Pendulum Redesign for JBV Creative Mechanical Clock

thingiverse

Re-design of the pendulum for the JBV Creative clock for enhanced stiffness and easier assembly. Built in TinkerCAD 'cause I'm basic. Reused JBV Creative's thread profile and bearing housing. Remainder own design. You can re-use the pendulum weight and adjuster you printed from the original plans. This come in two flavours, which is which should be clear from the filename: 1. Sized for a 300x300 print bed, 10% infill should be enough. One copy of each of the 4 files is needed. 2. Sized for a 200x200 print bed, again 10% infill should be enough. One copy of the top and bottom pieces, and two copies of each of the two connecting bars are needed. Parts should slot together fairly tightly without the need for additional fastening, but a touch of glue on the mating surfaces won't go amiss, especially if you're using the copy sized for 200x200 beds. The top 'pin' of the pendulum that goes through and mates with the pallet fork may need just a touch of tape to make it the right thickness - there needs to be no slop here. !!!Update!!! Now includes split-top versions of the pendulum and a modified anchor to help set and keep the same angle between the pendulum and anchor. To fit: Push the anchor all the way on to the pendulum and insert an M4 X 12mm screw a turn or two. Pull the anchor forward and tighten the screw all the way up. There is no need for the bearing in the anchor with this arrangement. This pendulum has fixed my issues with the clock stopping. Hope it helps someone else.
