Clock Escapement Test 1
thingiverse
Following today's clock hackathon at MBI, I decided to replicate the escapement from a YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ2OkslQSzU). As a result, I developed an OpenSCAD parametric code last night that can accommodate bearings and screws of any size to create the observed escapement. However, it's not complete yet. If you want to contribute to the clock hackathon, please refine this file so we can start producing escapements through 3D printing. Upon completion, kindly print one wheel and one pendulum block using the M3 screws and nuts for installation into pin holes. Then, install a threaded rod into the central hole of the pendulum block with nuts. Finally, test the setup, adjust distances if necessary, and reprint for optimal performance.
With this file you will be able to print Clock Escapement Test 1 with your 3D printer. Click on the button and save the file on your computer to work, edit or customize your design. You can also find more 3D designs for printers on Clock Escapement Test 1.
