SP15 Clock Printing
Printed Clocks
I have just tried to print the test cookie for the SP15 Globe and the Lat/Long lines will not print on a 0.4mm nozzle. (they show as printable in my slicer with a 0.2mm but I don't have one of these).

Thermal Coefficient of Expansion and Pendulumn Length
General Discussion
I am really enjoying the SP14 Moon Phase clock that I built from Steve's plans. It is far more accurate than I would have imagined; until I opened the windows this spring and heated up the room. Now the clock runs about 1 min per day slower. Easily adjusted for, but as an engineering curiousity does anyone know of a material I could try that has a lower thermal coefficient of expansion to see if I can minimize this sensitivity? All pendulumn parts are currently eSUN PLA+.

Frame upgrades for Moon Clock?
Printed Clocks
2) Lowered the bottom frame support column slightly to allow additional clearance for the new gear profiles. Only two new frame components need to be reprinted if you want to upgrade an existing clock with the new gears. I'm in the middle of printing my moon clock. Since Steve just posted an update, I've decided to pivot to the new version. I had just finished my frame with the old version of the the instructions when the update came out. Can Steve or anyone help me understand which two files need to be reprinted for my frame (or if I misunderstand and reprint the whole frame)? Thanks!
