Now imagine having to design this from the scratch ~400 years ago and without having anything like a 3d printer! Just your hands and some rudimentary tools
@Jake Yeah, there's no mechanism for setting the time, not sure what else could be missing though; not a watchmaker. Though this size clock I might be able to make, if I had a 3d printer. And time. And... Well, maybe later...
@@MigunoOS Although I find the utility function of that pretty awesome, I find the complex shapes that you can create with 3D printing more awesome than printing something big.
Very nice design. 2 suggestions: Use silicon or teflon lubricants, not WD-40. Plastic is damaged with oil. Also, With so much work, the pallet and escape wheel will likely wear out a long time before anything else does if it's plastic on plastic contact. Maybe printing them with nylon and/or carefully putting metal inserts or faces on the points of contact might give that nice clock a long life.
@@harthenry exactly oil displaces water. some oils actually evaporate. which after displacing the water leaves the metal joint dry. most oils are resistant to quick evaporation, but Volatile oils will evaporate within days or weeks.
Yes, metal springs would give a significant increase in time but as far as clocks go it wouldn't last long, a weight works great, but would require a good bit of redesign to the clock spring mechanism to work off of that instead
Idk if a metal mainspring would actually be better. I guess perhaps because it could be thinner and therefore be longer but if not then it won't make a difference.
@@Robstrap spring steel is significantly better at, well being a spring than plastic, can hold much more tension, and as you said is thinner so it can be wound up more, there are clocks like this that are able to take metal springs and they dramatically increase the runtime
Years ago I watched Clayton Boyer's wooden clock creations. The mechanical art of his wooden escapements really peaked my interest in the art of clock making. This, I must say, has got to be one of the most beautiful and brilliant things I've seen on RUclips, bravo! I really like the simulated sapphire jewels on the gears. Beautiful thing to look at.

@@michaelesposito2629 depends on cost to manufacture vs selling price..i think as a kit it could get a 70-80 dollar price point...probably find someone to manufacture packaging...i'm seeing a lot going on with 3d printers...conveyor belts on them...and all open source pretty much
I can do all that in one print. Just drop it on the ground and it starts right up.🤣😃😅 Incredible work there. Too bad these can't be mass produced (Maybe they can idk) and sold as kids toys maybe 12+.
SillyWilly699 It would stop being a mechanical clock if you added an electronic energy source, that's the magic of this, even if it only lasts 15 minutes.
I was about to ask if it does work at least one day :) I guess not. Maybe with a metal spring ? Thin and long should give about same force but for longer time than plastic spring.
And what is the width of the largest ring? it's just that my printer prints dimensions 190x190x170, can I print large rings on my printer? I want to buy files, and if a large ring does not fit on my printer table, then there is no point in buying, and if the scale of the ring is reduced to the size of the table, then all the details will have to be scaled down, it will be difficult and not the fact that the details fit, please answer if you don’t complicated.

Probably the best 3D printer project I’ve seen. I doubt this clock would be accurate or last very long, but that doesn’t matter, it’s an incredible piece that is beautiful and educational. This is basically a basketball-sized winding mechanical watch. Amazing!❤
I have questions: - Why not a Yellow Seconds Marker? - How durable it is? - Why not Quartz+Battery mechanism? - How much cost you to print it - How much time you spent designing it? - If you would sell it, how much would you charge?
I’m obviously not the one who made it, but I know some about clocks and have a background in material science so I can answer a couple of these from experience. The durability of the individual parts I would actually expect to be relatively high, but there will be issues with friction over time. Because of that friction, and the fact that the hairspring is made of plastic as well, this clock likely won’t hold accurate time for all that long, and its basic level of accuracy is going to be quite low to start with, as it only seems to be operating at around 1-3Hz for the beat rate. The idea of a quartz/battery mechanism would be better for accuracy, but it doesn’t seem that was the intention here. This doesn’t seem to be so much of a functional clock as it is a gorgeous piece of art that is made partly to test skill. I would think of it more as a sculpture than a clock, though it is an amazing way to demonstrate the principles of watchmaking, even including some very high-skill design into it.
