3D printed Christiaan Huygens Clock Build

[@FailedSquare]

i just started on your anchor escapement clock. I'm printing the frame and will probably have a busy week of printing in order to have the parts ready for assembly this weekend. I really appreciate the time an energy you've spent on these projects. I am also very thankful you are sharing them.

[@jacquesfavre999]

Thanks Good luck for you project

[@konstantinstaykov6523]

Jacques Favre, thank you sir for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to make your awesome videos!!! I wanted to learn how to use Fusion 360. Eventually I ran into your videos and I purchased a 3D printer. Now I just want to build the clocks you have shared. Thank you!!! God bless you

[@cornelisachtenzestig5533]

Awesome project mr. Favre. Thank you so much for sharing it. I wonder about the smile on Christiaan Huygens face if he could see this. :)

Ciao da Verona ho iniziato a stampare il mio orologio grazie per tutte le informazioni

[@jonathanhugon5617]

How weight can move up ? I don't understand how it's work

[@Runescope]

Do the hands move discretely though? By that I mean, does the minute hand only click to the next number at the top of the minute and does the hour hand click to the next number at the top of the hour? If the time is 7:30, the hour hand should be on 7 and the minute hand should be on the 6. The hour hand should NOT be half-way between the 7 and 8. I mean ... I know every clock NOW does it that way, but they used to be built so the hands moved discretely and I'd like to see that come back.

Great work! Beautiful design! Thanks for sharing!

[@topgun4229]

nice work ! i will try it for sure !

[@tamasszitko8270]

Welcome ! I would like to ask if the part needs to be scaled? Ender 3 Pro on my desk doesn’t fit me and when I turn it in it writes a piece for 20 hours. 0.2 mm - 20% infill - 50 mm / sec. thx help . / Sorry , google translator / .

[@joaoclaudios.freire2132]

Very nice project. Congratulations,

[@topgun4229]

i am really impress by your talent !, once again , really nice work !

[@jacquesfavre999]

Thanks

[@machinethinking]

Nice work!

[@joshuatate4876]

I have a question, the clock is too big for my print bed if I scale it down to fit do the weights change? Any recommendations other than getting a bigger printer. Using Ender 3 Pro

[@jacquesfavre999]

I printed it on a ender3V2 depending on slicer they have the annoying no print zone that prevent using the whole bed if scaling down you will have to resize the shafts You could go 80% and use 4 mm shafts weights might be a little lower as well, you ll have to experiment

[@glaysonmestre]

how long does it work?

[@jacquesfavre999]

Updated the weight needed: 3.5 kg and 850 g

[@mheermance]

Nicely done!

[@sdgdigital7153]

I see "Plywood at back - 2 pieces 1/4 or 6 mm x 300 mm x 220 mm". But why 2 pieces. For the back, the plywood seem to me thicker then 6mm.

[@jacquesfavre999]

it is two layer so I could sink the nuts in the back layer

[@robertonascimento850]

Muito muito lindo esse relógio é muito diferente ! Como faço para adquirir um igual? 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@rahmatullahsujan4292]

Jacques, excellent work! I want to ask you that how much weight the pendulum?

[@dineshvyas]

Weight doesn't matter, only length matter, to be precise calculate it for your region. L=g/(pi*pi)

[@vit.budina]

If I'd add a second wheel to the pulley, do you think the time between wind-ups would get longer, or would the torque be too low for the clock to run?

[@jacquesfavre999]

You can had pulleys, that is going to be quite a few, each weight will need an extra pulley, and then 2 more at the top as well, finally both weight will need to be double

[@vit.budina]

@@jacquesfavre999 And what about adding the pulley system and adding a brass pipe insert to every gear to remove friction? Then the required torque wouldn't be so high and the weight could stay the same.

[@jacquesfavre999]

@@vit.budina Some people have added brass inserts, even bearings to their clock and have had great success Less friction is good

[@vit.budina]

@@jacquesfavre999 ok, once it's finished, I will write here how much of a difference it made and if the pulleys work. I will probably fix one end of the rope to the bottom of the wood part of the clock, run it down to the weight with a pulley, then up into the clock and around the pulley inside and then down to the other weight, through a pulley and back up to the wood and fix it there. I'll probably use the pulleys from your other clock design.

