I have built just about all the wall clocks especially my favorite one the moon phase clock. They've all been running fine for months up until a few weeks ago. Now not one but every clock is stopping on me. I've taken them all down taking them apart re clean the bearings dusted off anything checked every gear put it all back together put it back on the wall. Started it up again and again in a few hours they all stop. Has anyone else been having this problem? Also I've noticed the hands on the clock have become very loose some of them falling off and just hanging at the 6:00 hour. Push them back on but they seem to wiggle off again. This is just a little disheartening when you put so much into making these. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

The clock running for 5 years is just PLA correct. Or you said said you like to use the silk. Are the gears on that clock silk? I've only started using silk. Of fact the SP7 I used bronze silk makes the gears look just like metal and elegant. Infact here are the pictures I told you about with that clock. (making it both stronger battery and or running it electric. Plus the frame seemed to have a slight warp to it that could have been putting some friction on some of the gears or pinions. And added a few other spacers to take up excess space so that the gears didn't have much room to float back and forth and stay in place instead.
