TT Furious Tourbillon

thingiverse

6/6/20 Added new version of L1 Frame Base Bridge Main 2 STL that provides Balance Wheel alignment slot, making setup of escapement much easier. See section 7 in build notes for more information. 12/2/19 Uploaded photos of Arduino, stepper, and rotary encoder wiring. Bent all pins on Nano 90 degrees to make them easily accessible. Used shrink wrap covers and Arduino Breadboard Wires with slip-on pins. Soldered ground signal between Arduino (black) and Stepper Driver board (Orange), and +5V signal between Arduino (red), Stepper Driver board (Yellow), and rotary encoder (yellow). Refer to schematic for more details. 11/16/19 Changed screw lengths to prevent stripping screws. Posted new zip file (Thingiverse files 110519.zip) that includes updates to the following STL files: L2 Lower Body, L2 Lower Body Trellis2, Base Drive Cover. 11/5/19 Uploaded new zip file (Thingiverse files 110519.zip) with updates to the following STL files: Base Drive Outer Ring a and b, Base Drive Plate, L2 Lower Body, L2 Upper Body, L3 Bearing Race a and b, L3 Bearing Race Lower. These changes make assembly easier by increasing clearance and reducing need for sanding or filing. Also, use M2x4mm cap head screws to attach stepper motor to Base Drive Plate. Using M2x6mm screws causes them to go through plate and rub against L3 Bearing Race Lower part, preventing it from turning. 10/19/19 Added 2x1mm_Bearing_Spacer.STL file. 10/3/19 TT Furious page has been broken since creation. Attempting to fix problem by uploading only one file "TT Furious files xxxx19.zip" instead of over 70 STL, INO, JPG, and PDF files. If this does not work, download files from https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/tt-furious. Modeled design after Jacob and Co. Twin Turbo Furious watch. Spent many hours studying videos and images on the web of original watch. Similar to Gyrotourbillon and Triple Axis, tried to make model an accurate (scaled up) version of original Furious tourbillon mechanism. Printed plastic screws to scale and used them as caps to cover steel screws that actually hold it together. This is a real-time video of it: https://youtu.be/2-7S2i6AUyM. Also, it's quite large, with a diameter over 200mm. In this design, included several versions of Balance Shaft and Fork which will give you some alternatives to get it to tick easier.
