Thanks, the kids will probably break them but the thought counts.
I tried to glue the bomb around a standard weight shell but it looked terrible. This bomb was too detailed and difficult to work with. I found another one which is simpler and created a pulley attachment to attach to the base and added it in Orca slicer. I use lead shot and back fill with epoxy resin so it doesn't burst if dropped, the epoxy resin is a mess to work with and a real hassle but I like the results. My new bomb is smaller and I rotated it to clear the bob.
On the Ghost Buster I had to modify the pully gear so the string coils away from the bob, the ghost's hands tangled in the cord like playing a guitar. Can't mirror the frame parts, pullies don't line up. Just added a cord hook in Orca slicer, a small round sphere.
Thanks, I am getting addicted to clocks, so many variations and colors. You have done a great job, your designs are easy to work with.
I love both of them. The grandkids should love them.
The bomb is super cool. Is it just glued around a standard weight shell? It looks like it has very little clearance around the pendulum bob.
The ghost bob is also super cool. The updated SP2B design was a good choice for the reversal. The Perfect Print Gears are symmetrical so they can run backwards. This limits the components that needed to be flipped to the obvious asymmetrical parts (pallet, escapement, ratchet, and lower frame with cord hook). The fancy gears in the original SP2 design are asymmetrical and every single one would need to be flipped.
I added sphere for cord hook on opposite side and narrowed the area for the cord to spool up on so it cleared the bob.