@@charredhusk Yeah, 3D printing is st6very rough today, and some oil is necessary. Also so many pieces taking away energy, it's too much. This is the problem with our Societies, Art and Technology don't mix well, instead of 1 inspiring the other

I do have to say though, this is one of the most excellent printed clock designs I have seen so far in terms of function. Not to mention the skill required to actually design and make a functioning tourbillon, even in plastic and not metal, is already very high.
@@charredhusk Interesting, yeah it has a lot of merit, so close to be a great watch with enough refinement and optimizations.

doesn't matter, so long as the two can be distinguished from each other. In this instance, the minute hand is above the hour hand, thus making it easy to identify. The two tips of each indicator is also different as well, making it also easy to tell which hand is which.
I'd like to add some equations in here real quick, in case someone wants to use it as a clock: You'll have to calibrate the escapement mechanism: TLDR: measure the clocks time against the real time, and use the square of the ratio to shave off either the spring if it's too fast or the wheel if it's too slow. Lifted from this video: ruclips.net/video/f_b1Wtk29R4/видео.html I = moment of Inertia (Independent Variable) , m=mass of thing, R = distance of thing from center, K = spring constant (unknown) I=1/2mR*R period=2pi*sqrt(I/K) The machine works from the interplay between the hairspring and the balance wheel. The stronger springs and lighter wheels means the "second" is faster. weaker springs and heavier wheels mean slower "seconds". Take the clock and time how long it takes to reach 15 minutes. Let's say it runs fast for 13 minutes. We can take this and push it into our equations: Time=N*Period=N*2pi*sqrt(I/K) 13=N*Period=N*2pi*sqrt(I/K) Then we can solve for I: I=K(13/N*2pi)^2 But 13 minutes is too fast! So we'll need a new I, let's call it 👁: 👁=K(15/N*2pi)^2 So In order to get 15 minutes to be 15 minutes we'll need to turn this: K(13/N*2pi)^2 into this K(15/N*2pi)^2 Which isn't hard since they're off by a factor of (15/13)^2 (15/13)^2= 1.15 So you need to make the wheel 1.15 times heavier to get that time You can also solve for K using a similar approach. You get the same answer but it's flipped: 13/15 * 13/15=0.866. So that means you'd have to shave off 13 percent of the spring to slow it down to 15 minutes.
Amazing. What impres me most, are all the works who lays behind the finished product. All the drawings made for the 3d print, your exellent documentation, and all presentations drawings. And I will not even think on all the hours you have spend, doing it. Really amazing!
I would buy this as a printed set. And make my own. I think that would be cheaper instead buying detailed printer. If anybody is willing sell all the parts printed I would buy.
You would be wrong. The filament and time it takes to print this far out prices the cost of decent 3d printers now. My printer cost me 500 bucks. Can get the same one now for 300. Filament for all the colors would need a minimum of 3 rolls thats about 60 bucks. and the time to print this would and make sure each part was functional would put the cost of this easily over 300 bucks and damn near 500.
This is mind-boggling, and I can't even comprehend how you managed to take a clockwork schematic and convert it to a sliceable model. However, I would like to suggest that you mix the drum sounds to be less abrasive to the ear. I had to lower my phone volume a metric fuckton because of it
First, this is amazing, beautiful and I just don’t have enough words to describe how much I love this. Second, horology is truly an art. I wish I had the patience and the skill to do something as amazing as this.
Well done for the time and effort that went into this, it's incredible. I have a skeleton watch, and love to see the escapement in action - but this build has so many things going on, it's a joy to see in motion.

The prints look very smooth. Is this the result of an upper-crust printer, or of a lot of post-print handwork? Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Gorgeous work.
I prefer analog clocks because they're less judgmental. As I strain to get up and rub the sleep out of my eyes, I can look at an analog clock and feel a little bit better about myself, even if only temporarily. That's because it initially kind of looks like it's still only 9:15 a.m., instead of 2:45 p.m.!
