Pendulum Wall Clock Final v2

UPDATE: Files for this clock are uploaded. Let me know if you have any questions. A fresh spin on the popular TheGoofy mechanical clock is here, boasting a pendulum-controlled format that's reimagined from the original gearing. Advances: I've made several upgrades to the drive system, with the most notable being 3x7x3 bearings on many gears to minimize friction. The entire system relies on 3mm rods, and most components use 3mm x 60mm rods available on Amazon, requiring minimal cutting for assembly. A second drive gear connecting to the winding drum has been added to reduce the torque created by a single gear in the system. I've also thickened the perimeter of several gears slightly to improve print quality. Currently, I'm re-examining the rewinding process to boost its efficiency. The clock face is designed to accommodate up to 4 colors during printing by switching filaments at specific print levels. Presently, 7lbs of weight drive the clock. I plan to redesign the pendulum weight since when the clock weight descends, the pendulum has caught up on the weight cable a few times. Only a small amount of white lithium grease is used on the escapement wheel tines for smooth gliding of the pendulum escapement fork, and a tiny bit more lubricant has been added to hour/minute/seconds gear shafts to reduce friction between them.
