This is a fully functioning 3D printed grandfather clock. Using mainly 3D printed parts, this clock was specifically engineered to be assembled in minutes, and can run for over 6 days on a single winding. With a little bit of tuning, it can accurate keep time with that classic tick-tock sound.

7:14 pure talent and skill!
Just bought the files.
Can't wait to build!
I start printing today!
i start my print today! So excited!
this is amazing!
So awesome! I’m thinking I will purchase and build it! How loud is the ticking from the finished clock?
I would love to print this but how much thread do I need? Also I couldn’t find the links to the videos for the slicer programs because I use Ultimaker Cura and I don’t know hot to get it to change the print colors
Please could you link the video you mentioned in your video about how to do two colour printing
Hey love the design and enjoyed making it. I'm amazed how you can design something like this, fascinating! I would love to see more about the design process in a future video. I've purchased and built the clock and would love to get it working, my clock stops after a few minutes no matter what I try. I've read through the full discord and tried most things suggested. Any chance of a trouble shooting video? Thanks :)
hmmm
it stops after a few minutes?
simple things first, you say you've tried most things, but not all,
are your bearings properly spining? as in, all of them? cause clocks can and are very sensitive to that kind of stuff, thats why it was designed with actual ball bearings.
Would there be any reason not to increase the mass of the weight by for example adding ball bearings? I am thinking about the rigidity of the prints
Hello, it prints very well. Question - my bearing fit very very tight. Some of them crack the base. Is there something I am doing wrong? The print seems very clean so I didn't sand anything out. Help appreciated.
If possible, would love to see this redesigned to use the 608-2RS Skateboard Bearing, 8x22x7, Sealed
The clock faces with numbers are on STEP files. Can we get the STL files for these items? Thanks
How do I use one of your other escapements on this clock? Such as the rolling ball or flying pendulum?
Consider pressing over hammering
How long it goes with that weight in your position?
How many hours does it work with one "charging"?
Layer to layer bonding on the 3d printed parts continues to be a weak point. 6 different pieces have now broken,(seperated) typically where a column steps down in diameter. An increased wall thickness would help this. Do you know what setting in cura addresses this?
I have noted the bearings I purchased on Amazon are stiff creating a lot of drag. I'm sure this is hurting clock performace.
why two washers? is it just for spacing, or is there some other reason?
Danke für die Daten, ich habe es ausgedruckt und zusammen gebaut. Soweit funktioniert alles, allerdings bleibt das Pendel nach ca. 1 - 2 Minuten stehen. Woran kann das legen? Super Video und super Dateien
Denke mal zu viel Reibung im System, also dass nicht genügend Energie in das Pendel gesteckt werden kann. Guck mal, ob du evtl Reibung minimieren kannst, zb indem du die Kugellager Ölst oder so.
Could this clock be scaled to be a bigger size? Looking into making a clock like this, and I love the design, but I wanted a little bit of a larger footprint on my wall.
Since the movement is timed by the pendulum, you should be able to scale it up, it just might take some extra adjusting of the pendulum. Might need to be longer or have a heavier weight, etc. Just be sure to account for the holes getting bigger when purchasing your bearings and screws.
Also the discord invite link doesn’t work anymore on the website
What are the threads on the pendulum parts? I would like to use a tap/die to clean them up after printing.
I just scaled up the Pendulum Adjuster and the Pendulum Adaptors by a factor of 1.04. Everything screws together easily now.
how do you get the bottom layer perfect.. you see every line of the bottom layer in my prints
First off, LOVE the work and ingenuity. second off, can you recommend what to do if when printing the gears, you can't get them to mesh and spin freely? I'm currently trying to print at like 99% scale to see if it helps, but so far it hasn't been a good solution. third off, I don't think your clock Discord link works :)
again, LOVE the work! keep it up.
Appreciate that! The problem may lie in how they get screwed in, or if they are too tight. Try joining the discord with this link: discord.gg/nBpvC89FU6 and send some videos and the community and I will be able to help you figure it out!

There aren’t any links for the two colour printing…
Hey Man,
Amazing video. Loved it.
I am post graduate engineering student at IIT Bombay.
I want to learn to create CAD model and assembly of all parts.
Can you help me with that??
Great model! All the parts using just one bearing are however very loose, especially the second hand and escapement cog. It's so loose that the tip moves about 5mm in all directions. Perhaps the bearings are poor quality, I don't know. All parts ordered from Aliexpress. The cogs rotating on two bearings run well.
How many pejulum links are there meant to be. I couldn’t tell from the video. Please answer this. Thx
I purchased the plans and assembled this! I got it to run for about an hour, but it eventually stops. I've fiddled with the escapement, adjusted the pendulum weight, made sure the screws aren't too tight on the bearings, etc. Any ideas to get it to run longer? Can I add more weight? It seems to run better when I pull down on the 5 pound weight. Thank you !
You can absolutely add more weight! That would definitely help
One note, the washer link goes to an empty shopping cart, not the washers you purchased.
Thanks for the heads up!
is it possible to paint it with spray paint?
It's possible but I think it would impede the motion of the clock!
Hey, for some reason, when I try to slice the files in Cura, it crashes my pc. Did anyone else have this problem. Btw I tested it was your files because I can slice any other files without it crashing
There are no errors in the stl files. Some of the files are large and really make the cpu work when slicing. Be patient...they will eventually slice...
I can’t get it to run for more than a minute or two. I’ve made sure every gear spins freely with no binding or rubbing. Eventually the pendulum loses speed and then it just stops. Wondering what I did wrong. And I can’t for the life of me get it to have an equal beat after hours of trying. Maybe my filament has more friction than yours?
I have the same issues. I have reprinted now and still the same issue. I have added more weight taken some off it ticks really loud and the pendant wobbles its tick pattern is not even. And it stops about 50 seconds on
I took it apart and made sure everything wasn’t too tight and spun for a few seconds if flicked quickly. After a few weeks of tweaking the pendulum I’ve got it working for 4-5 days without stopping. Keep at it.
Does anyone else’s gears grind
So I don't understand this clock...
You are aware that there are 60 minutes in an hour right?
So why aren't there 60 ticks, or lines on the minute wheel?
Your minutes dial only has 13 ticks, or lines on it. Which would make it impossible to actually tell how many minutes past the hour it is. You would only be able to know the hour & seconds, but not minutes.
So why is there only 13 lines for the minutes instead of all 60 like a normal clock?
it's in increments of 5, starting at 0 :p
