Steve would the bambu set or the thingy set + 10 june updates be the most recent? Are you still working on more updates yet to come. Thanks for the model, its a thing of beauty but quite a challenge to get working
@@user-Atamigaputer Thanks! The Thingiverse and Bambu designs use different methods of driving the tourbillon. Bambu engineers modified my original (Thingiverse) design to use components that they sell, i.e., a DC gear drive motor. Pros and cons: The Thingiverse version uses a stepper motor and an Arduino to control the motor speed. The Thingiverse version is more complicated, using a variable speed drive controller to match the natural speed of the tourbillon. The Bambu version uses a DC motor with a selection of gearing options to match the speed of the motor to the tourbillon's natural speed. The Bambu version is simpler, but you will need to experiment with selecting the correct gear ratio, to match the natural speed of the tourbillon to the motor. I did start working on updated files for both designs, but I have been distracted by other projects. Go to my TH-cam home page and click on "More about this channel ...more" to get my email address if you have any more questions. Regards, Steve
So gladI found this because you actually explain things, have spent 3 days on this damn thing and have achieved nothing with part 1 of the build. The escapement is a total nightmare however watching your video has given me renewed hope. I am not going to attempt any more though because my patience needs a recharge lol. Thanks for this video fingers crossed I will now be able to make some progress
Hi thanks heaps for this vid. Im at escapement assembly stage but note that your model is a little different to mine. In particular, your frame base bridge main has a peep window to help with fork alignment, my thingyverse file does not have that window. Also not sure yet but there seems to be a little miss alignment with shafts between frame base inner and frame base main. I don't see a clean level aligned mesh with the escapement wheel and fork. Where did you source your print files from? I see mcmaven updated some thingiverse files just a few days ago but there a no notes on the changes. Im really keen to get this model working so appreciate your tips. It sounds like you are using a gearbox motor, im going to try the stepper motor method. Did you have a variable speed solution for your gearbox motor?
I got my files from makerworld, link is in the description. I’m not sure if he is keeping the thingiverse files up to date but the makerworld files are for sure up to date because he did a collaboration with Bambu lab for their hardware kits. The gearbox motor I’m using does not have a speed controller but a speed controller would be very useful when troubleshooting the escapement mechanism at the end of the build process.
Thanks for doing this. It is a really useful video. Do you mind if I point to it in the model description? Regards, Steve
Go for it, I’m glad you as the designer found this video useful.

Glad I was t the only one struggling with the internals, and following the official guide

Thats so cool!!!
It is a very cool model.
