Hey there, been doing research and people say the mainspring has to be printed from PETG. The hairspring is better with PLA but I guess not for the mainspring. -Best
generally a main spring escapement usually lasts 30-15 day's!! most just use tempered metal! U just need a reverse escapement winding 2 test how to wind this up!! good luck!!

Congratulations on your research position

I think plastic wont produce enough torque for a long lasting movement. Will you go for a metal one in the end? Or bite the bullet and use weights?
Blacksmith Joe i’ll probably end up using a metal one... but I have no clue where I can acquire one
@@kyleikuma5790 How about pulling one from a cheap tape measure?
@@kyleikuma5790 did you figure out how to acquire a metal mainspring?
