Clock Design Guidelines (PDF)

This digital download eBook describes the methods I use to create highly efficient 3D printed clocks. Chapters include the pendulum, escapement, involute and cycloidal gears, integration, debug, and more. Over 100 pages describe how clocks are designed and specific optimizations needed for 3D printing.  The primary focus is on classic style weight driven pendulum clocks starting with my first clock and progressing to my most elegant moon phase clocks. If you follow along, you will learn the details used to design your own clock. Or you can simply gain an understanding of the engineering that goes into my clocks. This digital download contains a PDF file to print or read on your computer. There are no printable STL files, just lots and lots of useful information.
