Watch winder for 2 automatic watches

thingiverse

Automatic watch winder designed to wind two automatic watches powered by geared motor, servo, or Raspberry Pi Zero. Parts list and tips: 1. Low noise motor (Option 1) and geared driving motor (Option 2) with a maximum speed of 10rpm. 2. Power switch On/Off 3. Steel pins suitable for gear axle size 4. Bearing (either printed or steel bearing) 5. Screws Motor Option: 1. Back-gear frame.stl 2. 8 driving gears.stl 3. Two Nos. 40x8 - final.stl OR Geared Motor (1020555 3K1655)Option: 1. New_8_gear.stl 2. New_motor_frame.stl 3. One No. 40x8-final.stl Control Method 1: Programmable timer and USB power supplier. http://www.dx.com/p/digital-lcd-electronic-plug-in-programmable-timer-12-24-hour-switch-socket-with-clock-summer-time-416027#.WkmJJpeYO70 Control Method 2: Raspberry Pi Zero with a modified relay controller. https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-power-relay-featherwing/overview?view=all Control Method 3: IC 555 delay timer switch Control Method 4: TPL5111 https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-tpl5111-reset-enable-timer-breakout/overview?view=all Watch cups are secured with bearings on the back panel and rotated, guarded by a front panel. To ensure perfect contact, watch cups must be heated with hot water or a hair dryer and then fitted into the panel and turned for 10+ rounds until smooth to run. Some grease may be added for easy turning. Watches were fixed in cups using oval-shaped spongy material (cut from heat pipe insulation materials). Noise may occur during operation; review motor specifications for operational voltage. If possible, use a low noise geared motor as found in crystal display stands. IC LM317 may be used to step down voltage and slow driving motor, reducing noise. A 5V USB adopter was used with a LM317 to convert voltage to 3.9V using 475 ohm and 1k ohm resistors. It is programmed to run three times daily via a 7x24 digital timer plug. Optional functions include AIY with Raspberry Pi and powered by USB for mobile docking or charging stands.

If not, design a frame to fit into the gear system. The gear is supported by axles (stainless steel pins for watches or steel rods). For long-term use, my motor was powered by an USB adopter and a power switch on the case. An external 7x24 stock timer and an USB adopter were controlled by it. I have three rotation settings per day, rotating the watch in one direction only. Many users asked for the kit or pre-built watch; please visit http://noteasy2.kmdns.net for details.
