The Single Pin is an experimental escapement mechanism that has a very interesting motion when you watch it slowly. The anchor and pendulum are combined, and they interfere with the motion of the pin as it is turned by the weight.
The STL File: jbvcreative.com/products/the-single-pin-escapement
Prints on all standard 3d printers without supports, requires the following additional parts to assemble:
- 1 M4x12 Screw (I used amzn.to/3Cf7dpp)
- 2 M4 Washers (These are the ones amzn.to/3Sh129Z)
- 1 624Z 13mm OD/4mm ID Bearings (These work great amzn.to/3rdtj58)
- 1mm Nylon String or Fishing Line (I used string from this set amzn.to/3dOHT00)
Recommended print settings:
Layer Height: 0.2mm
Nozzle: 0.4mm
Infill: 15-18%
Total Print Time: ~15.75 hours
Total Filament Required: ~145g
Minimum Build Plate Required: 180x180mm
Please note that these files are for personal enjoyment only. If you do wish to sell PRINTED versions of this model, you can do so with a JBV Creative Small Business License patreon.com/jbvcreative
**All the files have been pre-oriented to save you some set up time! All you need to do is drop the parts into your slicer and hit print!
