Steve Peterson | 8-day clock gear assembly @stevesclocks | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Assembly details for my small 3D printed 8-day clock. We will walk through adding the gears, testing the pendulum bearings, and running the clock.
This is a completely updated version of my first clock designed to be more reliable and significantly easier to build. The design is available on MyMiniFactory for a very minor fee.