This size is big and good for decoration because of the tourbillion.. But imagine watch such as Swiss watch making the same things but in small size, that's the real challenging for them (watchmaker) ...and don't keep asking why such watch like Rolex, Omega, Jaeger Le Coulter, Patek, Audemars is expensive.. you think bout it yourself
Ok. What the fk I just watched??????? And I do not even know how I ended up here. But you, who built the clock and made this vid. Let me say to you. I just came little bit. Mentally, inside my head. This clock, is just freaking amazing. I do not remember when was the last time I have felt this satisfied by just watching a video.... Amazing. The comparison of the feeling of seeing something so complex but then seeing (as the clock is assembled) and realizing how simple it in other hand is. It just tickles my brain sooo much. I vote this is the best video in the whole youtube so far. In all the unimaginary scales that might exist... Thank you @mechanistic. Just thank you...
Since there’s no search function, what is the runtime? I never took physics, but the runtime would increase with a [stronger/heavier/higher energy/correct word] spring, right? I’m really hoping that this somehow runs for 8 days and only loses 1-2 minutes, but some quick reading about mechanical watches suggests there’s no way.
Hi mechanistic, can I buy this assembled clock from you as a inspirational present to my school going kid. He likes to play with sophisticated mechanical device & 3D printing. He especially loves the Antikythera mechanism!
Anyone preparing for a tourbillon print - be prepared for a lot of failures. I've got buckets and buckets of hairsprings, anchors and gears that look great but didn't cut it. It's certainly worth it if you stick with it, but fair warning. And if it travels for anywhere near as long as this one, post it or I don't believe you.
if I buy your product, Do I have every single pcs (including screws + 3d printer parts or just printing file and I have to print them and buy screws by myself?
What is this printed in? I can only assume time keeping ability is weight dependent and if the (forgive my uninformed attempt at description) flywheel that drives the second keeping function is the wrong weight, it won't correctly track any time
No offense but this would look much more elegant if it were made in metal. Titanium, aluminium, platinum and stainless steel. Might cost a few grand or more but would become a nice family heirloom. Great work
Watching that clock run at the end was oddly satisfying. Practicality is sadly not so good. I imagine the spring wouldn't power that for more then an hour.

The machine works from the interplay between the hairspring and the balance wheel. The stronger springs and lighter wheels means the "second" is faster. weaker springs and heavier wheels mean slower "seconds".
Take the clock and time how long it takes to reach 15 minutes. Let's say it runs fast for 13 minutes. We can take this and push it into our equations:
Time=N*Period=N*2pi*sqrt(I/K)
13=N*Period=N*2pi*sqrt(I/K)
Then we can solve for I:
I=K(13/N*2pi)^2
But 13 minutes is too fast! So we'll need a new I, let's call it 👁:
👁=K(15/N*2pi)^2
So In order to get 15 minutes to be 15 minutes we'll need to turn this:
K(13/N*2pi)^2
into this
K(15/N*2pi)^2
Which isn't hard since they're off by a factor of (15/13)^2
(15/13)^2= 1.15
So you need to make the wheel 1.15 times heavier to get that time
You can also solve for K using a similar approach. You get the same answer but it's flipped:
13/15 * 13/15=0.866. So that means you'd have to shave off 13 percent of the spring to slow it down to 15 minutes.
Amazing. What impres me most, are all the works who lays behind the finished product. All the drawings made for the 3d print, your exellent documentation, and all presentations drawings. And I will not even think on all the hours you have spend, doing it. Really amazing!
great work 😍😭 can any one help me to disgen like this a wonderful clock
i just need the drawing diagram 💔💔
Would be great to add a small motor to keep it running indefinitely. Lovely work!
At the beginning when all of the pieces were going onto the bigger piece it sounded like Minecraft skeleton
I would buy this as a printed set. And make my own. I think that would be cheaper instead buying detailed printer. If anybody is willing sell all the parts printed I would buy.
You would be wrong. The filament and time it takes to print this far out prices the cost of decent 3d printers now. My printer cost me 500 bucks. Can get the same one now for 300. Filament for all the colors would need a minimum of 3 rolls thats about 60 bucks. and the time to print this would and make sure each part was functional would put the cost of this easily over 300 bucks and damn near 500.
