It’s Complicated - 3D Printed Triple-Axis Tourbillon Mechanical Clock

[@jaydeep-p]

KZbin algorithm is gonna eat this up, ur channel gonna blow up again.

[@patrickgronemeyer3375]

ya idk you see something pretty. I see a rudegoldburg duel spring time piece. with a bunch a random flash on it. and at 300,000. seems super over priced. and un necessary. like it still has to be wound. and there are way cooler rube goldberg machines out there... this is kinda basic when compared to them... kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4XNe618lLSUpdk&ab_channel=PurdueUniversity....

[@TithePool]

This is, without qualifier, the most beautiful piece of machinary I have ever seen. I can imagine it in aluminium, brass, and annodized titanium. Absolutely stunning.

[@markkovalcson7243]

I'm extremely impressed with the thoroughness of the design, the instructions, and accommodations for real life deviations of 3D printers. The amount of time it must have taken to fine tune everything was obviously substantial. Thanks for all your hard work! I look forward to seeing mine work. I've made it a point to only print my own designs for the 16 months I've owned my 3D printer. This is the first 3D printed project that jumped out at me as something I needed to build.

One of the most impressive 3d printed mechanisms I've seen! Fantastic video as well!

[@earthisacube_lul]

give it 10 years and it'll blow tf up with more than 10M views, rememner my words

[@dmanero]

ive pledged and cant wait to start printing. this be myfirst project that is so detailed.

[@AtomsLab]

What a gorgeous work of art. Well done.

Yes the tourbillon is impressive, But the double retrograde is my favourite part

[@sky173]

Beautiful design. I'd love to see a brass version of this!

[@miguelcartuxo]

Always got your videos recommend and never regretted clicking them

[@kyleikuma5790]

How did you learn to design this? Did you go to watchmaking school?

[@mechanistic3d]

Hey Kyle, Im a fan of your channel! Hoping to see more videos on your channel. No I did not go to any watchmaking school but I'm a mechanical engineer by education. It's almost entirely experimental and a lot of time spent watching triple axis tourbillon videos on youtube, similar to how Adam Wrigley did it.

[@theofficialczex1708]

@@mechanistic3d A lot of trial and error... Very impressive work.

[@kyleikuma5790]

@@mechanistic3d Wow, i’m flattered! I’m a huge fan of yours too. As for your design, it’s so inspiring to know that a self-taught/experimental project like this possible. I’ve been very busy with school (i’m also studying ME) so I haven’t been uploading any videos, but my tourbillon clock project is still far from finished and I hope to start uploading videos again over the summer.

[@jacobhoward7579]

@@kyleikuma5790 @Mechanistic ... If I had any suggestion worth saying, it's that I found some spelling and grammar mistakes in the .PDF assembly guide ... And I do know that Kyle is 100% fluent in english, maby he could spell check... It could be the start of a good collaboration effort...

[@TheJacklwilliams]

@@mechanistic3d I can see why you did so. The movement is elegant and mesmerizing. It has caused me to want to know the history behind it as well as who crafted the first known. My focus is robotics at this point and I have to say this is an incredible implementation of mechanical robotics to say the least. The mind that first conceived this is just phenomenal. Watchmaking is just an incredible art. I will be eagerly joining in and taking part of the MyMiniFactory launch. Thanks so much for the work and putting it out there!

[@drhassoon]

I wish I can find this as a model kit! That would be amazing.

[@DerSolinski]

He is literarily selling the STL files for printing... Granted you need a dialed in printer and good material but you can build that thing.

[@CryptoTonight9393]

Exactly I would spend $200 for a kit to build one of these. But since I dont have a 3d printer we're out of luck.

[@DerSolinski]

@@CryptoTonight9393 Well pay for the files and ask somebody to print them for you, finding people who own 3D printer isn't that problematic these days. There are even websites to connect people for that.

[@neeooww]

@@CryptoTonight9393 i can print it if you want haha

[@CrazeUK]

@@CryptoTonight9393 for that you can buy a printer!!

[@geckocave]

This is so awesome, I want to scale this up a few times and cast it in brass, bronze, and aluminum someday

[@MarkFrankclocks]

I think if it were made of metal, the greater mass involved would require it to be scaled down if anything else.

[@wordsofcheresie936]

@@MarkFrankclocks The issue is the force required to turn all of the gears. Many grandfather clocks use weights to provide the force instead of a spring and weights could provide any force needed.

[@VikasVJois]

The retrograde mechanism is brilliant and the documentation is superb

Beauty at its peak....You deserve the money...i think you gonna get $20,000 in less than 30 minutes.

[@roundcore]

Because it only run's for 90 minutes maybe a better use would be a countdown timer for baking. or reminders. Seems like a simple modification, and some kind of bell or audable alert when the time is up.

[@markkovalcson7243]

I number of people have enjoyed seeing my clock work and I still consider it very impressive. I did find a weak link. After a little while the head of my winding gear sheered off. To make this more durable I took the Winding Gear into Fusion 360 and added an offset hole for a 1.5 mm 12mm steel rod. I then super glued a 12mm rod into that hole. Fingers crossed that will hold up longer, but at least it wasn't hard to open it up to replace the part.

[@mechanistic3d]

I’m delighted to hear that :). I agree on the winding gear/key weak link. The trick is to have the hexagonal clearance between the gear and key as small as possible to prevent shearing but it’s difficult due to printing tolerances. I’ll take note on this and see what could be improved in the next major update.

[@markkovalcson7243]

@@mechanistic3d Sadly it appears that the reduced amount of filament by putting a pin in place made this weaker and it has already failed. Rather than sheering off clean at the bottom of the key head, it sheered off flush at the diameter change. The pin only went in about 2mm past that point. So the stock part was more durable than my modified part.

[@markkovalcson7243]

@@mechanistic3d It appears that the silkier and metalic PLA's don't bond as well. I managed a 45 degree print without the pin and it appears to be working. However I think I should just use a normal filament that isn't a blend for this part.

[@leebtheloser]

Wow.. that is incredible..

Looks awesome Very nicely engineered.

[@darynteleu2266]

[@swankscabinet1625]

You could print the parts out a little larger than normal then have a foundry cast the pieces and the metals will shrink to the right size where you could polish them and make beautiful desk piece of brass, aluminum, mixed with some copper and bronze. It would be awesome

You should add a stepper motor and do away with the spring.
