About this model
This is a 3D printed pendulum clock with an 8-day runtime and an accuracy of around 1-2 minutes per week. The primary goal while designing this clock was to make it functional as an accurate time keeper. It has a deadbeat escapement which remains accurate with variations in weight or power train friction. I wanted it to have a long runtime so it would still be keeping time if I was away for a few days. It took a few refinements and a few internal metal components to reduce friction enough to allow an 8-day runtime. The gear outlines and escapement were designed using Gearotic with final cleanup in TurboCAD. All the parts were printed on a Prusa MK3 in PLA with a standard single color print head. Layer changes were used to print highlights on the dial. The total print time is just under 90 …
