Gyrotourbillon

thingiverse

I was inspired by the watch model of Jaeger Lecoultre Gyrotourbillon. For me, the most beautiful watches are those that showcase intricate mechanics and precision engineering. I've always been fascinated by the Jaeger Lecoultre Gyrotourbillon's unique design and the level of craftsmanship that goes into creating such a masterpiece. In fact, one example can cost as much as 490,000 €. I wanted to take on the challenge of replicating this intricate mechanism in a DIY project. My goal was to focus solely on the rotation mechanism of the cages, which requires a lot of patience and precision adjustments. To get started, I made a complete nomenclature with photos to document every step of the process. This includes a detailed list of accessories required for the project: 2 bearings 608 ZZ - 22x8 ep7 5 bearings 624 Z -13x4 ep 5 Wood screws M3x16 Wood screws M3x8 Wood screws M3x40 Brass shaft dia 3 mm Brass tube dia 4 mm Brass tube dia 2 mm Spring steel taken from ALI express Ref-spiral flat wire coil with constant force, 0.25x8x5000mm, type27 To improve the project, I recently added several new files: * The conical pinion mod was missing and has now been added. * A dwg file for the entire assembly, assemblage gyrotourbillon.dwg, has also been included. * Two STL files, entraineur balancier.stl and rondelle10&11.stl, have been corrected to fix an issue with oversized scale during download. * Large cages without support have been added at the request of several users. This allows you to add your own support as needed. Here are the updated cage files: Cage supérieure -SP Première cage 1 - SP Première cage 2 - mod - SP I also added a finished anchor file, ancre-def-impr.stl, at the request of several users. Additionally, I included references for bearings and quantities. Note: These updates are available to help improve the project and make it more accessible to those interested in replicating this intricate mechanism.
