Clock Builder Script

thingiverse

This project's development version can be found on GitHub at github.com/syvwlch/Printable-Clock-Project. Updates include v2 released on May 8, 2011, which uses a club-tooth escapement instead of a ratchet-wheel Graham and remains backward compatible with existing clock scripts. On May 13, 2011, v3 was introduced, featuring modifications to utilize the new library function for adding holes to the drum, while still maintaining backward compatibility with previous scripts. A commit summary can be found at https://github.com/syvwlch/Printable-Clock-Project/commit/d9a7dec80f6a474103868612170651c668f812d3. In v4, released on May 18, 2011, the project supports the ratcheting drum designed by rustedrobot. The developer grew weary of managing multiple clock scripts and ensuring updates were incorporated, leading to the creation of a clock builder script that calls MCAD for gears and the clockwork library. This allows users to easily modify parameters in a clock script, enabling them to experiment with various configurations, including changing the number of wheels, hands, and shafts. Users need MCAD/involute_gears, the clockwork library, the clock builder script, and at least one clock script for use. Simply open a clock script, hit F5 to compile, save under a new name, modify parameters, and hit F5 again to recompile. The first uploaded clock script will incorporate feedback from rustedrobot's experiments with previous versions.
