  • About 12 years ago I looked around online to try and buy a clock kit because I wanted to make something like this. It did not exist. So I decided to build my own. Now these clocks are everywhere. It's so exciting to see so many peoples different ideas on how to make them. Especially with 3d printing now the designs are endless. You did a great job of explaining the different types of escapements and explaining the gear ratios. I so wish this video was around 12 years ago when I started searching. Keep up the great work.

I’ve found ways, but not yet figured out a good easy way I’m happy with - your prints look really smooth - an overview of materials/techniques would be great - how do you deal with clearance, especially accounting for different printers?

One important point is lifetime, where i have a big doubt if printed parts can compete.Our experience of our clocks is more than 30 years and they are still in use. Very nice engineering and presentation.

  • When I was a kid there was a book at the bookstore, that was actually a paper clock kit. I always wanted it, parents always said no. It had pages of the same gear shapes, and you were supposed to cut them out, and glue them on top of each other in layers, until you had a gear rigid enough for a clock mechanism. I always thought it was a neat idea. I doubt 8 year old me could have completed the clock, though.

    • As long as the escapement is working properly -- always allowing the clock to advance the same amount for each swing of the pendulum, never doubling up or not allowing it to move at all -- then the *only* thing affecting the accuracy of a clock is the length of the pendulum.
