How to use Fusion 360 to design a 3D printed clock escapement

[@gavinddd2070]

Thank you so much for this video. I have been agonizing over the design of an escapement for my own project.

[@333donutboy]

Thanks for sharing your process. I hope you do more of these videos. I hope to design my own clock someday. I did print out and assemble one of your clocks. I was shocked that when i put it together it worked with almost no tweaking. This is an indicator of your excellent craftsmanship. Thanks again.

Thanks, please share pictures, videos

@@jacquesfavre999 Here's a link to my/your clock. The only tweak I did was I had to add a few millimeter shim to the bottom 2 posts in order to level the gears. I did make a new part for it. I made a cap that covers the end of the axle that the hands are connected to. Thanks again for sharing.

Just wanted to say (again) that this video was really helpful. I set up my own version in F360, with a few minor changes (I marked more of the lines as construction to make it clearer, for example), and with some of the principal sizes set as parameters so I can easily make versions at different sizes. Both 100%, equivalent to your version, and 75% worked well.

Hello, thanks for the detailed video with the analysis, it seems to be the only one on all of KZbin. But please tell me why these parameters are used in the calculations? 45 degrees from base circle, 2.1 degrees offset. How is this calculated? Is it possible to read about it somewhere? And is it possible to set other parameters, such as the number of teeth or other degrees?

The escapement works really well! Thanks

огромное Вам спасибо за это видео.с его помощью я смог рассчитать и изготовить данную деталь на сломанных часах.учачи Вам и здоровья.

That's so much helpfull for my project thanks !

thank you for this video!!! I ha´ve been struggling with exactly this peaces and I leave with an excelent idea! thaaaanks!

[@JulianMakes]

Just awesome thank you. How do you decide the fundamentals of the geometry? Id love to know more of the why you choose certain shapes. Is that what horology is? Ive only just got interested in what makes a clock work and i find it fascinating great video thanks

@@jacquesfavre999 Hi Jacques that link was so great, the free ebook Mark Headrick has made was just what i was looking for, it's way over my head right now but after a quick read through i'm in awe of this fascinating and complicated subject. thanks again for the link!

Hello! Have you tried to add joints and make a motion study?

[@Erpty05]

great work!! so helpful

[@user-Atamigaputer]

brilliant fusion work

[@animoose]

This is very interesting and informative. In Mark Headrick's ebook, he talks about using different shapes of escape wheel and anchors for watches compared to the Graham escapement you show in the video. Do you have an idea of how small you can make the Graham design before needing to use the more complex watch escapement designs (like a club tooth escape wheel) instead?

[@jacquesfavre999]

I tried the graham reconsidered and that look like a good option, all angle based, so easy to scale up or down it is more forgiving, but in the end it is all about manufacturing choice FDM has a 0.2 mm tolerances, so i would say 40 to 60 mm like i like to use module 2 gears, but had good result with 1,2 module how good is your 3D printing?

[@torch2k]

Thanks for the awesome video, Jacques. It's a bit spooky, really - the escape wheel I'm working on needed a 10-tooth pinion versus 8, but is otherwise identical. Will have to check out the rest of your videos now.

[@jacquesfavre999]

Thanks Small pinion are challenging, efficiency is not that great! 6 can be done 8 is OK 10 is better 12 is great But, How big of a mating gear can you do?

[@haroon3ddesigningacademy]

great Information About this Process

[@oyvindreynen3800]

You knowhowto use that software ..how long have you been using it, and just as hobby or do you use it for your dayjob?i just got into 3 D printing just a few weeks ago, am getting my way round onshape, that was , for me, the easiest to start with...but i would like to make a mechanical clock myself, just dont know where to find the info

[@Cole_Bradshaw]

There is a guy who has a KZbin channel called JBV creative. He made a clock that you can buy the files for. Not as special as making it yourself but still cool.

Bonjour. J'ai imprimé vôtre horloge mais avec des modifications pour augmenter la durée de fonctionnement. Placé un pignon 24 dents au cliquet entraînant + un grand pignon de 84 dents avec tambour enrouleur du câble + 1 poulie au poids. Module des engrenages 1.75. Pour l'instant je contrôle la durée de fonctionnement ?

Hi sir I really want to design a clock mechanism,thank you so much, I use autodesk inventor student license by the way do you have any suggestion to me how to design a perpendicular spur gear? thank you

like this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/amjYmZt7hd6hrbM

hi did every gear was made by using sketch not using the gear generator feature? thanks

I did use the gear generator, yes

@@ianm1898 Fusion only has an involute gear generator but in, not sure if cycloid can be added

@@jacquesfavre999 thank you so much, I will ask in Autodesk forum, by the way do you have a clue how to constraint the perpendicular spur gear? I ever saw a video instead of using bevel gear,they used spur gear

Do you have plan for this escapement