This is mind-boggling, and I can't even comprehend how you managed to take a clockwork schematic and convert it to a sliceable model. However, I would like to suggest that you mix the drum sounds to be less abrasive to the ear. I had to lower my phone volume a metric fuckton because of it
Incredible work ! Very pleasant to watch thanks to the incredible editing !
Dude, i only look at gaming, how did i ended at a tutorial for 3d printing a clock
First, this is amazing, beautiful and I just don’t have enough words to describe how much I love this. Second, horology is truly an art. I wish I had the patience and the skill to do something as amazing as this.
This makes me wish I could print parts and make this thing. Interesting how it does not have a traditional pendulum.
Well done for the time and effort that went into this, it's incredible. I have a skeleton watch, and love to see the escapement in action - but this build has so many things going on, it's a joy to see in motion.
ik this was two years ago, but would you happen to know a good brand for skeleton watches? I've been struggling trying to find exactly what I picture in my mind.
@@zitriphyer8429 Mine is a Rotary, around the £150.00 to £200.00 mark, pretty basic - self winding, and looks pretty cool, but doesn't have as many moving parts on display as I'd like.
'Watch' this: ruclips.net/video/NRhSgrrpK7I/видео.html
How to afford one of them is not something he explains, but they are beautiful works of art. I hope you find what you're looking for!
@@Stevo_1985 thanks!
@@zitriphyer8429 No problem!
Very pleasing print, It's relaxing to see mechanisms like this work. How long does one wind of the clock last?
You are a genius Sir! I don't know how thank you! Generation after generation your work will stay as a guide of creativity and achievement !
Sell me the kit!! If you put these out with instructions for DIY build you'd make a wage!
If we ever go back to Kaladesh, I want this to be the Masterpiece for Unwinding Clock
OOH! second run for new artifacts would be awesome.
I'd, also, would like some affordable Pauper grade Artifacts in this artstyle. and maybe some uncommons?
lots of gears are attached together
0:01 he probably did that on purpose 😂
And I thought I was the only one I saw it XD.
BTW what anime is that pfp from if you know?
What kind of Program you use to make the pieces???
Precioso! Gran trabajo, espero poder imprimirlo pronto, gracias por compartir 👍
It would take me an hour to print one of those peices with my printer. I'd rather just replace 99% of the parts with a $30 microprocessor, I prefer that. Gear clock!! I did it!!
Wonderful design and very good work! I use "elephant's foot" feature in Prusa Slicer and it works flawless with my gear designs. I can even prey for it hahaha, saved so many hours from post-process. You probably know that but if you don't, you should try it.
I use it all the time ,though i usually chamfer the sharp edges that is placed on the heatbed in Fusion360, i do still use " elephant foot compensation "
I would pay hundreds of dollars for a kit. Why don’t you mass produce it and post it on eBay
AMAZING! man you are so kind for sharing all this with us! Thank you!
A satisfy video when the final work is assembled.
The best printing clock! (:
* Aivan heti tuo Arto Lauri RUclips kanavaa tilaukseen joukolla. Niin itselleen, kuin kavereille tosiaan myös.
this is amazing! :O (does the minute/hour hand move correctly relative to real time though?)
If the proportions are correct it will definetly do
Capt hook What's that Flamin Ticking sound
Smithy SMITHY hammer time ⌚ 😅
This is the coolest thing i've seen that has come from a 3d printer.
This dude has to manually drill his LEGO with his hands
Give this man a clap
My 3d printer says it can only print things from thingiverse😮
Great item. Can I scale the whole project by 500% and have the same result or this will resolve to issues with the gears? If so this will go to the lobby of the national techonological university school of architects in Athens Greece. I will send u pics
Did you know... That you could have made your video more awesome by removing the annoying background music and just leaving the actual audio?
i have printet and rebuilt the Escapement Mechanism 3 times now, still cant get it to work. or now it actually works for like 2 seconds and then it jam..

