may be down to what substances can be sent by post across borders IDK) but no worries as we had a tube of Loctite to hand. This is a really good ‘build’ for first timers or those with smaller hands as it’s quite a few less pieces but far more intricate. ![]() A new touch for me so please be careful not to throw it out with the packaging. At the bottom of the package was a USB Stick that contained the 4 building videos. It arrived in a sealed cardboard box, and when opened held three smaller A5 sized jiffy bags with the components in each. It was time to sit down and, with the aid of my son (and his much smaller hands) put together this little Spider we’d purchased from Moyustore.įirst of all, the packaging needs to be mentioned. A complete description is in the rev2 addendum pdf.This is a different kind of review I suppose – Father and Son doing a build together and as you can see building a fine-looking creature by the end of things. All new files have a "rev2" suffix in the file names. Also gear 4b has an optional set screw for easier assembly. This is an even better fix than the previous helical gear update and is recommended for all new designs and as a retrofit for existing clocks. Update 02-Sep-23: Added Rev 2 updates to completely isolate the escapement from gear 3. It is worth downloading these gears and re-printing them even if you have a functional clock. The file names have a "_1" suffixe added by MyMiniFactory to indicate a revision. This change will significantly reduce the possibility of the escapement stalling and stopping the clock. Update 10-Apr-22: Refreshed gears 3 and 4 to add a slight helical angle so gear 3 pushes away from the escapement. Either one would look great on your wall. ![]() You have a choice between the larger more visually impressive clock or the smaller more technically impressive clock. The lighter weight gears need less energy so the runtime was increased. Different hand styles and weight shell sizes are also included.Ī smaller version of this clock is also available ( ) with a 32 day runtime. Multiple clock faces are included with simple numbers or roman numerals. A Prusa MK3S, Creality Ender3, or other similarly sized machine will work great. This design needs a printer with a bed size of at least 210x210x150mm. The list of non-printed components is half the size of my other designs. The complete bill of materials is:ĥ-10 lb. I have noticed that the gears run better when printed using normal PLA, even though silk PLA can produce really nice looking gears. The longest runtime of 21.5 days is a bit aggressive, but the 14.3 day option would be more reliable. The shorter runtimes will be the most reliable and winding a clock every week or two is pretty impressive for a clock that you build yourself. Various options are provided with runtimes ranging from 4.6 days to 21.5 days. This is a great starter clock because of the simplified construction. ![]() Use the forum at to discuss clock making topics or assembly issues.Īssembly is very similar to the smaller version of the clock. Go to to download the latest assembly guide. It has been completely re-designed to minimize the number of non-printed parts.Ī video of the clock and its smaller sibling can be seen at The larger clock is shown about halfway into the video. This is the largest version in my easy to build clock series.
