Syvwlch returns with a vengance! Experiments in printable clocks
Rubber-Band Escapement Test Jig by syvwlch
I’ve been really hoping someone would design a printable clock for a while now. I need hope no longer!
Syvwlch has been long absent and long missed from Thingiverse. After a sabbatical of about two years, he’s back and posting parts for a printable clock. He’s making copious use of math, science, and OpenSCAD in the process. I’d also point out that in the span of about 24 hours he went from just one component to three in three versions – and I can’t wait to see what’s next! Click through to his offerings and leave a comment of encouragement or some feedback on how these parts printed for you.

Thank you for the kind review.
OpenSCAD and parametric design is the perfect tool for this, and I’m having fun learning a new skill. There’s still a lot of work before we get to a full-up clock, but the escapement is the tricky bit. I’m confident we’ll get there eventually, because there is no reason it can’t be done!
