Well, my 8 day moon clock is on the wall, running well, slightly fast, but I have it down to 1 minute a day gain now. A tad more adjusting & it will be fine.
I did have a problem with the alignment of the escapement with the escapement gear, drove me nuts until I realised the Z axis on my Ender was off. Aligned now, reprinted the escapement & Bobs your uncle! All cured.
The Non Printed parts kit is worth every cent to me, I highly recommend it!
The build manual is very comprehensive, it is essential to follow it all the way.
I chose black & white for my print, it suits the decor of our apartment. I covered the globes on the dial with photos ( in black & white) of 2 people who mean a lot to my wife & I.
Thanks Steve, your design is fantastic, I had minimal clean up of gears or other parts.
Waiting to see your updated designs!
Thanks Salty, Steve’s assembly manual, if followed all the way, makes it easy to assemble, and in need, the section on problem solving is there. I have enjoyed the whole process, and like you, I can appreciate the length Steve went to to design his clocks without any supports to trim away. My first assembly was accurate within 5 minutes a day, and getting closer each day.
The other aspect I have enjoyed is your posting your photo’s & commentary throughout your build. I hope to build another of his designs later this year, possibly a desk clock.
Keep smiling Salty!
