[@analysefonctionnelle6798]

It takes so much effort to assemble such a large tourbillon. It is insane to think about people can build one that can be fit inside a wristwatch.

[@Vinlaell]

Stereo microscope and do everything under that, watchmakers back in the day had it truly rough, eye loupes suck! The complexity of the gears definitely wouldn't be possible back then for a tri axis so I'd think but with CNC here we are, but for regular movements we still got people doing it the old ways which is what I'm getting into and I love it

[@Scojopo23]

This is not only an incredible project but also so amazingly documented. Great work, seriously!

[@nullsnaggle5198]

This is almost exactly what I needed so thank you my good human/disembodied pair of hands😛

[@ColorAgent]

So cool! I built yr tourbillon mechanism (that was definitely the hardest thing I've ever 3d printed so far but so much fun), so obviously now I gotta do this one. I really like how your now using more robust screws and it doesn't look like you have any gear trains where they are 'hanging' in the air like the tourbillon (in part of the hour gear train and back down to the hour ring). I had to redo that gear train part so many times to get proper gear meshes. Basically, after printing and building one of your previous projects, I can clearly see how your designs are progressing and getting even better/more optimized. Stupid awesome!

[@DaHitch]

I don't even know what a tourbillon is, yet here I am. You win this round algorithm.

[@Vatharian]

Ever since I saw this device, I'm really thinking how to make it usable not only as a display piece. With 120 mins of runtime on metal spring, I can see small hall sensor on the right side of the device, with a magnet embedded into minute hand, which at every full hour will trigger x revolutions of winding mechanism by something like NEMA 11 or Sanyo Pancake 42 (given they have enough torque). There is enough space inside the base to hide small arduino and stepper controller, and it could be powered with megnetically attaching contacts, so no ugly barrel jacks anywhere. Still windable by key for 100% mechanical feel, but placed on a designated spot will function as a desk clock. I guess, better bearings and some PTFE lubricant here and there would do wonders for longevity.

[@pedroboueri]

That's an spectacular art work! Really unusual but cleverly put together desing.

[@SeanLumly]

This is wonderful. Have you considered resin for these builds? It would allow for an unprecedented level of quality, consistency and detail for the parts, and I think would compliment your designs quite nicely.

[@Reverend_Salem]

iirc resin isnt as good for parts that need to be flexible, so at least any springs would need to be normally 3d printed

[@Scobragon]

There are resins that are flexible.

[@Chikapuffin]

Yes, I would love to learn how to make a triple axis tourbillon youtube, thank you for suggesting just what I needed

[@migfed]

I have a question: do you think the performance of your mechanisms would be enhanced if you used gems for lowering the friction in the gears axes?

[@mechanistic3d]

I have not experimented with those clock gems but will definitely try to see if it helps for other projects. For this particular project my intention was to keep the part count low and assembly process to be as simple as possible so that it is more accessible (hopefully) . Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve never considered using gems to be honest 😂

[@soundmindtv2911]

And probably dynamically balance each gear

[@pokyinvictorleung]

I would rather say instead of gems, swapping more gears bushings to ball bearings will be more effective at reducing friction. Gems are used in watches as a substitute for metal against metal rubbing, which when compounded with light lubrication can wear real quick, which, is not happening here. The main problem is that with wear, friction changes and the time piece is no longer accurate. More detail here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewel_bearing . Now with FDM printed gears and a plastic-against-steel axle shaft, I think the friction variability is orders of magnitude larger than the improvement by using jewels. Therefore, I think jewels are not the point.

I have no idea what this is but I love it.

[@olddoggeleventy2718]

I started watching with no idea what tourbillon was. I looked it up in the dictionary and all it said was `whirlwind`. As I watched it dawned on me that this is very similar to a timepiece. My father was a watchmaker, old school watchmaker. It brought back a lot of memories as well as being fun to watch (no pun intended). I suppose this based on a Renaissance model or design? Similar to an Astrolabe? Thank you for posting.

(before watching the video) thanks algorithm, I have no clue what this is and what it does and why I would want to know how to build this

[@levi2725]

I think it's basically a wind-up, spring-powered clock. The part that rotates like a gyroscope basically normalizes the effect of gravity on the flywheel. It's not very useful in a clock that stays in the same orientation forever and is more generally used in mechanical wristwatches.

Can you make a weight powered version? That would greatly increase the runtime.
