Moon Phase Clock

(1/2) > >>

wagnmkr:
All the recent clock making activity got me going on a Moon Phase Clock. As usual, it is one of the clocks from Steve's Clocks. His files are always good and he has put a lot of time into refining them so they are very reliable.

I have the frame done and am starting on the gears now. The clock is currently at the 19" tall mark.

Cheers

That was fast! Your printer must be smoking!  Looks like that design uses ball bearing races on the shafts. Are the shafts themselves  printed or metal?

wagnmkr:
There are three printers going full bore so the frame doesn't take long. The gears will be done on only one so all the parameters will be the same.

Yes, all ball bearings and metal axles, except for the large bearings you can see, and they are for the winding mechanism that is printed. The bearings there are not required but just help the winding go smoother.

Interesting!

I just finished a Steve Peterson Moon Phase clock today.

wagnmkr:
That is a good looking clock Gene. Is that the original, large one or the revised smaller one?

That is a small weight shell as well ... how much weight?
