Clock runs for several weeks , maybe a month and stops. After awhile the weight causes the front plate to sag just enough to stop the clock. If I place my hand under the front plate and give just a little upward pressure it runs but as soon as I stop the ever so slight upward pressure it stops. I then removed the front plate and widened the hole just a hair for the arbor that has the hands. Clock then ran for a few weeks and then repeated the problem. This has happened on two different clock which leads me to believe that it has happened to others. Has anyone experienced this problem and if so have they found a solution?

I meant to say that it is hanging on a screw. I realized that one of the screw holes on my frame is stripped. I think this is making my frame sag a bit causing this problem. Do I have to re-print the entire frame or is there an alternative? I was thinking of making something that would push up on the frame but that would be difficult and would look bad. The only other thing I can think of is putting epoxy glue in the hole. It is the bottom right hole the screw seems to do basically nothing for holding the frame. Thanks for your help.
