Thanks Brian. I attribute the accuracy mostly to the deadbeat escapement. It is quite tolerant to changes on drive weight. Heated and air conditioned houses also helps a lot by keeping the temperature stable.
Each color is at a slightly different height. The print is paused at a specific height to manually change the color. I also only have a single extruder machine.
Is it possible that you have mixed up gears from different designs? Some of the names are similar between different size clocks. Another possibility is mixing runtimes. For example, the unique gears in the 8-day runtime option will not mesh with the 10-day runtime option.
Sure, it could be done. There are huge variations in chain sizes that would be frustrating to other builders around the globe. I try to simplify each design using commonly available components.
Wow. I want to print this and hang it outside my house. what material's have you had success with? In the uk PETG will probably not deform if in the shade.
Thanks. I am preparing the design for posting to MyMiniFactory right now. It should be there by the end of the week. The complete nonprint parts list will be in the assembly notes. It mainly consists of 1/16" (1.5mm) music wire for the arbors, 1/8" (3mm) metal rod, some common size wood screws, 5 bearings, some 1/8" or 3mm shaft collars, fishing line, and lead shot or BBs for the weight shell.
@@stevesclocks Thank you steve. What is the bearing model? can you please provide a link for the shaft collars. Can't wait to print it (all with silk pla)
@@niraviv8431 The clock uses two R2 (1/8x3/8x5/32") or 623 (3x10x4mm) bearings to support the pendulum and 3 608 (8x22x7mm) bearings to support the weight shell. Unshielded bearings are best, followed by rubber seals since they can easily be removed. The 6 shaft collars are Great Planes GPMQ4305 or DuBro DUB139.
@@stevesclocks I must be an idiot, because people have built this clock... I've been to my Mini factory and here and can't find a concise list of parts (non-printable) needed. This thread has some, and then someone asks about another part and you give more info. I plan on buying the large clock, I just want to ensure I can get the parts. I've been bit before building things made in Europe, just to find I can't get a part needed to complete it, without spending an arm and leg. This looks like an amazing project, and I will buy it, pending parts availability. Have a Merry Christmas!
@@christopherenoch4230 You are not an idiot to question the parts needed. The only way to get a long run time, and in my opinion the only way to build a real clock is to use a few non-printed parts. They are fully listed in the assembly manual, but MyMiniFactory does not let you see it until you purchase the complete design. It is publicly posted to www.patreon.com/posts/assembly-notes-42469990 Both the medium and large sized clocks have similar assembly notes. The large clock has options for either metric or imperial sized components. The medium clock was simplified to only metric components since I found them easy enough to acquire in the US. When I get a chance, I will cross link the files on various platforms so the assembly manual and parts list are easier to find. I wish MMF would allow me to mark a few files to be public so anyone can seen them before purchase.
Would you please design a piece for me I am testing a eccentric gear they say has 3 times more strength then a normal gear Hopefully you will Thanks Your clock looks amazing
Yes, it would print nicely at 50% scale with 4 perimeters and a 0.2mm nozzle. It may also print well with 2 perimeters and a 0.4mm nozzle, other than the tooth tips might be rounded over. You would need to adjust for the smaller arbors and bearing hole sizes.
The accuracy is primarily determined by the pendulum length and escapement type. Scaling everything up 200% while keeping the pendulum length the same should result in similar accuracy. This clock uses a carbon fiber rod for the pendulum shaft which is very stable over temperature variations.
Thank you Steve for introducing us to this very successful new model. I can't wait to reproduce this marvel.
The choice of filament is excellent.
Thanks. Silk Purple PLA has become my new favorite color. It really shines.
Really enjoyed printing this beauty. Great work Steve. Took my time and it paid off. Keeps very good time too.
Thanks Brian. I attribute the accuracy mostly to the deadbeat escapement. It is quite tolerant to changes on drive weight. Heated and air conditioned houses also helps a lot by keeping the temperature stable.
Very beautiful clock but how do I print the clock face with the numbers because my printer that I’m getting only has one extruder
Each color is at a slightly different height. The print is paused at a specific height to manually change the color. I also only have a single extruder machine.
Got it 👍
the winding gear does not mesh with the rachet gear to small
Is it possible that you have mixed up gears from different designs? Some of the names are similar between different size clocks. Another possibility is mixing runtimes. For example, the unique gears in the 8-day runtime option will not mesh with the 10-day runtime option.
Very interesting design, lots of attention to many small details, great job and well done!
Thanks. That means a lot to get positive comments from a fellow clock designer. I have been enjoying your various clock designs for a while.
good job, great runtime!
Absolutely beautiful clock! My favorite color as well. Great job!
I purchased the large pendulum clock designed in 2020. Do you have a list description of the non 3D printed parts?
The download includes a pdf file with all the details.
Hello, can you make version driven by handle and weight connected with chain?
Sure, it could be done. There are huge variations in chain sizes that would be frustrating to other builders around the globe. I try to simplify each design using commonly available components.
@@stevesclocks you can try to use 3D printed chain, so this way you need even less not printed parts :)

Beautiful
Wow. I want to print this and hang it outside my house. what material's have you had success with? In the uk PETG will probably not deform if in the shade.
Excellent question. Unfortunately, I have no answer. I only use PLA, which is obviously not a good choice. PETG seems like a good option.
Very Beautiful - just purchased it and I intend to print it on my large format resin printer
Can't wait to see how it looks and how it performs. Please post pictures if you get a chance.
Can you let me know where to buy the pins?
The metal arbors are music wire, available at hardware stores, eBay, Amazon, or many other places.
Exposed mechanics are B-E-A-utiful ❤
Wonderful clock!
Awesome work!
WoW Steve, what an amazing job!. I just searched for a new clock to print and I found yours. what nonprint parts do I need to get?

Your clock looks amazing
Still haven't completed the original design. Agree with THX4. Exciting news and look forward to the release of the new designs. Keep up the good work
Wow, nice engineering!
Superb!!!
How an I buy this kit
The STL files are available at www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-large-pendulum-wall-clock-137009
If you printed it with a 0.4mm nozzle, could you just rescale it in the slicer to 50% if you printed with a 0.2mm nozzle?
Yes, it would print nicely at 50% scale with 4 perimeters and a 0.2mm nozzle. It may also print well with 2 perimeters and a 0.4mm nozzle, other than the tooth tips might be rounded over. You would need to adjust for the smaller arbors and bearing hole sizes.
Whats happens to the accuracy if you blow it up 200% ?
The accuracy is primarily determined by the pendulum length and escapement type. Scaling everything up 200% while keeping the pendulum length the same should result in similar accuracy. This clock uses a carbon fiber rod for the pendulum shaft which is very stable over temperature variations.
