I created a new clock, compared to this one it does not need bearings but is completely printable (except for the pendulum rod) and is generally more efficient with less weight needed to work Here's the link I thought it would be easy to design a mechanical watch once you understood the mechanism, after all they have been building them for hundreds of years and without the help of sophisticated machines like our printers. I was wrong!the printed pieces are perfect but you have to deal with friction, inertia, human errors in assembly and to be able to have a working watch it took kg of filament, days of printing to correct the errors (or rather to eliminate the possibility of making errors in editing) but this is the result and I am very proud of what is my most ambitious project so far! for assembly in addition to 3d prints you will need-7 ball bearings 623zz-m3 heat inserts-m3 screws and washers- fishing line for weight-lubricant (I used a ptfe spray)-2.5 kg of rice! (but you can