The prints look very smooth. Is this the result of an upper-crust printer, or of a lot of post-print handwork? Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Gorgeous work.
From where you got the idea about the mechanisms?
I've no 3D Printer, but I'd gladly love to buy a kit of it :-D
I prefer analog clocks because they're less judgmental.
As I strain to get up and rub the sleep out of my eyes, I can look at an analog clock and feel a little bit better about myself, even if only temporarily.
That's because it initially kind of looks like it's still only 9:15 a.m., instead of 2:45 p.m.!
This size is big and good for decoration because of the tourbillion..
But imagine watch such as Swiss watch making the same things but in small size, that's the real challenging for them (watchmaker) ...and don't keep asking why such watch like Rolex, Omega, Jaeger Le Coulter, Patek, Audemars is expensive.. you think bout it yourself
Ok. What the fk I just watched???????
And I do not even know how I ended up here.
But you, who built the clock and made this vid. Let me say to you. I just came little bit. Mentally, inside my head. This clock, is just freaking amazing. I do not remember when was the last time I have felt this satisfied by just watching a video.... Amazing. The comparison of the feeling of seeing something so complex but then seeing (as the clock is assembled) and realizing how simple it in other hand is. It just tickles my brain sooo much.
I vote this is the best video in the whole youtube so far. In all the unimaginary scales that might exist... Thank you @mechanistic. Just thank you...
Since there’s no search function, what is the runtime? I never took physics, but the runtime would increase with a [stronger/heavier/higher energy/correct word] spring, right? I’m really hoping that this somehow runs for 8 days and only loses 1-2 minutes, but some quick reading about mechanical watches suggests there’s no way.
This has a total run time of only 10 minutes? What is the use for the hour and the minute ring in that case? Or am i misunderstanding something?
Now make it print in place 😂
It's such a cool 3d print. Though there is irony in something that took 110 hours to print but only last 10 mins lol
Fantastic, I wish I could afford a 3D Printer, I LOVE Watch/Clock Movements, I'd love to have one of these Hanging on My Wall.
I cannot print with Prusa MK3S+ even with plate at 250x216 with shifted origin @ 0;-3 Can you help me making an how-to with Prusa Slicer?
Hi mechanistic, can I buy this assembled clock from you as a inspirational present to my school going kid. He likes to play with sophisticated mechanical device & 3D printing. He especially loves the Antikythera mechanism!
Anyone preparing for a tourbillon print - be prepared for a lot of failures. I've got buckets and buckets of hairsprings, anchors and gears that look great but didn't cut it. It's certainly worth it if you stick with it, but fair warning. And if it travels for anywhere near as long as this one, post it or I don't believe you.
How big is ur printer dude?? No way I could print those huge peices as one.
if I buy your product, Do I have every single pcs (including screws + 3d printer parts or just printing file and I have to print them and buy screws by myself?
I don‘t have 3D Printer but i love mechanical watches. Why don‘t you sell already printed kits? I‘d love to assembly such a stunning piece myself.
Claim: "Approximate run-time on PETG spring: 10minutes"
Video: Shows it running for 12+ minutes without slowing down . . .
What is this printed in? I can only assume time keeping ability is weight dependent and if the (forgive my uninformed attempt at description) flywheel that drives the second keeping function is the wrong weight, it won't correctly track any time
No offense but this would look much more elegant if it were made in metal. Titanium, aluminium, platinum and stainless steel. Might cost a few grand or more but would become a nice family heirloom. Great work
Sir,
Where we could buy your watch???
Many thanks for your answer & your instructions about video.
FR from Switzerland.
How long did it take for the 3D printer to make all the parts?
Watching that clock run at the end was oddly satisfying.
Practicality is sadly not so good. I imagine the spring wouldn't power that for more then an hour.
I love purely mechanical clocks, but I am terrible at remembering to wind them. Would a stepper motor just to wind the thing be cheating? Lol
Awesome job so five months long does it keep time?? And why is there so much negativity surrounding this I think its brilliant good job my man👊💚
