Hi Steve, I would like to print and buy your new Small 8 Day Clock update, but I have a Prusa mini, by any chance have you also made the model that can be printed with the Prusa mini?. Thank you. Maximilian.
Hi Steve, I performed the test as per your instructions and the pendulum oscillates before stopping completely for almost 20 minutes, I completed the assembly with the weight of approximately 3,128 kg but it works for 5-10 minutes then stops, I can't understand what could be the problem, do you think I need to gain weight even if I'm over 3 kg?. Thank yo
I think you have built a few of my other clocks, so I assume you know how to set the beat. It is basically balancing the operation of the pendulum from left to right.
Manually move the pendulum slowly to the left and watch where the escapement ticks. Move the pendulum to the right and watch where it ticks. Both sides should be approximately at the same angle. The beat can be adjusted by tilting how the clock hangs on the wall.
hi Steve, I have a problem, printing the Weight shell short 2p8, at the end of the 8 hours of printing there is a crack in the point you see in the photo, I printed another one but it has the same crack in the same point, in my opinion it is too thin you could look at us and if we ever change the design?. What do you think this problem could be? Thank you.
I have no idea why the same crack would appear twice at the same spot.
The model looks good. It uses the same wall thickness that I have been using for all my clocks. Check the slicer layer by layer. There should be four or more walls all the way to the top of the model when using an 0.4mm nozzle.My only suggestions are generic things that you may have already tried. Slice the model again at a different position on the plate. Do a cold pull or replace the nozzle in case there is a partial clog. Increase the temperature 5-10 degrees. Reduce print speed. Reduce the layer height. Switch between classic and Arachne slicing, although this model should work well with either one. Etc.
I printed the three rods you have in the file except the two optional pieces but I see that only one part of the center rod pendulum piece fits well with the top pendulum rod, the other end of the center rod pendulum with the lower rod doesn't do it, they don't fit together well, I've tried various pieces I don't understand why....
Just finished Steve's latest clock, its innovative and welll thought out. Loved the fact that there is a great place to hang the key. It would ba a nice touch if there was a tab coming off of one of the standoffs so that you could put a small screw into the wall to pin the clock after you put it in beat. Starting my next Peterson clock, good stuff.
A brim is an extended first layer used to help keep parts stuck to the bed while printing. It is only needed on large parts if you have trouble keeping the corners attached. The default printer heat settings and a clean build plate are often good enough to print without a brim.
The small 8 day clock needs a 170x170mm or larger printer, so it can be printed on a Prusa mini. The frame comes in a full size version that prints in one piece and a 'split' version for the Prusa mini. The split version will need to be glued using epoxy.
Hi Steve, I gained weight now it works, thanks.

Hi Steve, I printed pendulum Shaft lower and pendulum Shaft mid, but they don't match correctly see image, could you check the dimensions?. Thank you
Hi Steve, how do you print the gears?, top and bottom layers put 7 and 6?, 30% infill? , perimeters 4?, layer height 0.2 mm?. Thank you.

Hi Steve, I didn't understand with the Italian translation what I have to set on prusa slicer where I highlighted you in red. Thank you.
Hi Steve,
how much weight do you think it will take to make this watch work well?, how many kg does the model you printed work with?.
Thank you.
