I see that you are able to move the joints and maintain the interaction between the escapement pallets and escapement wheel in Fusion 360. I have not been able to set up the joints to do this. How were you able to do this? Is there a sliding joint between the teeth of the wheel and the surface of the pallets?
Valuable information. Well explained. Thanks for sharing. I guess getting the slopes right on the contacting surfaces are important to give the pendulum a little push in order to keep it oscillating? It must be a really tiny force?
I've been trying to design my own tourbillon recently, but it just doesn't seams to work,may i ask what kind of escapement your design is based on? Is it based on graham(deadbeat) escapement?
I'd recommend you don't limit yourself to just 100% 3D printed parts. If you can, use pins/dowels, shoulder screws and just regular screws whenever it is appropriate. 3D printing is great and all, but when it comes to shafts (especially small DIA ones), you are way better off with some metal purchases parts - less friction, stronger and way more precise. Good luck.
I strongly agree with this recommendation. I use 1/16" (1.6mm) music wire for arbors in my 3D printed pendulum clock. Friction is reduced considerably with a huge increase in reliability. Run time was increased to 8 days per wind. Most other fully 3D printed designs on the internet have runtimes limited to just a few hours. All of the metal arbors are hidden so the clock still looks to be fully 3D printed.

you should make a vid on how you actually design the escape wheel and pallet fork (like first sketch to component)

nice to see your face! And I’m a cuber too! (I saw your cube on your desk), now to watch the rest of the video!
I like the phrase "increasingly smaller" 😀

can you please make the files accessible? i would greately appreciate it.
Hey man! I want to learn watchmaking as well... Can you please tell what computer software you're using to design these parts?
I use Autodesk Fusion 360!
Hello ! have the possibility for you to share this project on the thingiverse?
Congratulations on the project.

Thanks. I have some brass shafts I was hoping to use in my project because yes- I agree that having everything 3D printed is much less accurate.