[@Kloppin4H0rses]

These are awesome

[@mkaccesoriosodontologico1477]

Excellent job, how long have you been working? 😀

[@jacquesfavre999]

A lot

[@jsincoherency]

Great work. How come you use this strange design for your pulleys? Do you know if it has a name or if it is used elsewhere?

[@jacquesfavre999]

The original clock had spikes to prevent the rope from slipping, my spoke increases friction with waves. Not sure if it has a name

[@CathySiegert]

An excellent work. I hope, I can print this beatiful clock with such a precission and perfection. Have you any glues about temperature, infill for the PLA and so on? This would be very helpful. Thanks

[@jacquesfavre999]

I used 3D Solutech PLA at 195F, 0.2 mm layer, 20% infill I have switched to PLA +, ESUN lately with 215 F, looks like it is much stronger... Good like with your printing!

[@chrisdepalma6844]

@@jacquesfavre999 I too an using ESUN at 215F, .2 mm layer, 20% infill. Bed temp is 80C i get great results. But to get rid of layer lines, Cura slicer has feature called Ironing. Turn that on to get a nice smooth surface if you care.

[@SteveInGeorgia]

In your Galileo Escapement post you included a parts list for the things that are not printed. Could you do that for this clock? It is a beautiful work of art and mechanics. Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@jacquesfavre999]

Thanks for your comments, hardware list added in description

[@SteveInGeorgia]

@@jacquesfavre999 Thank you so much - Merci beaucoup!!!

[@davidsantanaM.]

how long does the rope last? or how often should you wind it up?

[@jacquesfavre999]

I would say about 6 hours

[@chrisdepalma6844]

I am printing this. just wondering, have you any ideas as to how to increase runtime? Maybe less pendulum swing? Motor rewind like on your other clock?

[@jacquesfavre999]

See my answer above. As far as motor, it is possible, they did not have them back then....

[@vit.budina]

maybe adding metal inserts in the gears' holes for less friction...

[@chrisdepalma6844]

@@jacquesfavre999 What is the length of pendulum measured to center of bob?

[@CCDGarden1]

Metal typically has more friction than most plastics when used in mechanical clocks. I have tried that on wooden clocks and it is worse and I wound up going to a slippery plastic like Delrin...

[@KRush-zj3rv]

Very nice video thanks for sharing. Have you thought about sharing the STL files?

[@jacquesfavre999]

Yes I have now I have now included links where you can download the files

[@maxpolaris99]

How long did it take to print everything? How much did it cost in materials?

[@shaunmorrissey7313]

can't believe i'm saying this because it's a mechanical clock BUT that looks complicated.

[@edwardandrews2752]

Jacques Do you have a plan or diagram I can work to? I have printed all the parts but have no experience of putting a clock together,

[@jacquesfavre999]

I just have this video, watch it a few times, it should help, let me know your challenges, I could do an extra video

[@edwardandrews2752]

@@jacquesfavre999 I will try again Jacques and get back to you.

[@edwardandrews2752]

Jacques thank you for the second video. That was just what I needed, clock is finished and working very well.

[@thequixotryworkshop2424]

Very nice!

[@niyoki007]

Awesome clock. You did nice work.but can you tell me how many hours / days does it work ? Because until now I printed and built two mechanical clocks. But works only for 12 hours. I cannot fimd your projects on thingiverse (I know you are on Myminifactory). Kind Regards.

[@jacquesfavre999]

it will run for about 5 to 6 hours

[@ar1081]

Great!

[@azjeepguy83]

Would you sell one? I am serious about purchasing one sometime soon.

[@j.learue3606]

A list of the hardware for this clock would help.

[@jacquesfavre999]

150 mm long 6 mm metric rods, some 3/16 or 5 mm shafts, 4 mm screws and bolts, that is abut it!

[@j.learue3606]

@@jacquesfavre999 Fantastic, thank you.

[@PaulViland]

What size bolts are you using?

[@jacquesfavre999]

mostly metric M6 x 150 for the threaded rods and M4 for the screws in various length

[@PaulViland]

Thanks, do you have the size of the metal rods you used as well?

[@jacquesfavre999]
