The 3D printed Mechanical Wall Clock project [Source: Prusa Printers]

This week’s selection is the Mechanical Wall Clock by designer Harald Andersson.

This item is, as it seems, a fully 3D printed wall clock in the shape of a bird. I’d like to emphasize “fully 3D printed”, because that’s precisely the case here: there are no motors or electronics in this project.

The clock operates in the historical manner: a pendulum swung by gravity. The eco-friendly clock uses a masterful mechanical design to transform that swinging motion into precise clock steps, just as traditional pendulum clocks work. The difference here is that all parts are 3D printed.

There are only four non-3D printed items required for this project:

  • A string or fishing line for the weight
  • Silicone spray or other suitable (non-greasy) lubricant for the moving parts
  • Something to fill the weight with, e.g., rice or sand
  • Glue if the press fits are not tight enough

That last point is important. The first step of Andersson’s very extensive instructions ask you to 3D print a tolerance benchmark. This allows you to determine whether you’ll require glue for assembly, or if friction fit is possible. In other words, the benchmark explores the dimensional tolerance of your 3D printer to help decide on the assembly method.

There’s also a rotational tolerance test that allows you to choose which size of rotational component to choose. Again, 3D printers differ in how they print parts — the dimensions, particularly of internal holes, may vary. The rotational test is a way to avoid the usual problem of “it doesn’t fit in the hole!”

The assembly itself is of many steps, as you might suspect from the number of parts required. There’s also a precise sequence these must be applied in order to build the mechanical gearing and expect it to work properly.

Andersson explained that lubrication is mandatory on this model, otherwise the gearing will not operate smoothly. He provides a detailed diagram of where the lubrication should be applied, and how to do so.

While the assembly instructions are among the most detailed I’ve seen for a 3D printer project, Andersson also includes instructions on how to make adjustments to the clock. For example, if it’s running too fast, its speed can be slowed down.

If you’re up for this incredible project and are able to print and assemble all the parts correctly, you’ll end up with a wall clock that operates like this:

But be warned: this project includes many, many parts.

Tourbillon watch printed on a 3D printer / Habr

Gadgets 3D printers DIY or DIY

Ordinary clocks were printed on 3D printers more than once or twice. But no one has yet printed a watch with a tourbillon, until now. What is a tourbillon?

Wikipedia tells us the following: “Breguet invented in 1795, and in 1801 he patented the tourbillon (fr. tourbillon - vortex) - a device for partial compensation of the Earth's gravity. The tourbillon consists of a balance, an escape fork and an escape wheel, located on a special rotating platform (the most common rotation speed: 1 revolution per minute). This is one of the most complex and expensive additional mechanisms. The maximum accuracy of inexpensive mechanical watches reaches ±5 seconds per day; high-quality: up to ±1 sec per day, inexpensive quartz watches (this is a more modern mechanism, for comparison): ±1/2 sec. per day. Tourbillon watch accuracy is: -1/+2 sec. per day. Often the tourbillon is made visible through a window in the dial. In fact, the tourbillon rotates the entire movement around its axis within one minute, which, due to the influence of the Earth's gravity, makes the clock advance for half a minute, and lag behind for the next half minute, which eliminates the influence of the Earth's gravity on the accuracy of the movement.

And now this whole complex system has been printed on a 3D printer, and the result is quite interesting.

This miracle was created by Christoph Lamier, who designed everything needed in Autodesk Fusion 360. The clock consists of 50 parts, including springs, screws, and other parts. The most difficult to “print out” are the hairspring, anchor, escape wheel and some other elements.

Yes, the spring 2 meters long was also printed on the printer, and this would not have been possible without special device settings. To create such a spring, you must select the 'combing' or 'avoid crossing perimeters' setting.

If you have time, you can watch a video about half an hour long. All the features of such watches are shown here, so there is something to see.

If there is no time, then you can study the abbreviated version of the video:

Well, a little more, the assembly of the watch is shown here in an accelerated manner:

By the way, the design of this watch, according to the author, is similar to that of a pocket watch. But the result is somewhat larger than a regular pocket watch. So you either need a large pocket or a smaller watch to fit in that pocket. But the chain is already there - the author also printed it out.

    “Christoph Laimer Tourbillon”, the world's first 3D printed tourbillon watch

    Swiss engineer and designer Christoph Laimer has introduced the world's first fully functional 3D printed mechanical watch.

    Every day 3D technologies are gaining more and more fans,

    becoming more common and accessible, and their application

    is becoming more diverse. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how

    the art of watchmaking will be reflected in the designs created from

    with this modern technology.

    A few years ago, the world's first 3D printed tourbillon

    was already developed and presented.

    software engineer Nicholas Manousos introduced the so-called Tourbillon 1000%,

    , with all parts 3D printed. In the future

    Nicholas planned to create a full-fledged watch, since he was

    I'm sure that sooner or later it will be possible to produce a fully functioning watch using 3D printing technology

    .

    This year, only two years later, Christophe Laime decided to

    3D print a very complex, but really amazing project - a functioning mechanical tourbillon watch

    , not just

    turning into reality the idea of ​​Nicholas, but also surpassing it. The tourbillon is one of the

    famous and popular watch complications, developed over 200 years ago by the famous watchmaker Louis Breguet

    , and is still considered one of the most complex movements.

    According to the Swiss engineer, all parts for the mechanical watch "Christoph Laimer Tourbillon", except for metal screws and pins, are printed on a 3D printer. The main task is to demonstrate that 3D printing technology is developing and its capabilities open up new horizons for creativity and serious projects.

    smaller than its predecessor, it is not small enough to be worn on the arm or even in the pocket.

    With a diameter of 10 cm and a height of 10 cm,

    is much smaller than even the first tourbillon created by

    Nicholas.

    Of course, this is not the first attempt to create working hours

    using this technology, but one of the most difficult

    and interesting watch designs. Christoph Laime

    is also not the first project, among his works there were already

    working hours, but they were not so complicated and their dimensions were much larger.

    The project was developed in Autodesk Fusion 360 and printed on the Ultimaker 2 3D printer. As for the reliability of the movement and the performance of the watch, the tourbillon chronometer surprisingly works quite well, of course, it is inferior in accuracy to conventional watches, its accuracy is +/- 2 seconds per minute. The power reserve of the watch is also small, they can display the time of only about 35 minutes. The clock is wound with a plastic spring.

    Two already tested

    materials PETG and PLA were used to create the case and movement of the watch

    . For the mechanism Christophe

    used a common thermoplastic

    PLA (polylactide), which has a higher resistance

    to strong ultraviolet

    radiation, temperature and high humidity

    .
