Descrição

Summer sale is here till end of August! Use the code MECHA40 for 40% off applicable to the entire store! The Tourbillon Mechanica is an almost entirely 3D printed functional mechanical clock (except for metal pins and screws) This skeletonized mechanical clock with a tourbillon escapement is designed to showcase a basic mechanical watch's mechanism. It has a unique hour and minute indicator that runs around the perimeter in order to showcase the entire mechanism. Detailed assembly video guide: https://youtu.be/E9prY3ky6Bo Detailed assembly guide, preparation and printing details: here I received many requests on whether or not the Base (The largest single piece part) can be fitted onto some printers with slightly smaller rated build volume. There is a new split base and ring gear option that only requires a 160 x 110mm build area to print the entire model. The base and ring gear files can be downloaded for free as a fit check here. Links to additional hardware that I used: 1.5mm OD Pins: Link 2.0mm OD Pins : Link M2 Scews: Link Sheet Spring Steel for mainspring : Link (Optional as I highly recommend using the 3D printed PETG spring) Update Oct 09, 2021 Design Update: - 10_Base_Split : Added split base option to reduce minimum printer bed size requirement significantly to 160 x 110mm - 13_Ring_Gear_Split : Added split Ring gear option to reduce minimum printer bed size requirement Assembly Guide Update: - Page 3 : updated min print bed requirement from 220x220mm to 160x110mm - Page 4-5 : added split base and ring gear assembly details Update Dec 6, 2020 Added Step file of Base for those who wanted to try modifying it to fit smaller print beds. Step file can also be downloaded for free in the link above Update Oct 27, 2020 Added 2 new files: 07_Hairspring_Thin - Thinner hairspring to provide more headroom for frequency adjustment. 45_Tourbillon_Ring_Gear_Larger_OD: Received some feedback that ring gear is too loosely fitted to the Base. Modified with larger 0.8mm larger OD for a tighter fit, increased clearance between runner gear and ring gear for smoother meshing. Update Sep 13, 2020 Added the Escapement mechanism explanation in the assembly guide. Added a Stp file of the escape fork for those who want to optimize the performance further. Added a "safe" escape fork design (03_Escape_Fork_Reduced) that should be able to cater to more significant variations in assembly, printer setup, print settings, etc. (I recommend those who had issues with the mechanism slipping and jamming to give this version a try) Added high res assembly guide in the download zip. Fixed some minor details in the runner gear and Tourbillon cage bottom files. Fixed some qty errors in the assembly guide. Update Sep 8, 2020 Added Display stand and winding key!
