This is a very good overview of the machine and what is needed to build it. I had a lot of fun building my machine. I printed all the parts without much 3D printing experience. All the print files are included for the parts and all sizes of jar bases (round and square holders) The first movement cleaned in it is going to be a Landeron 51 chronograph.

Excellent which cleaning fluid are you using I went for L&R and I'd recommend 10mins cleaning and rinsing times and 10 mins drying , At work we use an RM90 machine and go with 15 mins and 10 mins

[@johnhannon]

@@ClickSpringReview I used L&R #111 cleaner and #3 rinse. I had a very simple DIY machine with overhead lab stirrer/gear motor and mason jars. This KiwiCleaner should be much better. Thanks for the suggested times.

Very nice - what cleaning fluids are you using, and how are the jar seals holding up? And... Where did you get teh square jars from?

[@ClickSpringReview]

Im using L&R 566 fluids it’s expensive but well worth it it’s what we use at work, the jars I got from eBay and not had any issues with them, here is the item number 266414076572

Great looking set up and good to see a Kiwi designed machine. How much was the total cost of the assembled unit. Regards from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@ClickSpringReview]

Hi Bruce and welcome to the channel Sir, Frank the owner of the company printed the parts for me so the total was £450 but around 50/65 of that was buying the the nuts and bolts , as many places you have to buy a pack of 10 or 20 minimum order and for this you only needed 2 or 4 max

[@malcolmrodker6246]

Hi. Any idea what it might cost in the UK to have the parts 3D printed by a 3D printing company as I do not have a 3D printer. Is it an economic proposition to do so?

[@ClickSpringReview]

I'm not sure what it would cost Malcolm, The best thing would be ask a company sorry I can't be more help on that one but the machine is great

[@orgazmick]

I’ve just ordered the whole lot and upgraded to the mk2 display 👍 just got to print the parts now

[@ClickSpringReview]

[@ClickSpringReview]

[@paulstewart7696]

How much filament is required for this project please?

[@ClickSpringReview]

Hi Paul I didn't print it but it does say this in the build document to order I'm guessing you don't use it all PLA and/or PetG Filament 2kg hope this helps

[@paulstewart7696]

@@ClickSpringReview Great, thank you.

[@Michel-7.7.7]

Could you tell me the specs of the stepper motor? I have a couple of them, maybe i'm lucky and save 20 bucks😉
